So much for President Obama’s unchallenged primary run. In a letter released today, prominent “progressives” including former presidential candidate Ralph Nader announced they are seeking a slate of candidates to challenge the incumbent for the Democratic nomination in next year’s primaries.
‘Without debates by challengers inside the Democratic Party’s presidential primaries, the liberal/majoritarian agenda will be muted and ignored,’ the letter read. ‘The one-man Democratic primaries will be dull, repetitive, and draining of both voter enthusiasm and real bright lines between the two parties that excite voters.’
The letter was endorsed by 45 ‘distinguished leaders’ and included Princeton professor Cornel West, who has been highly critical of President Obama as of late. ‘His administration has tilted too much toward Wall Street,’ said West. ‘We need policies that empower Main Street.’
Yes, we will empower Main Street by handing the country over to the Republicans. This will help millions, surely. Can't wait to see who they find, since again there isn't anyone at this point that they actually have to run against the evil Republican corporatist President, including Nader himself passing this time around. And don't get me started on Cornel West again, please.
Nader's has so much success in the past. Especially in 2000 in Florida, remember? We should totally listen to this guy and expend our energy in fruitless struggle against Obama when the real problem is the Republican Party.
