| 103. You know why Nader ran and got a chunk of support? |
|
It was because it was becoming harder and harder to see the difference between republicans and democrats. Clinton was republican light, and many on the left were sick of that.
Democrats are refusing to learn their lessons and as a result are eager to piss all over their base every chance they get. So don't be shocked when the base decides to go elsewhere around election time.
