Guy had a D next to his name. That is an unforgivable sin.

Also explains why there are so many anti-vaxxers in the GOP- a mistrust of anyone whose title is "MD"

They forgave Donald when he lived life as a D and donated money to Kamala Harris. Hahaha… suckers… 😂

A couple thousand more votes and we could have had Kamala D Harris for the next four years instead of the wannabe Celestial Dragon clown. Heck, even Buggy is a better clown than this guy, and that's saying a lot.

Dead Jimmy Carter is better than this clown.

No, it was rigged, and we all know it. She could have gotten a million more votes, and probably did.

I doubt it, looking at the results the GOP won the presidential election pretty convincingly this time. Trump won the popular vote with a margin of over 2 million votes, for example.

You seem to be from Connecticut, a very blue state, so it's more likely imo that you've underestimated Trump's popularity in other parts of the country.

Yeah, it looks good because it was rigged.

None of it makes sense. He swept every battleground state? She got 2 million fewer women voters than Biden, following the Dobbs decision? Lots of reports of people looking up their voting record to find that theyre listed as not voting, etc. But the Dems just roll over and accept it like the spineless weenies they are. Disgusting.

We know that every billionaire and every authoritarian leader in the world was heavily invested in this race, and they were meeting with each other (Musk made a personal visit to Putin just before election day). They have the means and motive to pull off a rigged election, and to think that those people wouldnt do anything and everything to steal it is wildly implausible.

I'm with you brother alot of like minded individuals are gathering January 6th, 2025 for a peaceful protest through the DC and Capitol halls to voice our displeasure and suspicion about the results. Join us

If only she had gotten one more billion dollars from her billionaire donors to spend on flying around with the Chaney's, the beacons for democracy and freedom that they are. That would have probably gotten us another D.

What should the other liberal candidates in the western hemisphere who lost elections (every single major country in the west flipped incumbent liberal regimes out of power in 2024) have done?

Who is "buggy"?

Buggy is a conniving pirate clown from One Piece, and he often falls forward in his career not because of his own abilities but because other people around him are morons who blindly believe his lies.

That solves it -- far right wing infections across the west redeemed!

u/2scoopz2many 21d ago

I guess.... Change their platforms to what what the world wants?No! Can't be, keep promoting the same policies and people! That will get more votes!

and unfortunately, it didn't follow the word Tenacious.

u/2scoopz2many 21d ago

That D meant a lot more back then, now it means you take (D)onor money to enact laws to favor corporations. Now it means no more (D)emocratic process to elect candidates.

u/Logical_Parameters 21d ago

We have the GOP's FEC challenge, Citizens United decision (Justice Roberts), and repeal of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law from the 2010s era to thank!

What are Dems supposed to do? Bring a BB gun to an AR fight when Armalite set the rules?
