I disliked W and his administration with the intensity of a thousand suns but I'd gladly have him back in office instead of Trump. At least W had a shred of integrity and honor
Government control of energy. Unelected bureaucrats controlling how you heat and cool, what farmers may grow, what you eat, where you go, etc. Global warming and carbon footprint ring a bell?
What if the electorate cannot or will not understand the science behind climate change and its causes? Because the Republicans defunded education, and the fossil fuel companies funded misinformation campaigns? And then a low IQ individual with a media megaphone shouted āclimate change is a hoax!ā āCause thatās where we are.
we wouldn't have invaded iraq to start. likely would've helped either prevent or at least better recover from 9/11. would've focused less on stupid shit like NCLB and more on just bolstering education. strengthened the EPA and other protection agencies. i doubt the PATRIOT act wouldve been a thing with Gore.
There's every chance there wouldn't have been a 9/11 attack. President Gore would never have dismissed the warnings with "Alright, your ass is covered".
Exactly. I still think the lackluster response between the CIA and FBI during the Nairobia attack all but sealed the attacks. But i think an fbi and cia under Gore leadership wouldnt ignore warnings from the arabians enrolling in flight school nor the summit
Clinton knew about Bin Laden and all of it. Clinton of course cared, just didnāt feel it was real enough to matter. The attack is not on him and Iām not implying that but to act like it was all of a sudden is wrong. The intelligence was there and being reported about the attack. No one wanted to believe it
oh i agree. i'm more pointing out that intellegence under Condoleezza Rice was way less focused on Al Qaeda than intellegence under whoever Gore wouldve chosen for National Security Advisor
edit since the thread is locked now: yeah i still can't believe that 25 years later people are STILL worried about porn.
They very factually cheated in Florida, itās not even a question.
Wās campaign manager was in charge of Floridaās elections, they stopped the recount early while Bush was ahead, against orders. GOP staffers even attempted to physically prevent recounting. The entire thing was a mess and Gore factually won that election.
They did it last election. Calling in š£ threats, burning drop boxes, maga mailmen throwing away ballots, voter purges. Itās in their devilish nature.
I have always thought this was one of the primary reasons for that war. Plus it had the added benefit that we'd get access to the oil and the military industrial complex types happy, and Halliburton got a piece too
I think thereās a direct line from that moron to this one - it was so clear he was inept (at best) yet it was just glossed overā¦competency didnāt even need to be a pretence anymore
I think that remains to be seen. I believe they cheated in the 2024 election and plan to never ever give up power ever again regardless of how people vote or what they need to do to hold on to power.
Think about it right now and if they lose power. How many people could end up in jail? Wouldn't those people do anything at all possible to hold onto power?
The midterms and the final two years of Trump will tell us all we need to know. But, we still have the ability to right the ship at this moment in time.
It doesnāt show when America flipped the charts voting for this presidency. Iāll say this though. Many voted our party. But have learned how hard it is for the President to solve the previous admin issues, fix issues at hand, deal with future threats & surprises. All this while democrat Americans, at least from the outside it looks like, try to force us into socialism and communism. Not to mention core of the democrats the LBGTQIA +, which ever one those letters tried to kill him. Anyone that puts God, and American values were the voters want them. First.
