"the Gore campaign failed to win enough votes in 2000"
Not true, Gore got the votes, they just weren't allowed to be counted.
A full counting, just EIGHT days after the Bush inauguration, showed Gore was the rightful winner.

So much talk about the fear of the election being stolen, yet we're weirdly eager to forget that it already happened less than 30 years ago.
Trump stealing the election by, say, Florida not counting black votes, would not be an unprecedented event in modern American history.
Yeah the supreme Court decided the election the last time around when it was close, within my lifetime! I was saying many months ago that if the Democrats are serious about wanting to win they should really be packing that thing well before the election. 🤦♀️
That was in my life time and the first presidential election I was eligible to vote in yet it was stolen and left me feeling like my vote don't count. That I didn't vote again until the 2016 premiere. I voted for Sanders. Well going vote Harris please America I was only 20 when they stole election from Gore, don't let them do it again. Because if Trump wins democracy and the right to vote will be dead.
This election is so 2016 flavored that it's killing me inside. I don't think I'm gonna watch the election night coverage even.
Being outraged isn't an excuse to vote against your own interests and the interests of your community.
