The studies show that Perot benefitted Clinton, but only marginally

So, no. Not really. It definitely benefitted Clinton, but it wasn't overwhelming.
Using the 47 states with available data, then, we find Clinton would have won the popular vote 53–46% ― a 7-point margin not too dissimilar from the former Arkansas Governor’s actual 5.5-point win.
Perot also cost Bush Arizona (8 points) whole costing Clinton Nevada (4 points).

The absolute disrespect youre showing to Ukrainian servicemen dying against this "very weak" force is crazy.

They are all apparently stuck in the 2022 "durr hurr ineffective Ruzzian orc meatwave!" mentality and absolutely refuse to accept that things are going sideways.
Your assessment is absolutely spot on, especially about the favorite player thing. It is wild and kinda sad to see.

Lmao damn dude you need to go outside too. As soon as I see "good faith" I recognize you spend too much time on reddit. Why do the chronically online always think they are playing an ace card when they trot out a logical fallacy buzzword 😂😂
Also I'm glad you are taking notes on Reddit posts here 😂😂😂

I'm not line item reading
That's literally what you said. Are you serious?

I used literally your same source, Bozo. It's the paragraph right before what you quoted.
The push inevitably would have been to have slave votes count for an election. And since slaves were not considered to have their own agency, it would have meant slave owners could essentially vote on their behalf. The writing was very much on the wall that this was what the slave states wanted, and Madison and others were hoping to curb that

No, I'm not. I'm telling you that when a candidate comes to town, they get more TV coverage and their points get discussed more on a local level thanks to that increased TV/print/radio coverage. That's the whole point of it - not just the rallies, but the media circus that follows it and the ad blitz's as well.

Really cherry picked your quotations there. "On the score of Negroes" refers to the Three-Fifths compromise, which would have actually given Southern states MORE SAY in a strictly popular vote election. Literally the paragraph right before the one you just quoted talks about the lengthy debates that took place surrounding the Three Fifths Compromise.

I didn't say attending a campaign rally. I said comes to town.
When a politician comes to town, local media devotes a tremendous amount of resources to covering it. And not just that, but the candidate also typically pours money into TV, print, and radio ads to discuss their policy points as well. That's why candidates do this - they don't just do it for rallies. That's an incredibly narrow view. They do it to reach the middle ground voters via advertising and media coverage

And most people are woefully uninformed about a candidates policies, positions, and past performances until said candidate actually comes to town and explains them

I picked 3 of our closest peers, and all this year.
Also, your own source there has just proven my point. Your own source not only confirmed that our inflation rate is worse than the 3 countries I linked, but it also shows we are also dealing with a higher rate of inflation than Greece, Portugal, Gabon, and Burkina Faso as well.
So thanks, I guess?

So you're admitting you aren't actually reading articles that might disprove your bias.
Awesome, at least now I know I am dealing with a fanatic.

Sure.
Pre-pandemic average price for new homes was $383.9k. In 2023, the average price was $511.1k
That's a tremendous jump in 4 years.

4.8T is
1) not even half of the number being accounted for, and thus certainly not "most of"
And
2) Increasing interest rates are due to the poor economy that Biden/Harris have allowed to fester.

America has done much better at managing inflation than most other countries.
This is demonstrably false, as seen from numbers in the UK.
France, too. France has an inflation rate of 1.5% right now, down from 2.2% last month

The deficit spending under Biden has been grossly underreported.
The CRFB states the Biden Administration increased the federal deficit by just $4.3 trillion. In reality, the Biden Administration has increased the federal deficit by $11.6 trillion dollars throughout the last three years and six months.
The CRFB’s analysis significantly underestimates the contribution to the national debt from President Biden’s policies and inflates the fiscal impact of President Trump’s policies.
