Nader himself wasn’t a bad guy (he legitimately did a ton for automotive safety in the 70s-90s. His actions have actually probably saved countless lives). I just hate that he kept allowing himself to be the useful idiot like that.

I agree. I participated in that campaign and a few marches. People were energetic and hopeful, and there seemed to be a good grassroots leadership structure, but then it just all went away. Whatever this shit is today is just some shell usurped by a political hedge fund.
