Ralph Nader starry eyed about plutocrat Michael Bloomberg ?

Ralph Nader sees " progressive " potential for Michael Bloomberg




With no regrets-even as a democratic Socialist myself- I voted twice for Ralph Nader himself as president of the United States. His ideas and opinions on plutocrat Michael Bloomberg rising above the muck of the two party system do remind me of what right wing Talk Radio is always saying about Republican Donald Trump. But Bloomberg is much more acceptable to Nader's vision of better, more responsible, more responsive government. Of course, Ralph Nader never claimed to be a socialist-even with ex-Trotskyist Peter Camejo as a running mate.
      Is not Bernie Sanders vs. Donald Trump a contest of a pseudo-socialist vs. a pseudo-fascist for the hearts and minds of  American voters ?
        But where in history does a Great Man solve deep rooted class contradictions ? Google the question " Was Marx right ? ". I still think so.
Michael Bloomberg is " progressive " ?
