Nader wouldn't help the DLC intentionally.
Since we don't have Instant Runoff Voting, Nader's actual effect on the
Democratic Party has been somewhat divisive. But Democrats have much bigger
problems than Nader. Arrogant, obtuse, abrasive DLC leaders like Al From and
the New Republic's staff are much more divisive and in a position to do a lot
more harm than Nader ever could. So, Democrats need to tell the DLC to stop
dividing and damaging the party. I'll see what I can do.
IRV is a great idea. If it's ever established, then third parties could
become a very good thing.

What is Nader doing that puts him in league with the D's? If he can mend those
political fences, I'd say he's more of a diplomat than anyone gives him credit
for.

If you supported Ralph Nader in 2004, then you should just love the DLC.
They're hard at work trying to fragment and weaken the Democratic Party, just
as Nader is. By slamming Michael Moore, Moveon.org, and others like them, they
are biting the hand that nudged progressives to vote for Kerry in 2004.
If you're firmly committed to any left-wing third party that competes with
Democrats, you have every reason to hate Moore, Moveon, Kucinich and Dean.
They've been working hard to keep progressive Democrats in the party while
speaking out about our true convictions. They might even manage to revive the
Democratic Party so that it can win a few elections.
