    Agreed. Moronic idealism to back corporate interests over the working class by the Dems certainly screwed us over.

    That’s not idealism my friend, just cold opportunism and cynical realism.

    Imagine if the Dems actually stole policies from Nader, and sucked in those Nader voters? Imagine how much better we’d be as a nation?

    This is a good point. However Gore was a good candidate. Not perfect, but good with a chance of winning. Nader was perhaps perfect for some people, but he absolutely could not have won anything in that election.

      Unlike Gore, who won the election, of course…
