Nader pulled from D and R voters in equal measure.
Nader’s Wikipedia page disagrees.
Miami-Dade county was deliberately obstructed from completing its vote counting by Republican campaign staff
Blaming Nader for a judicial coup is asinine.
Yes, we should not forget that the Republicans were the real villains here. And that the Democrats should have protested much harder. However, the point is that Gore was initially declared winner, but because his margin was not significant enough, there was room to obfuscate the victory. Had he gotten Nader’s votes, it would have been more difficult to claim Bush victory.
You hardly have to imagine. Just ask Republicans how they felt about the Perot voters in '92, when Clinton swept the EC with 43% of the total vote.
Yeah, it was mostly a rhetoric question. I was mainly thinking all the bullshit about stolen election in 2020.
