Giovanni Minnelli: Ralph Nader- 'We Live In a Two Party Elected Dictatorship'

Source:Giovanni Minnelli- New-Left political Ralph Nader, about the American two-party system.

"Saturday 22 December 2007: "In a December interview, Ralph Nader, who is running again as an independent candidate for president, gave his verdict on his major party opponents" 

From Giovanni Minnelli

Ralph Nader has the tendency of saying things that are very provocative, articulate, correct, even, as well as saying crazy things in the same speech or forum, making the same point.  He has a tendency to sound like a mental patient who is on his medication, but then it suddenly runs out and now he sounds like himself again, with people trying to figure out what the hell he's talking about, but in the same speech. 

America is clearly a two-party System, from my perspective a a Liberal Democrat who will probably die as a Democrat and proud to be it. We have a Republican Party made up of Center-Right Conservative-Libertarians, as well as a Far-Right, populist, Tea Party Nationalist base. 

And a Democratic Party made up of Center-Left Progressives, and Center-Right Liberals (or Classical Liberals, if you prefer) and a growing Far-Left Socialist (or social democratic, if you prefer) faction that I guess Ralph Nader would be part of, if he was still a Democrat. Of course the two major political parties are very different in America. 

If the Far-Left (or New-Left, if you prefer) in America doesn't like our two-party system, they can take their members and create their own left-wing political party. Which means raising a helluva lot of money trying to form states parties and getting ballot access for their state affiliates. Or they can try to survive a a fairly small faction as part of a much larger and diverse political party known as the Democratic Party.
