not sure if I can articulate the lessons rn but it’s the same people who are still mad about Jill Stein costing Hillary the 2016 election, ignoring that Gary Johnson got 3x her votes. if you vote you have to vote for the Realistic Option, they think if those voters didn’t have Jill Stein that they would have been forced to vote Hillary instead of just not voting like most of the working poor
The lessons they took is that the democrats need to scold lefty people into voting for them instead of changing their policy positions to appeal to those people. They blame 2000 on people voting for Ralph Nader of the green party instead of on themselves for not getting more votes or on the conservatives for stealing the close election from them (Gore actually won, the SC just appointed Bush to the presidency anyway).
Why is the author a turbolib and what are the wrong lessons they took?
