(5,267 posts)that you blame supported single payer and didn't vote because of that reason. You should just as well also blame the lackluster HRC campaign that failed to visit Wisconsin and Michigan and therefore didn't drive more votes for Clinton there. Just as Gore's failure to win his own home state is the real reason he lost (even Mondale won his home state and he was a super shitty candidate). And the reason you are so quick to blame Nader than examine the Democratic Party's own failures is what exactly? You seem to conveniently forget that had the mistaken Pat Buchanan votes on Broward County's butterfly ballot not occurred, then Gore would have won Florida. But you want to forget that those things happened so that you can blame voters you disapprove of.
So keep blaming "spoilers" but spoilers can't spoil if the main candidates do a good enough job attracting the votes they need and monitoring confusing ballots as they should. You are just scapegoating against people who are fighting for single payer. And to what end? What purpose does your unsubstantiated blamestorming serve except to prevent the Democratic party from learning and growing and doing better the next time around?
Those who fail to learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.
