    Do you realize that when you criticize Hillary and Kamala for running a “bad” campaign, you’re implying that Trump ran a good one?

    Ya think maybe, just maybe the thing Kamala and Hillary have in common that America rejected is the obvious answer?

      No.

      If I play a terrible game of chess, just absolute dogshit, and lose, that doesn’t necessarily mean my opponent played well. They could miss a checkmate 10 times in a row. They could sacrifice their queen for no gain. They could leave themselves open and only be spared by the barest fate of wandering attention failing to see any number of perfect attacks against them.

      Their lack of charisma? A tempting thought, but no. Their moderate politics? A popular position on here, but not really what I’d buy.

      What Kamala and Hillary truly had in common is that they campaigned before an audience of malicious idiots. And malicious idiots always prefer their own.

      Literally no. Pug criticizes trump plenty. If there is someone that isn’t doing that it’s them.

      No one is or should be above criticism. No one. But those who only find time to criticize very specific people without balance. Ignoring certain ones that are just as bad or worse should be called out.
