Ralph Nader's claim "#Capitalism will always survive, because #socialism will be there to save it" is the perfect punchline to the greatest economic joke: capitalism in its purest, most Darwinian form should've self-destructed a thousand times over. Yet every time it teeters on the brink, who comes to the rescue? The very socialist principles its champions claim to despise.

Banks collapse under the weight of their own greed? Socialize the losses with a taxpayer bailout.

The Democrats have written off competing in half the country and have ceased to be a true national party. Let's Start the Revolution is not just a critique but a call to action. Nader advocates for a genuine relationship between the Democratic Party and the everyday lives of the people it seeks to represent. Based on his deep understanding of the necessities, anxieties, and dreams of millions of families, #Nader charts a path forward...

Actually, that isn't true (technically *maybe*, assuming #Nader voters showed up to vote for #Gore.)

Let's focus on the TRUE cause: The brother of the #GOP nominee was the governor of Florida. The two of them exchanged "convict lists" to kick anyone with a "similar" name convicted of a crime off the voter roles (despite no evidence Texas convicts had voted in Florida.

I've never liked #Biden (but voted for him), and since 1980 have hated the cowardice and complicity of the #Democratic party to the point where I didn't vote in 1988-1992.

I voted independent in 1980 and 2000 (#Anderson, #Nader) in a futile effort to signal my disgust, both times ending in the worst possible result.

The #Democrats are the emergency, worst case option, like the levees around #NewOrleans.

Unfortunately, until we collectively build better solutions, we drown without them
