We lost 20 years because of Bush v Gore. It’s infuriating.
The supreme court decided that election along party lines.
The supreme court is now more conservative than they were back then.
More like Supreme Court Injustices, amirite?
More like supreme cunts. Are we right?
Maybe that’s what you’d call corrupt, partisan, bribe-ridden anti American pieces of shit… Guess I’d call them that too
There was also that time JFK and his brother tried to end the anti-science, anti-solar-thermal misinformation campaign funded by GE with actor Ronald Reagan as its face in 1962.
That worked out super well.
Good lord. Is there anything Reagan didn’t fuck up?
Well he managed to die
I can’t think of anything off hand.

Imagine a world where Gore won in 2000. It’s depressing to think about how different things could have gone.
“Now I get to save the world with deadly lasers instead of deadly slideshows!” -Al Gore (circa 3012)
In all seriousness, good for him (and us!) The fossil fuel industry had the chance to change their tune.
Better late than never, but I stopped considering him a leader on anything after he caved to Bush. I do appreciate that he’s tried to make up for his and his father’s choices in the past, but the time for him to make a stand was 23 years ago - he could have single-handedly changed the course of history had he been resolute in pursuing the Presidency.
He didn’t cave to bush, he could not have legally done anything. The supreme court has already decided so what was he supposed to do? Attempt a coup?
There are more than two options. Obviously.
