Miller appeared on Fox News on Sunday, where he went off on a rant about the Democratic votes were thrown away as the party rallies around Vice President Kamala Harris.

"They held a primary. They had ballots. They filled out circles!" Miller shouted on Fox News. "They went to the voting booths. They spent money on advertisements!"

Still yelling, Miller says that Republicans also spent money running against Biden.

    I've been very much thinking that Biden had the best chance to win, mostly due to name recognition, and that switching candidates would be a bad idea because there isn't a lot of time left for campaigning. I didn't think Joe was necessarily the best person to be president (given the options), but I did think he had the most exposure and was most likely to collect votes.

    But I didn't really consider that switching candidates might seriously upset the Republican campaigning strategy. This could work. As long as the Democrats line up behind Kamala and don't fragment, this risk might pay off.

      The democrats should've had a real primary with actual debates. That would've exposed the Biden situation way earlier and would've given the eventual candidate a democratic mandate. Biden dropping out now isn't ideal, but now is better than later, it was only going to get worse.

      The ideal scenario would've been for Biden to keep his word about him being a transitional candidate that would step aside after one term.

        He didn't really promise per se. He said in some interviews that he saw himself as a bridge candidate, but he never made a pledge. I assume he was trying to not make himself a lame duck president right out of the gate, which can make it difficult to pass policies.

    This sounds like they slept on oppo research and message testing for anyone but Biden and now they realize they're at square one.

    Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,

    Was singing! Without any presents at all!

    He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME!

    Somehow or other, it came just the same!

    And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,

    Stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?

    'It came without ribbons! It came without tags!

    It came without packages, boxes or bags!'

    Guys like Miller can't understand the idea of self-sacrifice if there's no money or personal gain to be had, later. He's frustrated because he can't figure out the "angle" and it's no more complicated than for the good of the nation. And that's a completely alien idea to him.

    We are not that interesting.
    Or cute.

    And also you don't post online when your can-opener malfunctions. Your either try scratching it or replace it.

    (To be clear, this is sarcasm, all of it, all animals, including some humans, are capable of feelings, but different parts of our brains specialised differently through evolution.)

    What in the holy fucks name happened here, can't rely on this brainhole for one minute, ffs.

    Journalist Andrea Chalupa said Sunday, "A Black woman is about to become president, and Stephen Miller is having a meltdown."

    I had to look up what kind of a "journalist" would say something so brave and untrue. Unsurprisingly her twitter is the most cringe lib shit I've ever read. Also her journalistic endeavour seems to be a monthly podcast with less that 500 views.

      Kind of like anyone just becoming a "software engineer" by claiming it, the title of journalist seems to be meaningless today.
