Reply #32: I have to say, I think you are off base here

Now I can certainly see that quote being said by someone with bad intentions, but I can see it coming from someone with good intentions too.

This is the democratic underground, not the progressive underground. If Nader is going to run against democrats for office, he is very much a threat to the democratic party. Now ideologically we sympathize with him, so of course there is a difference, but that statement you quoted could very well mean that greens are so ideologically set that they wont compromise, therefore we shouldnt use our energy to try and get them, but rather we should focus on pulling away moderate republicans. I dont see this as at all conservative or disruptive and it is actually a pretty decent point.

The far left have moved to be more fringe as a reaction to the middling policy of certain factions in the democratic party. If that was the posters point, he was right.
