Oh come now. Most "Nader supporters" didn't attack "other progressives," they attacked Clinton, Gore, and the Democratic Party as an institution. You're a very effective propagandist on behalf of Dems - even Clinton and Gore, not just the good pwogwessives. You don't buy a systemic critique of the Democratic party - which is your right as an American. But it's hard to believe that it was these largely phantasmic attacks on progressives that swayed you. You think the Dems aren't an obstacle to progress; you seem to think they're an instrument of progress. That doesn't have much to do with scurrilous attacks, though the alleged scurrilous attacks may help you feel better about your loyalties.
