Since when are Democrats in the 21st century viewing themselves as  
politically progressive?  Nader can only be a spoiler if he actually  
has an attractive set of ideas, which he seems to.

Severo's kind of attack on Nader just shows how self-hating and right- 
wing modern Democrats have become, perhaps starting with Clinton.

The sad truth is that the Democrats have become just another party of  
the rich and corporate folks inside the beltway. Folks who think  
liking rock and roll makes them hip, and who have adopted the same  
sorry schemes that confuse distributing wealth and power held by  
individuals with commonwealth and common welfare held by society.
