Right, and if the Cuban constituency hadn’t voted against him as a result of the Gonzales case, there probably wouldn’t have even needed to be a recount.
Also, Ralph Nader is responsible for saving so many lives that, even if you put the entire bush administration at his feet, he’s still breaking even in terms of net death caused.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg leaving out discussion of racial voter suppression in her Bush v Gore decision (at the urging of her pal Scalia) has had far more reaching negative consequences than a handful of people in FL voting for Nader.
Who the fuck are you talking about? Gore lost more votes in Florida by being associated with how Clinton/Reno handled the Gonzales case than due to people who purposefully voted for Nader
It’s just so easy to figure out 1)if what someone is talking about is something you need to care about 2)the broad strokes of what they are referring to, based on when the post was made, the previous posts that user made, or posts being made by other users.
“They’re just doing it for attention; they aren’t really suicidal, otherwise they’d be dead” are things I’ve heard self-described (men’s) Mental Health Advocates say with confidence
See also: the slander heaped on women who attempt suicide, in the name of centering “men’s mental health,” as well as the denial of the fact that women report loneliness at higher rates.
They just respond with overwhelming hostility to unattractive women (“an average man has it as bad as an ugly woman, and that’s why men are the victims here” is the logic) too.
Very funny that the people who have spent 2 years insisting Al Jazeera was an unreliable source are now using it to slander hostages who have most likely been victims of torture and rape.
