-Hah??? Please remind me on which day, or during which -hour, you said you would vote for Nader. All I remember is -you oscillating between Gore and David McReynolds.
Actually, I said I was thinking about Nader trading but decided I preferred to vote McReynolds. But I honestly almost voted for Nader when told I couldn't vote for McReynolds. But the campaign in the swing states just left me pissed off.

Try talking to young women of color. You will not find people more pissed at Nader. And these are folks in Connecticut who were Nader voters just a couple of weeks ago before his campaign through the swing states. And before his comments saying "we" could survive having Roe v. Wade overturned.
But then, you continue the brillant strategy of insulting such folks as "slow"- it's not a great recruitment tool.
