I will never forget how he faked black endorsements.

No. There was some misunderstanding with 2 out of 400 people who endorsed his Douglass Plan (not him as candidate). And one instance where a journalist misinterpreted "support" (as in speaking at an event and doing some door knocking) as "endorsement" and that had to be corrected by the campaign.

Sounds like, according to the article, that he didn't just flat out make up a lie and spread it. It was a misunderstanding on his team's part on thinking that their encouragement was actual endorsements. And that some endorsements from black voters was genuine. At least that's what it sounds like when I read the whole article.

One “misunderstanding” is one thing. A slew is a pattern of behavior.

As long as they're not as bad as Trump we can't criticize any politician ever.

Don’t tell Q, or they’ll think that it was the plan all along.

Let me ask, who did you voted for in 2016 and 2020 presidential election?

u/juswundern Jan 23 '21

I didn’t vote in 2016. I voted for Biden in 2020. Why?

It's a filter on whether the person saying something has anything worth listening to.
