Just LOL is all I can say. Probably AOC's response too.

Ralph Nader did a lot of great things for America but nobody cares anymore, which is sad. And we have a President in Trump who just ignores Nader's fundamental life's work because he's lawless.

Ralph Nader is one of a handful of respectable far-left people. He is not an Ivory Tower Marxist, such as Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky. He is a Christian socialist, a throwback to the prototype of Eugene Debs. His advocacy, activism, and actions for the environment, consumer protection, Arab-Americans, and government transparency make politician “activists” such as the Squad look like the hypocritical grand standers they are.

I skimmed the letter. A lot of it is him just moaning about the fact that members of Congress never replied to his letters, which were full of weird requests for them to attack Trump for his lewd behaviour - something that Congress has little control over outside of impeachment (which they already tried).

How is (rather embarrassingly) trying to wrangle AOC into speaking with his podcast or whatever “disrespectful?”

It was a cringe tweet by a has-been, but nothing near as rude or openly hostile as Yoho was.

Some people just can't take a hint and go home to spend more time with their grandchildren.

He doesn’t have any family IIRC. That’s probably why he’s still waging his one man war I guess.

In hindsight I’m surprised Nader hasn’t been #MeToo’d for flashing the interns or something like that.

His great niece was notably killed in Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 last year.

AOC is probably thinking, “I don’t need any advice from the person who thought taking votes away from Gore was a good idea and called Bush and Gore ,”Tweedledee and Tweedledum.””

I respect Ralph Nader, he helped introduce safety features in cars.

Way back in the 60s, GM hired prostitutes to entrap him and get incriminating pictures. He was too good a man to fall for it, which is way more than I can say for most today who criticize everything about him.

 Not only that but it was a scandal and they had to apologize and people were outraged. Today FoxNews would question his sexuality, demonize him in every possible way, GM would have talking points ready for the entire Republican party and legislation would be dead on arrival.

 Congress is totally broken because of The Republican Party and it's stopping real progress in this country.

His mother was actually an environmental activist from at least the 1950s, maybe earlier. His sisters, Laura and Claire, are mildly famous as well. He never married.

IIRC, he was actually good friends with Gore Vidal and Benjamin Spock.

My understanding is that he's the main reason why (American) cars have safety features.

Nader is remembered very much as the guy that elected George W. Bush.  Liberals turned against him when his candidacy siphoned off votes in more than one state that could have gone to Al Gore.

This is kind of unfair.  Nader was never a Democratic hack; he considered Democrats as people who gave lip service to what he believed in while compromising to special interests.  And he hasn't been entirely wrong; the Democratic Party of today is where social liberalism meets Wall Street.
