What? You mean the brother of the presidential election happens to be the governor of the state of the “contested” election? That isnt completely normal and not suspect at all??

And "coincidentally" 3 of the current conservative Supreme Court justices (Roberts, ACB, and Kavanaugh) just *happened* to work on the Bush v Gore case back before they were on the court.

I mean. It isn't a coincidence in so far as future supreme court justices typically have work experience under a Supreme Court justice. For example, Jackson (a current SC justice) clerked for Breyer (former justice) during this same time, 1999-2000 iirc. Edit: Spelling errors. But also, side note: This is just how things work. In as much as it isn't a coincidence that an assistant coach becomes a head coach in Football 🤣 that's just the progression of the profession (generally speaking).

Unfortunately, the Dems are playing tidly-winks, while the Repubs with FedSoc and conservative think tanks play 4D Chess. Does anybody believe that somewhere a progressive think tank is formulating Project 2029???

Imagine the world we would be in today if Democrats fought harder than Republicans to win. But let's ignore that for a second, because then the reality is even worse: Democrats learned nothing from the 2000 election, or they chose to ignore it because they don't want to win. I honestly think that Democrats being complete pussies is preferrable to either scenario.

"Former Vice President Al Gore delivered a blistering rebuke of President Trump’s war on Iran this week in his first wide-ranging comments on the escalating crisis, calling Trump’s lack of planning “an astonishing mistake” born of arrogance and corruption. “I never would have believed that any president would do even one-tenth of the atrocious things Donald Trump has done,” he said." "In an exclusive sit-down with *Reveal* host Al Letson for an upcoming episode of *More To The Story*, a visibly angered Gore linked the war to Trump’s climate recalcitrance and a slew of broken promises." "As the Pentagon prepared to send about [2,000 paratroopers to Iran](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/24/world/iran-war-trump-oil), Gore argued that the president had brushed aside decades of war planning for just such a scenario." " The energy crisis unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz has “been the number one question for all the war games and plans for 50 years almost,” Gore told Letson." “President Trump said, ‘Don’t worry about it. They’ll surrender before that comes into play.’ "Well, that was an astonishing mistake of the kind that you really do not want the president of your country to make because it has put us in a terrible situation.” “He told us prices were going to come down. He told us we would not get into any more foreign ‘forever wars.’ He told us inflation was going to subside. He told us the economy was going to really boom. None of those things have come true.” “This is the most corrupt administration, not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has,” Gore said. “It’s shocking to me.”

Al Gore should have run for president in 2016. That was an astonishing mistake.

Honestly, I think that was a positive. Normally the VP position is more or less a dead end. If Lieberman was VP maybe he wouldn't have been in the Senate during the Obama administration to f*** up the ACA so much.

Thanks for the European insight into American politics.You're laughably wrong about the world not being different right now had Gore been elected. Sure, plenty of stuff would be the same or similar, but plenty of other stuff would be different too. I don't get how YOU don't get that. Hyperbole and exaggerations ftw eh bud

You really skipped over that very reasonable comment that explains why that is a dream world scenario that would never have fixed this or changed anything for a significant period of time

ChiGuy6124 Mar 26, 2026 +2

How exactly do you know that to be true? In many ways that stolen election was the original sin. All i am saying is that if it hadn’t happened it would be a different world. You and the original commenter ate calling that wishful thinking on my part. It’s really not, it is merely speculation. Not sure what the problem is with that.

2

Accomplished_Sci Mar 26, 2026 +2

The fact you think that election is the original sin of where we’re at or how we got here is precisely the problem. Edit: that moment happened because things were already going wrong(not that that moment changed everything).

2

soulstormfire Mar 26, 2026

It's wishful thinking because your speculation ignores the US in general, the way Democrats work and US history in particular. There is no hard evidence Gore would be more of an outlier than Newsom or Obama.

ChiGuy6124 Mar 26, 2026

Well for one thing Gore wouldn't have started a war with the wrong country, that's just for starters. You may have a point but I don't see it. To me you are just taking an opportunity to c*** on the US, without the knowledge to back it up.

It literally would have changed the course of history, to what degree, who can say, but to say otherwise is naive and ignorant.

Accomplished_Sci Mar 26, 2026 +2

2000 wasn’t an “original sin”;it was a stress test that exposed problems already there. Polarization, election fights, and interventionist policy all predate it. And the biggest turning point right after wasn’t the election, it was 9/11; which would’ve hit no matter who won And cute logical fallacies that make YOU look ignorant and foolish.

2

soulstormfire Mar 26, 2026 +1

I want to expand on the "polarisation" since I find it to minimize grave issues: Republicans showed they would fight reality itself if it meant they can get power. Democrats showed they wouldn't even fight for their own self-defense in hopes of getting power later.

ChiGuy6124 Mar 26, 2026

"2000 wasn’t an “original sin”;it was a stress test that exposed problems already there. Polarization, election fights, and interventionist policy all predate it. And the biggest turning point right after wasn’t the election, it was 9/11; which would’ve hit no matter who won" This sentence literally makes no sense. The 2000 election occurred in November and my saying that "in many ways that may have been the original sin", I was referring to the Republicans learning that they can steal elections and what has led us to Trump. But you knew that, you were just looking for a gotcha moment. So anyway, 9/11 occurs in Sept of that year. Next the election occurs in Nov and Bush becomes president. Three years later in 2003 Bush, driven by daddy issues and D*** Chaney starts a war with Iraq who had nothing to do with 9/11. That war lasts almost 9 years, cost about 2 trillion dollars and cost America about 500 lives not to mention the wounded and the PTSD, and of course the civilian Iraq's that died in that war. and it accomplished nothing. In fact made things worse. That war would not have happened without the stolen election, and so much else would not have happened. Bush was a horrible president, one of the worse in history, and he got there because the Republicans stole the election in 2000. You place more relevance on what led to it than to the event itself. I strongly disagree. We are going to have to agree to disagree.

What you quoted wasn’t one sentence. For starters. It is called a paragraph. And that year wasn’t the first time the US dealt with “stolen elections.” https://theconversation.com/a-rigged-vote-four-us-presidential-elections-with-contested-results-67824

First case of election fraud and it was Republicans, and once they realized they could get away with it, they’ve been doubling down ever since.

He would have made a far better president than Bush or indeed Trump. I also like the distinctive way he talks. There's quite an appealing beat to it. His words have got what some people call an Al Gore Rhythm.

Why haven't we seen more "dem leaders" on the front lines of major protests? I think that's what we're missing when people around the world say that we're not doing anything. Obama should be headlining protests. Al Gore should headlining protests. Countless others should be headlining protests. They all cower behind the machinery of public relations and journalism.
