Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

What I actually wrote: &quot A)n event can have more than one cause."

What you say I wrote: "But yeah, let's blame it on the guy who was trying to fix this country. He was the only factor in that mess ...." (emphasis added)

Just to clarify: Harris's illegal purge was a factor. Nader was a factor. The butterfly ballot was a factor. SCOTUS was a factor.

The Naderites always bring up SCOTUS but never argue, for example, that the role of SCOTUS is a counterargument to the criticism of Harris. When it comes to SCOTUS and Harris, Naderites understand perfectly well the common-sense proposition that an event can have more than one cause. The implication to the contrary is dragged out only in the context of trying to deflect criticism of Nader's decision to run.

At any rate, I'm done here. You may now have the last word. (Well, the last word in this thread, anyway. In the real world, the last word belongs to Nader's voters from 2000, more than two-thirds of whom realized their error and abandoned him in 2004.)
