That would explain why you don’t have a plausible theory for why your party loses what should be easy contests against an unpopular candidate.  You have huge blind spots John.  You are open about it: suggesting the world would be better off if TwitterX did not exist for instance.  The most widely used open free speech forum on the planet you argue should not exist.

I haven’t.  That was your theory.  But disagreeing with you is not the same as defending another party’s candidate.  It is only disagreeing with you.

 

But I will give you yet another try at what should be a simple question: why does your party lose to an unpopular candidate?  Adrian offered a plausible explanation, I offered the other half.  Why do you suppose that happened twice?
