    Think of how unreasonable leftists like us are. Did we really expect the poor old smol bean democrats to actually have done stuff in twenty five fucking years?

    Amen! The 2000 election was far most consequential than 2016 or 2024.

    With Gore there would have been a continuing budget surplus, no Great Recession, and no Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Additionally he was a futurist, who understood climate change and computer technology. A great loss for America.

    Plus potential* two SCOTUS justices

    *since they were in GWB’s second term.

    Edit - Damn it all to hell - I put this comment in the wrong thread!

      I love fantasizing about the alternative timeline where the dems weren’t spineless and fought bush’s coup successfully.
