Bernie's campaign has nothing in common with Nader's.

[Ken Burch]

Please stop with the bullshit comparisons already.

If you want HRC, campaign on what you see as her merits as a candidate.

OK?

1. It was just one poster.

The rest of us are normal.

[Ken Burch]

2. I've seen the comparison made here several times in the last week n/t.

3. I see yahoos on both sides.

Thankfully, I think they are the minority.

I think DU overwhelming respects Bernie Sanders.

4. Fair Point

He has said he will NOT be a spoiler and is running in the Democratic primary. That means he is not taking away votes in favor of a Republican. Big difference. He is the FDR Democrat alternative.

5. I voted for Gore in 2000 but even if I didn't I think it would be wonderful if

Bernie's campaign mainstreamed Greens as Democrats.

If you recall Nader and his supporters were mercilessly guilt tripped for not running as a Democrat. All the progressives assured him they would have supported him had he opted not to play spoiler. Bernie's not playing spoiler so what's your problem, Nader haters?

6. Bernie! Bernie! Bernie! Bernie! Bernie! Bernie! Bernie! Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!

I love this man! I love his positions! I love his fire! And I love his take no prisoners attitude.

This is a real progressive!

7. Bush got more democratic votes than nader siphoned off.

It's an invalid criticism even without trying to pin it to Sanders

[Populist_Prole]

8. Well it does have one thing

It pisses off the status quo corporatists.

Only, he's not running as a spoiler. Anyone running against him is.

[phantom power]

9. Sanders is currently running a Democratic primary challenge, not a 3rd-party campaign

Nader ran as a 3rd-party candidate in the general election. Comparing Sanders to Nader is a total non-sequitor.

10. Sanders said he would support the nominee if he didn't win the primary.

Sanders is a good man.
