Pretending to be a green, but he was really out there to help Bush steal the election and start disasterous wars.

I'm sure Mr Nader would rescind his POTUS run in a heartbeat in hindsight.

That war?

The one Hillary voted for?

And the one Sanders voted against?

That war?

And who are you supporting again?

That old bucket of pus is still drawing breath on this earth...from his multi million dollar townhome.

I sometimes forget he's still alive, myself. He's been marginalized.

why our party ends up shifting Right, and being less for the people, and more for the few. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Will Ralph Nader become Al Gore's worst nightmare?

Of more immediate interest, at least to Al Gore, are Nader's respectable poll numbers: 7 to 10 percent in California as of June, 6 percent nationally. If California tips Green enough, Bush could win the state and the whole damn election.
Which, Nader confided to Outside in June, wouldn't be so bad. When asked if someone put a gun to his head and told him to vote for either Gore or Bush, which he would choose, Nader answered without hesitation: "Bush."
