I'm not expert in American politics, but a left-winger's good intentions to challenge the two-party duopoly by running in the presidential popularity contest can only hurt the more left of centre part of the duopoly. The part that the spoiler would sympathize with more. Ralph Nader obviously has no love for either party and couldn't personally care less which one of the two big parties wins the White House. That would imply a pervasive cynicism toward the system and its present inhabitants. From Ralph? More from the NYTimes here.
