I was thinking about this question a few days ago.  When you get down to
it, it is an argument for organisation:  a bunch of dispersed activists
can't do a lot of the things that the same number of activists could do if
they were organised.

Let's face it:  if leftists join the Nader campaign as individuals, they
will essentially just be more Naderites.  If they join as a group, they
will be evil sectarians trying to swamp the campaign and take it over.  You
can't win.

I'm glad I don't live in the US.
