    I have no particular love for either of the Clintons but I’m still sad about Gore. Between the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, real action on climate change before it was too late, and the underregulation that led to the 2008 financial crash, the whole fuckin world would be different if he’d been allowed into office after he won the election.

      Just think how much further left we’d be if Hillary won. Instead Trump won and the Overton window went off the cliff. How’d those protest no-votes go? *They ended up being counter-productive.

      As for Bill Clinton, he learned from Carter being voted out and Reagan and Bush winning. He played the position he had to play.
