    Then maybe he should shut up.

    This garbage that you’re posting is extremely offensive, @mozz. A national abortion ban would subject hundreds of millions of women to potential medical atrocities. Trump is promising to round up approximately ten million Latinos and send them to concentration camps.

    Ralph Nader, Mother Jones, and you are helping to make that happen.

      I fully agree with the idea that if Biden doesn’t win the upcoming election, the world including women and Hispanics and Palestinians and American soldiers and Democrats and a whole bunch of other people will be actively in danger. I’m voting for Biden in the general election.

      I actually think Biden is a radical upwards departure from the Democratic norm; he’s concretely advancing a progressive agenda in ways that no Democrat since Carter has. Yes maybe it’s good to add that as explicit context when posting this article.

      At the same time, I think it’s 100% justified as Nader does here to examine “how the fuck did things get to such a state that a Democrat like that could be in any kind of trouble as an incumbent in an election against literally one of the worst people in the world.” Since he’s someone who’s been involved in landmark legislative gains like the creation of OSHA, I think it’s relevant to listen to his critique of the media and the DNC establishment.

      But yes, Biden definitely needs to win this particular election or else there will be a whole lot of suffering in many different places in the world. On that we can agree.

        “how the fuck did things get to such a state…”

        Because Ralph motherfucking Nader, and Mother Jones, and other scumbags like them, tore Americans away from reality and from sanity. That’s how.

          It’s always the 3% that voted 3rd party and never the 15% that swapped party. Your candidate couldnt even win his home state, if he did, he could have lost Florida and won the election. Blame your own party for your loss and quit trying to deflect responsibility to others
