Ralph Nader: The Democrats are unable to defend the US

[Yank2133]

No, third parties like in 2000 and in 16 took away the Dems chances for victory, that's the fact.

Why were those elections so close anyway? And why were many likely Democratic voters so willing to cast their vote for a third party? Obviously, it was because the Democratic candidate was uninspiring.

You know, i would be ok with this if this election had been Rubio vs Clinton or Jeb vs Clinton. But this excuse doesn't fly when the GOP nominee is Donald ****ing Trump.

Because Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio wouldn't have appointed someone like Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, and they certainly would never negotiate a major weapons deal with Saudi Arabia or push a wholesale repeal of the Medicaid expansion for the sake of regressive tax cuts... right?

I would take lawful evil (Rubio and Bush) over chaotic evil (Trump) any day of the week.
