    Nope. I’d rather have any Democrat in office than more Republicans. Your logic is how Gore lost the 2000 election. The Green votes for Nader were the decider. Gore wanted to address climate change 25 years ago.

      idk, Trump has done more to mobilize the left these last couple cycles than the last…30 years.

      Instead of actually giving voters what they want, Democrats made being “the lesser of two evils” their main campaign strategy and it could only work for so long until people got numb to it which is happening.

      I don’t think you understood my point. Your comment about preferring a Democrat over a republican in office doesn’t make any sense.

      Didn’t Gore win the 2000 election ? The Bush clan stole it and apparently the US just didn’t care much.

        Gore lost the legal cases. A few more votes in Florida from Democrats who didn’t apply purity tests and voted Green instead and the world would be a much better place.

          Gore lost because instead of talking about his actual passions and knowledge, he listened to his advisors and repeated their focus group tested talking points. He came across as not very sincere & charismatic as wet cardboard and lost. Alot of people who never supported him changed their opinion of him after seeing An Inconvenient Truth.
