(98,883 posts)denied Obamas SC appointment, and there is nothing to suggest he would not have blocked any SC appointment from Obama. He would have. It is a false argument that it is all because of RGB.
The bottom line is everyone with half a brain knew the SC was at stake and yet this self-identified progressives refused to vote for Hillary by either not voting or voting third party.
In every critical swing state Hillary lost by less than 1%, while Jill stein received 1% of the vote in those critical swing states. It didnt take much.
In the end the problem wasnt , RBG, AG Garland, or Gore, it was the stupidity of those who proclaimed there was no difference between Democrats and republicans, or that the SC didnt matter, or that they were tired of voting for the lesser of the two evils. Their contribution to eventually giving us trump should never be under estimated, and the fact that they kept repeating the same foolish mistake 3 times, 2000, 2016, and 2024, with two of those times contributing to putting someone who tried to overthrow our government on January 6th, and still have no regret for not voting for Hillary in 2016. Nina Turner, David Sirota, Brianna Joy Gray, etc.are poster children because they went out of their way every chance they had to undermine Hillary, and encourage others to either vote third party or not vote at all.
