Yes. I didn't say otherwise. But voting for Nader probably benefitted Bush as well. Something that's important to consider if you want to vote for Nader. To be clear, despite this, I think that the 2000 Nader campaign was a good thing.
I think the worst thing about "first past the post" electoral systems is that sometimes you end up voting "strategically" because of the above calculus.
