Imagine if Gore won.

*if Gore's win wasn't stolen by the supreme court

I seethed for months over this. Months.

Boomers wonder why the younger generations seem to 'hate america'.

Well it's because of bullshit like this. Repugnicunts have hijacked democracy and its roots are in Nixon and we have been forced to grow up under the lie that we are free and represented by our politicians.

Democrats did exactly the same to Bernie in 2016. Leaked emails confirm that the DNC actively conspired against Sanders.

And then Hillary was such a bad candidate that Trump won. Thank the DNC for that one.

Similar deal here in the UK with Corbyn, except he was already leader of the party. Destroyed by his own kind. Most politicians accept that the only way into office is to gain control of an existing party. I'm glad for Americans that Bernie Sanders still seems to have some mainstream credibility. Jeremy Corbyn was attacked so hard from all vested interests on all fronts that he has almost become a tragic meme, despite how exceptional he was/is as a figurehead.

My parents tried to explain to me why Bush won instead of Gore, and my little kid brain was like "but he won though"

That was my first ever presidential election vote, I was so excited to see someone with legit interest in saving the environment, full of hope for a new future. I remember how giddy it felt to step into the booth.

I lived in florida then, the entire state was thrown out by a legit conspiracy.

And it's jaded my vision of politics ever since.

Yeah, it's a big reason why I think civil disobedience is making a comeback.

People are realizing the government doesn't exist for them; it exists for the ruling class. That's not how it should work and we don't have to play by the rules they make for us.

Full of invasive species, Florida man, woman, fucking craziness all around with zero hope. I'm glad i wasn't born there.
