Not all of us recognize these people, as they aren't in the news very often. Posting their names with their pics would help.
Perhaps they are Papa Bear and Goldilocks?

If they hadn’t run, Harris would still have lost, since 9 million fewer voters showed up to the polls.

West and Stein are distractions and nuisances, but they aren’t the villains of the 2024 election story.

Their attacks didn't encourage people to go to the polls to vote for Harris and democrats. They are part of the problem.

To ignore them is to ignore mold.
