(154,021 posts)not unlike others. I can tell you this, there are many REPUBLICANS, who also cannot accept that third parties exist in the United States, who cannot forgive Ross Perot for "giving the WH to Clinton." The point you guys make, they actually have more of a point.
And you think I voted for Nader since I understand the history? Is that all you got? Like your friends that is all you got. Those of us who remember, also understand why the three minutes of hate are dangerous. As you said, this is DU... where I am willing to make the wild claim, I know, that 99.9999 percent of members did NOT vote for Ralph Nader.
So that is a cannard you can go stuff in the alternate reality and false narratives you are still trying. The fact is that 243,000 votes that could have swung that election. You blame a few thousand who voted for Nader,. some of whom have never voted for Democrats, so the votes were not there... but somehow you give a pass to Harris and 70K democrats who voted for Bush.
Only when you build sand castles does this work.
And so we can have the proper three minutes of hate, here, the picture of citizen Goldstein.
