    The supreme court ending any ballot recount and investigation into corruption in Florida during the 2000 presidential election. Gore won that one by a hair and Bush only took office because Florida threw out ballots to steal the election and the supreme court rubber stamped it. Any and all optimism I had for democracy in the US died that day and it’s weird to me that we just sort of shrugged and ignored it.

      I was too young to vote but I remember asking my dad if we were going to get into a civil war. “Democrats don’t have the guts”
