Russia would have controlled him too
They were all up in his campaign
I don’t know how much bernie understood that but the Russians had his campaign staff all investigated for all the dirt they could find on them
Never forget the talk about how much Bernie bots sounded like the right wing
Bernie is incapable of building consensus with others
Hes like your grumpy uncle who hates any and everyone who doesn’t immediately agree with everything he says
Hilary would have been a great president
But it was still OK TO TRASH STRONG WOMEN

Oh yeah!
Remember in Fl when Buchanan looked at some election results and laughed at winning a certain district “those are not my voters”
The Republican Party stole FL from Gore

Butterfly ballot controversy Edit
The 'butterfly ballot' was used in Palm Beach County, Florida, where Buchanan received a controversially large number of votes.
In Palm Beach County, Florida, Buchanan received 3,407 votes—which some saw as inconsistent with Palm Beach County's liberal leanings, its large Jewish population and his showing in the rest of the state.[81] Another 19,120 ballots cast statewide were disqualified because they recorded votes for multiple presidential candidates, in some cases because of voters accidentally voting for both Gore and Buchanan.[82] As a result of the county's now-infamous "butterfly ballot," he is suspected to have gained thousands of inadvertent votes. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer stated, "Palm Beach county is a Pat Buchanan stronghold and that's why Pat Buchanan received 3,407 votes there."[81] The Bush campaign also claimed that at least 17,000 voters in the county had ties to the Reform Party.[83]

Pat Buchanan was scary.
The white Christian nationalism of Trumpism can be directly tied back to the currents of racist nationalism Pat Buchanan tapped into.

However, Reform Party officials strongly disagreed with Fleischer's assessment, estimating the number of supporters in the county at between 400 and 500; the campaign's Florida coordinator called Fleischer's claim "nonsense".[81] The Palm Beach County election official who had designed the ballot agreed that it was "suspicious" that Buchanan had received so many votes from traditionally Democratic, Jewish precincts.[84] Appearing on The Today Show, Buchanan said:
When I took one look at that ballot on Election Night... it's very easy for me to see how someone could have voted for me in the belief they voted for Al Gore.[85]t

But at least he was honest about the voters who would have NEVER voted for him
the secrecy of the vote was because corporations didnt want their employees to know they supported the racist republican party same with people............they wanted to peep their voting for racism ananonomus.
i never voted republican in my life we have known how racist they are since they stole us from our native land................it was obvious to anyone paying attention.

No, you're wrong and just making up fantasy in your head because you're in desperate need of medication and refuse to see a doctor.

Heh, where we came from it's pronounced "ant" too unless you're non-white, then it was "ahnt." Up here it's either one. The carbonated high-fructose beverage often ordered with fast-food meals is "pop" up here and "soda" down there, and "Coke" everywhere even if it's not Coke. lol

Your candidate won 7 times in 14 elections.
You have only a 50% success rating.
No wonder you aren't bothered by being on the wrong side.
Losing is like an old friend to you.

That was 1980, right? It was a tough vote, especially for a young person.
Carter hadn't exactly set the world on fire in his first term, and Reagan was, well, Reagan.
We weren't exactly overwhelmed with good choice.
I voted for Carter again, but I was far from enthusiastic about it.
I had voted for Ted Kennedy in the primary if I recall correctly.
A sitting president was primaried. That didn't bode well for Carter.
He gets more dap as a former president which isn't a bad thing when you're old..
