That was the moment republicans realised their opponents lunch money was up for grabs without any resistance:francis:

Imagine if the roles were reversed, would republicans have put up such a meek effort at demanding recount:wow:

That "result" of that election paved the way for where we are right now

Gore fukked up distancing himself from Clinton more than anything. He thought people were upset over the Lewinsky scandal when in reality America didn’t care and Clinton had a high approval rating on his way out. He Didn’t allow him to campaign for Gore the way he should and it cost him. One of the first moments of Dems not understanding where the country was heading.

The governor of Florida being his fukking brother, and Democrats just rolled over and die like bytches, even though they had the votes, it was pathetic. And because of that, we got the complete destabilization of the Middle East thanks to W and Cheney


But Demic00ns still acting like these politicians are their saviors :mjlol:

It's because dem politicians know they benefit financially from republican policies

You're probably right.

To be fair to the Dems, politics was a little different back then. They probably thought win or lose they could "cross the aisle" and get a lot of shyt done
Also I think the fact Al Gore was essentially a meme back then contributed to the Dems just rolling over. "Al Gore invented the internet", him being clowned for caring about global warming, etc. Somehow Al Gore was viewed less seriously than GB Jr

The spinelessness of Demorats started way before Bush v. Gore. It started as far back as the Johnson Administration. Lyndon B., was the last Democratic leader that was unapologetic and he was ruthless. He wasn't looking to compromise with Dixiecrat fascists like these current group of weaklings, which is how he got his Great Society legislation passed. Southern people probably benefit the most from Great Society legislation, but their politicians that represent are like feudal English Lords that try to keep them backwards.

I can't disagree with this since I witnessed it with my own eyes

In terms of putting down the racist southerners, The compromise of 1877. The North withdrew Union troops from the South in order to get their guy in office.

This is when all that shyt started. Compromising.
