120. No, not as you quoted. Exactly as my post said.

First, your post contained no quote at all, only your characterization of what Nader said; and your characterization did not convey the correct impression.


Your post said this is THE guy Nader wants to run for President, as though Bloomberg were Nader's favored candidate, and/or his only candidate. That gave a false impression of what Nader actually said, so my post provided the context to correct.

As far as Nader's including Bloomberg among a variety of other people, so the hell what? He mentioned a number of examples. That does not mean he wanted Bloomberg to win. In fact, it's pretty clear from Nader's entire life's work that he is on the side of the 99% and against any government that repeatedly fails them, be it by allowing auto manufacturers to manufacture vehicles are "unsafe at any speed," or by having the two political parties become more and more similar--and not in a good way.

His actual point was clear: voters should have a range of choices.

God forbid anyone in the U.S. recommends real democracy.
