(120 posts)by violating the U.S. constitution's sections that give the authority to settle a disputed Presidential election to the elected U.S. House of Representatives and NOT 5 unelected, highly partisan GOP SCOTUS judges and the states the authority to conduct elections which is what the state of Florida was doing in 2000, our country would not now be on the brink of becoming a Nazi dictatorship. 160,000 legally cast votes located in the largest and most heavily democratic voting counties in Florida sit uncounted in the Florida archives as I type this post.
Nader certainly played a crucial role with his big lie that there were no differences between Al Gore and the Rehnquist 5 appointed Bush and with the GOP funded ad campaign that Nader ran in crucial battle ground states like Florida. This is what made it possible for Bush to get close enough in Florida to have his little brother Jeb and campaign co-chair Harris refuse to enforce Florida election law that the Rehnquist 5 then rubberstamped which caused 160,000 legally cast Florida votes in democratic voting counties to not be counted..
Let's also not forget that Jill Stein siphoned off enough crucial democratic votes from Hilary in 2016 and Kamala in 2024 with the same Nader big lie to put Trump in the White House.
It's long past due to hold the Rehnquist 5, Nader and iIll Stein accountable for what they've done to our country.
