While I understand that Nader was a factor, and a statistically significant one, and I don't remotely support his current bid, I still think that Nader-bashing is misdirected. Democrats should be angry at the Republican Supreme Court for overreaching their Constitutional authority, Democrats should be angry at Al Gore for not fighting harder, Democrats should be angry at the systematic voter fraud that prevented many black voters from accessing the polls. But blaming the entire election on Nader is fucking misdirected and is turning on potential allies rather than actual opponents. Aaron MacGruder said at one point that the Democrats are such losers that they were able to lose an election that they won.
