37. Voting green is a vote for repugs

I know what happened in Florida because 15 of my 24 years spent working on dem election campaigns were spent in Florida. Nader knew exactly what he was doing. with his big lie. He created it to hurt dems. Nader took crucial votes from Al Gore with his big lie that their were no differences between Al Gore and the SCOTUS appointee. Nader was in Miami the weekend before the 2000 election. Let's also not forget that the repug leadership council which was a subsidiary of the repug national committee paid $5 million for Nader's tv ad campaign promoting Nader's big lie which ran in battleground states like Florida. Do you really think that Al Gore would've put Alito and Roberts on the SCOTUS? Repugs have continued to help the greens because they know that the greens can siphon off enough dem votes to help repugs win. Now the greens might possibly cost dem Rubin Gallego his Senate seat and help install far-right nut job Kari Lake.

What's left to count: -misanthroptimist Nov 2024 #11
I hope so, but that they haven't called it with about 20% of the vote left to count means they aren't sure. JohnSJ Nov 2024 #13
