[Grimoire Lenin]

Dukakis had every chance to fucking win the 1988 Election and he blew it by being just a total coward.

No idea

 

[Jacob Fox]

Him being a Democratic Socialist or not is irrelevant to my point. Him admitting to being a Socialist regardless of the kind, damaged his image to moderates.

True but my point was that people don't understand the difference and that is why conservatives won't vote for him

 

[Jacob Fox]

That stupid tank stunt

 

[Jacob Fox]

BUT

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

From his disastrous photo op on a tank to not taking the opportunity to rip Bush Jr. or fucking destroy Dan Quayle.

 

[Jacob Fox]

I respect his honesty on the death sentence question

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Dukakis's campaign was a death sentence (pun intended), and looking back even Dukakis admitted he botched a completely winnable election so badly.

 

[Jacob Fox]

He was leading Bush by 17 points

 

[Jacob Fox]

Maybe he should have lied about his death sentence ideals

 

[Jacob Fox]

I mean.. maybe you can lie about something for the good of the country

 

[CakeWalker]

Like the moon landing

 

[Jacob Fox]

lol don't go there

 

[CakeWalker]

The greatest propaganda ever

 

[CakeWalker]

Stopped the cold war from becoming something else
