Re: a decent analysis, I'd say

I don't think a vote for Nader is a call for, or
depends on, being for Revolution Now. I expressly
stated that voting for Nader is an alternative to such
a view. I did it last time around, and although I
think is an error this time around, I don't demonize
people do who. I think that reasonable disagreement on
this issue is possible. I also think it's a tired
topic. Everyone has said his piece on the topic.

I probably am somewhat testy, or was when I wrote
that. Things are better now.
