Well the film documented how Ralph Nader didn't do a thing to the Democratic campaign. Its not Ralph Nader's fault that Al Gore didn't carry Tennesse, Arkansas or any other state his administration had affilitation in.

Is it Nader's fault that Gore gave up so easily.

And I find it humerous that he's aligned with "the left", what one of his policies is either left or right exactly?

It's also not Nader's fault that the popular vote doesn't mean **** in presidential elections.

That depends on the members of the electoral college, and their sense of duty/ethics.

Exactly. Popular vote really doesn't matter. Even if the the electorates vote corectly and accordingly you could still get the popular vote and not become president ie: 2000.

That's extenuating circumstances though.

Do you understand my point? Gore got the popular vote. Everyone saying that third party and messed up ballots is wrong. It's the system that's flawed.

I know what you're saying. But I think it's not the system that's bad (IMO) but the fact that now due to the media and the mindset of the current public in general, the system can be easily manipulated. I can't think of any form of government that doesn't have it faults though.

And so you're siding with Nader as a consumer/citizen advocate.

Here please watch the preview here and then tell me what you think:
