35. We did run one in 2000, so how does that stack up with your theory?
I realize most Nader supporters were too buy listening to the hateful lies being told about Gore, by Nader, to listen to him or see who he was. Some idiot on this board even said that he "only had Clinton's record to judge Gore by in 2000". That is possibly the worst bit of justification for being uninformed I have heard of here.

Of course, in order to do that, Democrats continue to ignore populist issues that would have the effect of unifying the party with the disaffected who've left the party because it no longer represented their best interests, those who no longer vote because they believe it makes no difference in a "politics as usual" world, and the nearly half of the eligible voters who just don't pay attention because nothing in what the politicians say clicks with them.


The disaffected have left the party because they are prone to be disaffected and willing to listen to any chooch who will spout misery 24/7 about how the parties are the same.

As for the people who don't vote because "nothing clicks with them".. all I can say is those people should stop blaming their lack of involvement on anything besides their lazy ass behavior. Too lazy to find out who is who and too willing to believe "it doesn't matter" to justify the fact that they simply can't be bothered to give a damn. Do they want candidates to wipe their asses after they take a crap too? Grow up folks.
