See, that’s the problem. Reducing people to a label (even if it’s not true) is just the type of reasoning that leads people to vote for a strongman or a Messianic candidate. They feel cornered and misrepresented by the establishment, leading them to the fringes.

Florida has nearly 20 million people, of which almost 13 million are registered voters. 4,55 million Republicans, 4,88 million Democrats.

Tulsi Gabbard 2020.

And Hillary still could not win.

That’s bullshit and you know it.

I thought this outfit was run by Mexicans?

I was going to say, is Hamilton going to leave the media to support this notion?

This is bullshit. Just because the left “picked” Hillary they all need to unite and support her?

why are you assuming clinton was owed those votes

This is an especially idiotic hot taek.

“You’re a racist if you voted for Trump”

Cuban’s still an asshole, he just happens to be an asshole you agree with at the moment. Nobody gets to that point without being an asshole.
