Have you ever seen the music video for Testify? The gist is that Bush and Gore were identical candidates with essentially the same positions and it ends with a tacit endorsement of Nader. In hindsight Bush and Gore were not the same and the candidacy of Nader was harmful.
Their politics would have been more effective had they urged young people to rage within the system, but the rebellious message is clearly more appealing.

- hulitu 4y ago> Bush and Gore were not the same It's funny how, after those people come to power, you don't see any difference. At least from abroad.
- wefarrell 4y agoGore wouldn’t have invaded Iraq and would have made a much bigger push towards reducing carbon emissions.
- pictureofabear 4y agoYou truly cannot prove that with any level of certainty.
- scruple 4y agoHarmful how? Are we still blaming people who voted for Nader for the fact that Bush won?
- blindriver 4y agoI remember when Bush vs Kerry, they did a comparison between their policies and there was about a 3% difference between them. The Democrats and the Republicans force a false dichotomy. In reality they are the same side of the coin, and we are all on the other side. Yes, Bush had a military hard-on for Iraq that killed a million and ruined the Middle East. Fuck that war criminal. Yes, Gore probably wouldn't have invaded Iraq, but then again Trump wouldn't have fought the proxy war against Russia right now. Obama authorized the incursions in Honduras that have caused the humanitarian crisis at our borders these days. All US presidents love feeding the military industrial complex.
