That doesn't change my statement at all. It is a message board so obviously it's going to get a lot of page views from the same members. Most people don't know what Reddit is. On top of that Sanders4President is only a small portion of a site which hosts a near infinite amount of message boards. When factoring that in it is pretty drat niche.

Not voting against the Repub's is the same thing as voting for them mate. Unless you vote against them your just voting for them. There is no such thing as voting for the candidate you prefer in U.S. politics.

It is supremely lovely, but it's also objectionably bad parenting to take your 3 month old to several of those rallies with thousands of screaming people. I probably wouldn't even take my 14 month old to a rally like that, and absolutely not multiple rallies. Just do what every other sane infant parent and Bernie supporter does, dress him up in his glasses and wig and put his picture on facebook and twitter.

SIDS isn't an actual disease, it's basically a doctor throwing up his hands and saying "this baby dead, and we have no idea why".

Yeah it doesn't change what you said, but it shows how wrong it is. They get roughly 250 million unique visitors a month. Twitter is about 200 million average.

Reddit ain't some small, back woods forums like we are.

Sanders4President is certainly niche. And again most people don't know what Reddit is. Also I think you mean 25 million per month.

Parties go were the voters do. That is how a democratic republic works. If you don't vote no political party will give a poo poo about you. The reason why the dems are shifting to the left is because left people are actually voting.

It's not a myth and the people who think it is a myth are dumb. Nader ran a challenge to Gore's left and drew 181 times Bush's margin of victory. It is virtually certain that had Nader not run, Gore would be President.

The entire purpose of Nader's third party run was to draw voters from the left. All the other excuses are immaterial. All the talk about how Gore could have made up ground elsewhere is just a distraction from the clear fact that the idea that Gore could not net 500~ish votes from the 90,000+ Nader voters had he not run is utterly absurd.

Yes? The majority of the democratic voting base is more to the left than it was in 2008 and 2010. The party gave up on blue dogs a while ago.

Regardless it is only one small factor to as of why Gore lost. I'd say the intense voter suppression and tricky in Florida as well as Gore being a boring rear end candidate had more to do with his loss than Nader.

EDIT - This ignores the entire point of my post. You might as well talk about the political etiquette of Youtube commenters if you are going to talk to people who post in one of Reddit's microforums.

Again, just because the Democratic Party is too dumb to try and gobble up apathetic voters and those who would be willing to vote for them if they moved doesn't change the point that the Democratic Party is dumb,

It is not the only reason he lost, but it was the decisive factor.
