Liz, your last line says it all for anyone who remembers the debacle Nadar put the country through.
“I’ll just say in parting that if Nader voters had voted for Al Gore, George Bush would not have been president for 8 years.”
Unfortunately, too many people don’t care about the past or choose to ignore it over claims of “purity” by voting their conscience, although trying to condemn us all to helping Trump destroy the progress made since FDR shows a distinct lack of conscience; something Bernie has spoken out against. As he’s said repeatedly, it’s about the Revolution, not about him as a person.
