When all the votes were actually counted Al Gore had won the election in 2000. The Supreme Court basically stopped the Florida count and gave Bush the presidency. Had Gore won we would have started a needed war against climate change and not a tragic war against Saddam Hussein.

We need climate action NOW. We cannot rely on vague pledges with distant deadlines. We need concrete plans to phase out fossil fuels in the near term. As the scientists at the @IPCC_CH make clear: there is no time left to waste.

Al gore said NYC would be under water by now. The last thing we need is more elite scumbags controlling how we live.

Why don't you take your so called war against climate change wish straight to Xi Jinping and see if you come out alive. Address the real culprits. I'll pay your airfare.

We have a dilemma in policy. On the one hand we insist on housing as a right. What material do we use to build the housing? Open borders require a new city of 200k per month. Roads, schools, transportation, stores, food. Will these be denied? Energy rich requirements keep growing

Sadly, emblematic of so many things in the US... The political legacy just may be failed republic, tried, but meh... Self destructed instead.

Bush stole both elections and so did Biden.

No, it was entirely Ralph Nader's fault, according to mainstream Democrats.

It's worth noting that 2 future Supreme Court justices helped steal 2000.

We came so close to scotus pulling the same 2000 dirty tricks to give us trump2.

Al Gore conceded instead of fighting for the re-count - his fault too
