      Al Gore’s loss happened when I was in high school. I couldn’t (or if I could I didn’t know I could) vote at that time, but I distinctly remember hoping for Gore even though I thought Bush had a cooler name (Middle school. Priorities were not great lol)

      This is the first I’ve heard about WHY Gore lost. Never looked it up.

      So thank you for the small history lesson.

        haha, yeah for sure.

        it’s an absolutely crazy story, probably the first time I was like wait, the Supreme Court can Just do whatever they want, including change the result of the presidential election?

        Why would they do that?

        and then 20 years of civil rights being stripped away by the Supreme Court happened and it became undeniable that the SC were a conservative tool rather than a balanced judicial body.

        You are right. Al Gore even conceded the election early because the thought that was more polite and proper then realized and tried to do take-backsies.

        But you also need a bit of a chill pill. Cause to a degree you are just throwing shit everywhere now. Don’t go making statements about others in here, aim for what’s true.

            And I’m suggesting thinking you can blame teenagers and think that they are group for you to look down on does nothing and does not help with bringing more people to your side and is going to be isolating action.

            It’s not about tone it’s about pointless line drawing that isn’t productive. But whatever.

              It’s clear that the sheep are young and have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about and are just repeating tired propaganda. I lived it.

                  People who mindlessly repeat propaganda were never gonna be on my side to begin with. Their brains are mush.
