Reply #34: Not my point

Nader had zip and the complaint from his supportes was that he wouldn't take more. I am talking in general not about single donors calling up Biden and making him pale by saying his 10$ a month was being cut off. The dropouts' effort was ended under the rules of the system unless they felt they had a message to pursue greater than all the arguments against continuing a hopeless chance. I mean to critique the overall system where no candidacy is viable unless massive numbers of people in advance get the candidate a place in the game dictated first by big donors. It is too costly and daunting to even begin unless you are sure or daft enough to think you will win as the voters get some edited chance to decide. People out to make a difference, believing the majority of the people have no voice but are themselves forced to vote for a winner over content should continue for more than a "win". Many in fact say that but very few do and the pressure there is immense for many fatcors.

No chance means no voice? Does this "hurt" the others? Then the voice makes a difference? The armcahir advice from irritated people focussed on the winners' circle hardly signifies.
