    I don't think Ralph Nader was a crank. Kind of a dull boring technocrat and a liberal, but he's otherwise normal.

      At the very least Nader is responsible for two inarguably good things, even if they are just weak attempts to convince capital to be normal for once: nutrition labels on food and car engines being in the front

          Oh right he was the shoulder seatbelts guy too

          Like it's good that they exist but it's a bandaid for the car situation, pretty much sums up his accomplishments

      My parents voted for him lol. I've finally convinced them they did nothing wrong. Blowback Podcast helped.

        In my younger and more liberal days I knocked on doors for that guy. Not the most regrettable thing I've ever done. My friends all voted for Obama
