Hightower on Nader.

• Position: Letters to the Editor - Letter to the Editor

The Jim Hightower interview was great (November issue, by Matthew Rothschild). I love Hightower's courage in declaring that he supported Ralph Nader in the 2000 election and his reasoning behind that support. I also voted for Nader in 2000. I feel that the progressive agenda is the only hope for change in this country--and maybe the world.

I really believe that our President is a dangerous and corrupt man and needs to be voted out of office. At the same time, I feel that the "anyone but Bush" logic is very flawed and dangerous. Progressives must hold the Democrats' feet to the fire and push for a progressive platform. I do not believe that any Democrat is better than Bush. I do not believe that things would have been significantly better--or even different--if we would have had President Gore.

Progressives have never had a better time to push their agenda.
