(144,945 posts)Idiots like Sarandon, Stein and Nader are not reachable and we should not waste any time on these idiots. I see nothing wrong with pointing out Nader, Stein and many greenies need to be held responsible for their stupidity Pointing out the stupidity of idiots like Nader, Stein and the greenies who are proud of election Bush and Trump is appropriate. Some greenies are teachable. For example Bill Maher is no longer supporting the greenies after 2000. Nader is now persona non-gratis in the Democratic circles that I live in.
As for holding Democrats responsible for winning elections, what the heck do you think the Democrats are doing to lose elections? All of the true Democrats who I know are fighting hard to win. I am working to fight GOP voter suppression in my state including working with some parties on the Texas redistricting case. I was in Florida for the Kerry Edwards voter protection team and have run war rooms for my and other counties in each subsequent election.
The premise of this thread boils down to the simple concept is it worth our time to waste time on idiots like Stein, Nader and Sarandon. People who are proud of election Bush in 2000 (Nader has admitted this) and Trump in 2016 (Sarandon is predicting that this will lead to some sort of revolution) are not worth it. In my case, I am dealing with some local BOB/JPR types who also may not be worth wasting my time on. My son's best friend was a moderator at a Medicare for All event hosted by Democratic Socialists and Our Revolution. I past on this even and my son told me that it was fairly worthless. I am glad that I missed this event. I am working with our local Indivisible group, a spin off of Pants Suit Republic and People Power (the ACLU grassroots group). I will pass on the Our Revolution idiots
Have fun defending Nader and Stein.
