"I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, but I will not make that mistake again. The joke is over for Nader. He was funny once, but now he belongs to the dead."

And I wonder what he would say today or would have said in 2016.
Hint: one of the greatest writers of all fucking time.
He also said this:
"If we believed all the brutal, frat-boy threats coming out of the White House, we would be dead before Sunday. It is pure and savage terrorism reminiscent of Nazi Germany."
and this
"All we have to do is get out and vote, while it's still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House."

I think he was smart enough to figure out what was happening.

...and Hillary in the General.

(31,097 posts)4. Nah, his comment about Nader says the opposite.
He would have voted with his head, not his heart.
