(1,499 posts)that thinking people might find it a little odd when I time and time again acknowledge that Nader voters could have changed the outcome in Florida in 2000 and you time and time again accuse me of denying that they could have changed the outcome?
Did you ever consider that people might think you were using the clearest straw man argument in history . . . after all, what's easier to knock down than a straw man that is already knocked down?
Did you ever consider that people might think you have NO DEFENSE to my point that the DNC/DLC could have ALSO changed the outcome in Florida in 2000 by simply standing up for convicted felons (a disproportionate number of whom were PoC) instead of worrying about getting "Willie Horton-ed" in front of their middle-right suburban base? When you utterly fail to dispute the FACTS I provided regarding how Florida had already admitted the factual basis for such a challenge BUT INSTEAD launch into a tirade about how you are such an expert in the VRA and paste in a bunch of articles about OTHER causes of action in OTHER states in OTHER elections, most people are going to figure out you have nothing.
You know that, right?
Tell me, is it just too hard to admit that, IF the DNC/DLC had not thrown thousands of Florida voters of color under the bus in 2000 because they were scared of offending their suburban middle-right base, Bush the Lesser would have had to ask President Gore for a tour in order to see the inside of the White House?
