They seem to feel pressure to say a lot. I saw it with Nader in 1996 and 2000. In one sense it was, like, amazing … he’d do five campaign appearances in a day (typically, at five university campuses in an area, for example) … and at each one he would talk for two hours. He was making a point in counterposing his in-depth presentations to the three-minute sound-bite superficiality of mass media interviews . . . but, Ralph, it was too much in the way of counterposition. An hour too much.

They go on for too long …. Jill Stein did, and Bernie did, and Cornel does. So this is great:

. . . that’s all that needs to be said.
