minus-squareSemi-Hemi-Lemmygod@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoOh, totally. But that goofy big-eared Texan with the charts and “can ah finish” helped Clinton. Maybe Democrats need to do something like that.
minus-squaredisguy_ovahea@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoThere’s some hope that RFK Jr. will take more votes from Trump than Biden, but there’s too much at stake in this election to be holding our breath. Perot was a hell of a character though. He was all over Mad magazine during that election.
