71. Nader is a Spoiler
I know he said he hates that characterization, but there is truth to it.

Nader decries the 2 party system, both of which are beholden to corporate interests. He said words to the effect of no other democracy would attack a candidate this way. Yet, he has also acknowledged the problem of the electoral system.

HELLO!!!!

It is the winner take all electoral college that makes any third party candidates spoilers in one way or another. What has Ralph been doing these past 4 years to change the electoral system, to push for greater campaign finance reform? What has he done to try and improve this country other than to go around babbling, attacking our current system?

Does he really think he can become POTUS? Does he not think that with his "celebrity" he could raise awareness of these important issues in other ways?
