Questions for those Dems who think Nader and Third Party Voters are

[bvar22]

22. Counter productive to Blame the Voters

What possible good will THAT do?
What problems will THAT fix?

It is the Party Leaderships JOB to convince people to vote for them.
If people do NOT vote for them,
it IS a Failure of Leadership.

If the Party Leadership can address the real problem,
and are willing to take responsibility for their failures,
then the problem can be solved.

Blaming the voters may feel good to the blamers,
but it NEVER solves the problem.

Al Gore, in an appearance on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, said that himself.
When Jon said that many Democrats blamed Nader,
Al Gore laughed and said,
That was my fault. I didn't do enough to convince them to vote for me.


I am convinced that if Gore just ONE TIME, had turned to The Left
and said,
I hear your voices. Maybe NAFTA and Free Trade hasn't been so good for Working People. I promise YOU, your voices and your votes are IMPORTANT to me,
and I will see what I can do.
If Al Gore had ever said anything close to the above, he would have been President in 2001.

You can't ignore, marginalize, and discount these voters,
and then expect them to carry your water, year after year,
election after election,
insult after insult....

...but keep up the good work insulting and ridiculing the people your want to vote for your candidate. 3rd parties appreciate your hard work for them.
