Loserman Lopez, like most socialists, has trouble listening to the voice of the people when it disagrees with what he thinks it should say.
Interesting that there is potentially a major personality quirk that is common between post modern leftist totalitarians and Islamic fascists (other then their obvious reactionary responses to modern progress). Neither groups will admit or accept defeat easily. We have Hezbollha fascists who: lost control of their own airspace; lost control of South Lebanon; lost most of there structures to air raids; lost some of their leaders; caused the destruction of Lebanon's infrastructure; and yet they still deny being defeated and have claimed victory. Same psychological condition applies to leftist politicians in the west (Gore, Obrador) and east (Russian Chekist). As a matter of fact the US leftist democrats even think they can run the congress and senate while their are minorities.
So we have a common mental dysfunction between both halves of the Unholy Alliance.
