that because Al Gore was the lesser of two evils, principled people should vote for Nader.

Thank goodness that the politically astute Susan Sarandons of our country saved us from what would certainly have been the disastrous presidency of Nobel Peace prize laureate/environmental activist Al Gore.

I believed in this lie for a few years but it was Jeb Bush who delivered hs brothers Win and subsequently the Supreme Court which is when one says when I grow up I wanna run for President so I can be selected to be president by the Supreme Court. And Bernie is way way more popular than Ralph. And is liked by all parties. Which is what I thought the Democratic party was about but of late not sure about that anymore . Hey if my memory from 1988-1990 is still very fresh in my mind (13-15 yrs old ) some earlier too. I sure as shit remember what they did in December. It had nothing to do with Ralph.

...had anything to do with Gore's loss?

Still gonna drag that "Nader/Sarandon did it" canard around? Thank goodness there's good folks like you around to rewrite history.

Only clicked on this to see who'd call "new rules" first.
They seem a bit tight assed on first skim.
But we'll see.
Fealty pledges ain't exactly my thing.
Me being all democratic and stuff.
I don't come here for the echo.

....whose taken oodles of money from superpac a & Wall Street
.....who has not supported universal single payer health care
.....who didn't support expanding social security until Bernie pushed her
.....who has been an aggressive hawk on foreign policy
......who voted for the Iraq War
......who supported the privatization of prisons
......who long opposed gay marriage
......who has been an ardent advocate for anti-U.S. Worker free trade agreements
......who changes her positions as political expediency dictates
.......who won't release her speeches to Wall Street so we can see how she really thinks
......who played fast and loose with security protocols while sec o' state
......who's just another multi-millionaire, entitled, political opportunist who shares little with most Americans & runs with a pack of Dem hacks whose failures have allowed a rightwing ascendancy in so many states
......who only wins the nomination through a process mired in fraud & voter suppression (NY, CA, etc.)
......less progressive than Bernie on almost every issue

Good? Evil? JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

However, he's says that which I am thinking but sound too impolitic for me to say.

I this were Dungeons and Dragons, Hillary's character would be aligned evil and Trump's chaotic evil.

We can't have a bunch of "Told ya so" going on.
So let's all just sit down, shut up and pretend we
never saw it coming. TPP will be the tell.
I could be wrong but I don't believe she's
quite done "Evolving" just yet on that subject.
Of course if it happens, it will be bad form to
point it out , so...yeah.

You think she is not evil? Just watch what she will do with foreign policy. Many more people will die in the Middle East. She will spend our tax dollars on the new fanatical Right Wing govt. in Israel with largess. She will go to war and you will have to witness these painful events, knowing full well that you chose this candidate. For me a million dead in Iraq, 275,000 dead in Syria and more in Libya is quite enough death and evil. I am done with the Democratic Party after 50 years of voting for them.
