I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

If it wasn't for Gore, Nader would have been President :(

Warren's entire career is really funny. pure ambition and arrogance. from faking her heritage for advancement, to being a republican until Clinton, to entering politics to oppose biden, the bernie backstab, and the biden realignment. and all the little things in between. just lol

It's almost all there. GM tried to send prostitutes to be caught with Nader in order to discredit him during the Unsafe at Any Speed controversy and he had absolutely no interest, either because he knew it was a set up or because he just isn't into orgies.

biden hurt his foot, his press people came up with a story that it was while playing with his dog (he's very spry for his age!) and within 2 days biden himself accidentally (senile) admitted he actually just fell in the shower.

is there a clip of this? all I can find is him saying he fell while playing with his dog after taking a shower.

I guess the subtext is that he was buck rear end naked when it happened and completely wet from head to toe? this story keeps getting sexier.

As far as I know he wasn't a politician of any kind, just a "consumer advocate" (his words) which is a lawyer by trade but running a group specializing in lawsuits by consumers against companies. So an ambulance-chaser by any other name.

I didn't say ambulance chasing was necessarily bad. In a world literally no automotive passenger safety standards or regulations it was obviously necessary. It's difficult imagine stuff like reverse lights, seat belts, and passenger side door mirrors being optional with a near-zero take rate (especially on cheaper cars like the Corvair).

On the other hand, Unsafe at Any Speed was definitely a hit piece that cherry-picked evidence in its favor while ignoring the rest. The Corvair wasn't appreciably more deadly than any other car of the era assuming the driver could drive and knew what oversteer was. The only reason to pick it over any other car at the time was because it was highly visible and GM had the most money to go after. The book was sensationalist and factually shaky to promote his career, GM just guessed wrongly when they supposed that he wasn't in it for altruistic reasons which, in retrospect, seems to have been the case.

Also LOL didn't Bernie say he "didn't want to be the next Nader" as his reason for backstabbing the left?
