I think they are VASTLY overestimating how many Democrats he will pull. Most Democrats understand what a right wing nut he is. He'll pull disenfranchised Republicans more.

Yeah agreed. To me, the idea that he'll win nonzero electoral votes, or be pulling them from Biden instead of Trump if that happens, seems highly highly unlikely. But it's still notable that she's explicitly in favor of the idea that he should be in the race to swing the election to Trump, and that means winning.

I also like the little fascist overtone "Are there any QUEERS in the theater tonight?" type question.

He'll pull independents, that's the most dangerous thing

I don’t have a shit-site account. Can someone screenshot it?

You gave me a for real doubletake like "WTF, am I logged into Twitter for some reason?"

I am not; you just have to click. Even works through Tor if you don't want to go into their analytics. And it's a video.

Twitter hasn't loaded on half of all links for me for months. I believe Lonnie made his software engineers break it if you don't have an account, or at least people suggested as much. I don't know why some links work and others don't, however.

Please don't link to Xitter. It's slow, and shitty, if it loads at all.

I'll do as I please
