It's not about right or wrong, it's about the person weighing in.
I don't want to hear what Jill Stein has to say about it either. Fuck both of them.
And you people downvoting: would you want to hear Newt Gingrich's take? Even if this is what he said?
You should be saying: "Fuck Kamala Harris"
The Dems knew from day one that the economy was the most important issue to voters, because the vast majority of them are working 2-3 jobs just to barely make ends meet.
So what did they do? They ran a clearly brain-damaged candidate, and when he imploded on live national TV, they subbed in Harris, who spent two months just telling people suffering to be joyful, as if it weren't only condescending, but terribly bad policy and campaign strategy. Here in Missouri the $15 minimum wage passed overwhelmingly, but Harris decided to cosplay as a moderate Republican and talk about tax cuts that no one actually thought she'd follow through with anyway, because they've spent the last four years being ignored by Joe Biden.
And they kept harping on Trump's weirdness, as if they haven't already observed that voters do not care how weird he is.
Jill Stein and Ralph Nader didn't make these crappy political decisions.
The Dems did.
Kamala Harris would not even be an issue if Nader hadn't spoiled the 2000 election.
Because Gore would have been president and everything would have been different.
So no, fuck Ralph Nader.
And if Adam didn't eat the apple, we'd all be lounging naked in paradise.
So you're comparing something that literally happened within the lifetime of most people here with something that's totally fictional?
I thought we were reminiscing about ancient history
2000 is ancient history to you?
Just how old are you?
Also, since you seem to think Adam and Eve counts as history, I think I understand why reality is an issue for you.
