Stupid question: what started the Nader flood?

[Recursion]

Sorry. I try to keep up with news but we're doing our formal wedding ceremony in a week and, well, I can only keep up with so much at once (plus I wrote the wedding music so I'm on the phone with the string quartet about bowing directions since my music notation software doesn't print those well).

Anyways, as I said, stupid question: did Nader just make a statement about 2016? (Or 2014?) What brought this flood on?

Yes, Google is my friend, but I've found DU's answers to stupid questions are much more informative and amusing.

1. Ralph Nader outlines 2016 plan

... “I’m going to find at least ten enlightened billionaires or multibillionaires and I’m going to have a criteria. Have they spoken out about where they think the country is going? And are they worried about it? And have they done things reflecting some sort of civic enlightenment and courage? And are they able to communicate? Obviously, they have the money. And I’m going to encourage them to run” ...

Clinton in 2016? No thank you, says Nader ...

“We really need a dynasty now? We’ve had twelve years of the Bushes, what — do you want eight more years of the Clintons? Do we really want a redux here or do we want fresh energy and refresh redirection?” Of his specific criticisms of Clinton, Nader says the former Secretary of State “never saw a weapons system she didn’t like, never challenged the Pentagon when she was on the Senate Armed Services Committee” ...

3. Ah...I see.

Now I know why I didn't know. Because I don't care.

[Recursion]

5. Thank you

That explains it.

[bunnies]

8. oh boy.

Thanks. i was wondering too.

[Wait Wut]

2. I have no idea, but...

...if possible, please post the finished piece...after the ceremony, of course! You had me at 'string quartet'.

[Recursion]

4. I'm licensing the music under Creative Commons, if you're interested

And, for anyone who's wondering, writing the wedding music gets you, I've found, huge groom points.

6. The Supreme Court decision, and nader's view that there is no difference between the two parties

[Recursion]

7. Which decision?

I promise I'm not acting stupid, just actually being stupid. Which decision?

[still_one]

13. The voting rights act today. A key part of it was overturned today

[Recursion]

18. Hm. The Nader flood started before that

The Nader flood started as far as I can tell yesterday morning.

[still_one]

21. That is my issue with his view

[Cali_Democrat]

15. The Supreme Court just voted to gut the voting rights act

A major civil rights era piece of legislation.

If Gore won the election, this likely wouldn't have happened because he wouldn't have appointed conservatives to the court.

[Recursion]

17. No, it preceded that

This Nader flood has been around for at least 36 hours.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. Oh

I hadn't noticed.

[graham4anything]

9. I have repeated my thoughts on Nader every single day somewhere online since 2003.

and forever more I will repeat them til the 80-20 is here.

At that point, I hope Mr. Nader is forever forgotten about.

He broke it, he owns it.

He said Al and George were one and the same.
he lied.
Even if you believe everything else is the same, SCOTUS makes the two sides different
(I for one don't believe Nader is correct in any shape or form.

IN 2013, the worst democratic person in office, is better than the best republican one.

14. "When he's good, he's very very good, and when he's bad, he's horrid"

[Skidmore]

10. Good luck with that ceremony.

I'm impressed with the composition of the score. Congratulations.

[Recursion]

20. Thanks! We have a much longer one in Calcutta this winter

This is just the rehearsal for that...

[The Straight Story]

11. Maybe because we have Obama in office now and people still want gore

[yurbud]

12. Every day is corporate shills kick the left day here at DU even though the left is the vast majority

of DU.

22. Sometimes, like e.e.cummings, you gotta say, "There is some shit I will not eat" and 0bama's got

the shovel. Pro-union; pro-environment; pro-privacy cut no ice with this administration.

[yurbud]

23. except a year before the election, you all get one nice photo op and some kind words

then after you vote, he treats us like his gimp and locks us in a trunk.

[snooper2]

16. trolls trying to "up" their street cred

as they aren't real bright and think this is the only thing democrats talk about
