“They voted for Trump to punish the Democrats.”
Oh, that didn’t work. Losing elections isn’t the same as being punished. Not saying it was a bad move, I’m saying it was the wrong one. It was also a bad move though.
“All Harris had to do was stop the war.”
Oh is that it? Just as a VP / figurehead, swoop on over and say, “Stop it.” Man, why hasn’t anyone ever tried that before?
Dearborn, I hope your lives work out ok. You’ve really fucked up.
she was running for president, and they were asking for her to commit if she won. no one expected her to do anything as VP.
That isn’t what the article said, it isn’t even what the rest of the quote I posted said.
And your point? Just because they found an idiot they could quote doesnt make it a wide spread viewpoint. Also if she had won she would have had a lot more clout in the remaining months on policy.
My point is that you’re not making any responses which are relevant here. You’re making inventions out of your assumptions and trying to get other people to talk about those instead of the quote.
But the quote is right there, and it doesn’t matter if you think the actual mayor of Dearborn is an unrepresentative idiot or not, does it? Plenty of other folks disagree, and they’re not on the internet trying to set up straw men to dunk with.
Thats nice. Maybe you should reread the article since its clear that not what the mayor said.
Ah you’re right, the council member.
Okay, I’ve reread it. What part of your comments should make more sense now?
