Basic math (even for Trumpanzees):
*Only 1 in 10,000 have serious adverse reactions to the COVID vaccine
* The vaccinated are 74% less likely to die from COVID
* COVID death rates in beet red counties have been 2-6X the rate of deaths in the bluest counties

Perhaps because he doesn't understand demographics, or the history of past U.S. elections, or pay attention to election totals, Fintan doesn't grasp that the power transfer after 2024 far exceeded the vote differential. Dems barely lost the House and the popular vote & won 4 of 5 swing Senate races.

You can't fix stupid.

I'm with you. Sometimes we can say obvious tactical errors were made (like Dukakis/Kerry not fighting back aggressively when they were attacked/defined), but other times structural factors just aren't on our side.

Careerist media charlatans (from elite backgrounds) love to paint Dems as 'out of touch' with 'real Americans,' even though Dems are the ONLY party who represents real Americans' interests.
The blame for Trump?
It's the bigotry & political illiteracy, stupid.

Remember when Combover Caligula told us multiple times that COVID will 'go away by the summer' of 2020 (as the first of 1.4 million Americans were dying from it) and was such a narcissistic fool that he insisted on leading daily briefings about complex scientific subjects he had 0 understanding of?
