Wha? Jon was not _prescribing_ such a response. He was warning of a genuine risk. Kerry has to loose for Nader's run to be of any importance. If Nader earns the title of "spoiler," blackballing of Nader and his campaigners are the likely impact. Not universally, but enough to matter. You and Yoshie have warned that supporting Kerry would injure the anti-war and other left efforts. The negative fallout for the left (or whatever you want to call it) was your paramount concern. Now, Jon's cautionary example of the detrimental impact of Nader's run on the very same efforts is fobbed off. Why the capitalist Nader or small business-happy Greens have the support, even tacitly, of uncompromising Marxists still confounds me.
The entire Nader campaign is all line, no party. There aren't many better examples of "bitter and irresponsible sectarianism" than this.
