NEVER AGAIN TO FRACTURE
protests votes led to failure each and every time

Democratic party could have should have would have won for 80 plus years in the presidential without the damn protesters and fracture and the liars like Ralph Nader
who should have run for senate or governor or house and not been so lazy and actually worked a day in his life.

VOTE straight democratic 99% of the time, except in the 1% of the time when the person will promise to caucus with the democratic party

NEVER AGAIN Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Ralph Nader, David Duke,

and Rand Paul and Jorg Haider and David Duke are as close to idealogically clones as humanly possible
