Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

Apparently, they didn't even inform McDaniel before announcing that they were cutting ties with her. Just pathetic.

RFK, Jr. has named Nicolle Shanahan has his VP pick. Shanahan has one credential for the job; she is rich and therefore will be able to help him pay for getting on as many state's ballots as possible. They have no chance of winning, but they could very easily facilitate a Trump victory.
