9. When the same group did the same thing to Hillary in 2016 where we lost the Supreme Court

because of that folly, and they did a redux in 2024 which absolutely contributed to putting the sociopath into the WH a SECOND TIME, that isn't a "diversion". That is stupidity.

George Santayana, said it best, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

and what happened in 2000 can be added to that list also.

Some folks are so anxious to blame what happened in 2024 on "Establishment Democrats", conviently ignoring the fact that many of those same folks refused to vote for VP Harris, by either not voting or voting third party in 2024. Same thing in 2016 where we lost the supreme court.

In every critical swing state in 2016 Hillary lost by less than 1%, while jill stein in those critical swing states received 1% of the vote. It didn't take much.
