YES! That hit me hard. I can't believe that the majority didn't know how that works. Very sad indeed. A hole in our education 100%. TO many do not even know why our founders created the electoral college system. They have no idea that it was so big states can't boss around and pick on little states and chose every president. Kids don't know that today.
@@MattyDemello I completely agree and it is sad that people don't better understand that! Another thing to factor in is that there are some states that have an unfair number of electoral votes. For example California has over 50 electoral votes
Well the fact that before the 2000 election, it had been a long time since the winner lost the popular vote, and I want to say that most people assumed that the popular vote decided who won the presidency because most of previous presidents have won both the popular vote and electoral college. Again, most people focused on the popular vote and since previous elections proved their point, then why be curious about the electoral college? It's not until "it" happens that people begin to take notice haha.

What I remember, is for every televised debate between Gore and Bush, a different Al Gore would show up with a different personality. My guess is he was listening to his handlers too much, and a different personality would show up for every debate. Was very strange, and sad in a way. Maybe if he would have been himself, he would have won. At least Bush was consistent.
Bob is right. What he means is, it almost felt like there were 3 different people running in the 3 debates. In debate 1 he acted like if he was a judge and sited boring law policies that no one cared about. The 2nd debate he acted like a used car salesman and flip flopped on things he said during his 1st debate. In the 3rd debate he was VERY threatening towards bush. Like not letting Bush speak and then the iconic "him running up behind Bush to mock him" it was strange. I felt no one REALLY knew the real Al Gore by the end of the 3rd debate. He also campaigned on raising taxes, lowering the social security age "when it was already going broke" and more polices that weren't right.
Bob Smith However, Bush flip-flopped between promising to be tough on China and Iraq and promising to stop Clinton’s “nation-building” while Gore consistently advocated internationalism.
Being born in 1999, I had heard stories of the 2000 election, but had not really seen any footage of the aftermath. Now, after the 2016 election, its hard not to see the similarities between the two reactions afterwards: protests after the election and on inauguration day. Really interesting.
in 2016 liberal nutjobs committed arson/violence broke out because they were upset. In 2000 the same liberal nutjobs couldn't accept the election. Republicans NEVER EVER create a scene because they have respect&common sense.
@BastionIsMyFriend false fucker. Republicans always promote freedom. Dems want everyone to follow their own rules, and standards. And it doesn’t matter. A win is a win. You win more states... you win.

I thought this, and then she backed it up at the end of the video, but this really was the moment that political discourse in America died. The candidates remained cordial and respectable for 16 more years, but the rest of the political climate did not, and then the candidates got down in the mud with everyone else. If you look back at 1996 and many of the elections before it, the country largely moved on and accepted the winner. No one felt they had been cheated or wronged by the system, though this may have been because not many people knew about the system (they didn't know what the electoral college even was). America before this didn't need to know, since politics and voting were not the primary interest area of most Americans. Government did its job, and if it didn't then you voted for the other side. After this, though, and ESPECIALLY after 2016, politics, voting, and heavy topics in general have seeped into every facet of American life. Its in churches, in movies, on TV, all around you. There's no escaping it, and the more people look at it the more wronged they think they are.
Wow that's amazing people involved in voting did not even know about the electoral. Americans everybody needs to know the true meaning of freedom is free of dumb.
I remember being immediately turned off by George W Bush when I first laid eyes on him. It struck me that the major political parties don't even have to try, that it's a race to the bottom in terms of quality of their presidential candidates, because they just aren't challenged by any independents or third parties. They have a stranglehold over the entire political system and the minds of the electorate. When 2016 came along, I found myself thinking of the Simpsons episode with the aliens running against each other for president and taunting the crowd after Homer unmasked them, saying that they had no choice because it was a two-party system, and indeed one of them was elected.
I miss the way the news once was. There has always been inaccurate reporting and corruption in pockets of the media, but it wasn't as widespread. Why can't the news be unbiased again?
This makes me feel old. The internet was a very different place back then. The conspiracy types were few and far between and you rarely met one in real life. Now they're everywhere and it's not just the obvious shut-in types these days. There were few echo chambers outside of mIRC chat rooms and early message boards. Lots of comments from people who weren't old enough or weren't born when this happened echoing sentiments that weren't even on the table yet. Things like hating Muslims, instead of the known bad apples. Hating Mexicans, instead of the cartels and the corrupt Mexican governments. Bush's "holy war" pandering to his evangelical crowd is what started all this shit we see today, including ISIS.
Sorry, this shit started in the 60's. That's when the Viet Name war and the war on drugs divided the nation. It got worse in the 70's. That's when the "moral majority" hijacked the GOP. Not sure about the message boards in the 90's, I only read the tech boards. It was a good way to get references to white papers of new languages. Back then the best way to drive traffic to the sites I was developing was by using rings.
Registered Democrat here, no it wouldn't.... It would have meant the end of the democratic party. We would have had for president, a sell out corporate hack pretending to be a progressive for the next 8 years.
MpoweredAPE No it wouldn't. Look, the label 'progressive' is just bullshit and it's just a replacing word for social democrats/socialists within the Democratic Party. If Democratic Party actually becomes a full leftist socialist party in the near future then i might need to move parties again because I'm a centrist/moderate.
Actually, Gore was the Congressperson who pushed for funding for the establishment of the internet. He believed it was the future, and was correct. I remember when DARPAnet morphed into what became the internet, and the most common domain names were .edu. If any politician can take credit for the internet, it is Gore.
Due to the bad handling of the gulf war during regan and carter administration, even if lincoln had come back from the dead to be the president, 9/11 would have still happened
Now, THIS is supremely interesting and most definitely my exact lil' niche. I don't remember this at all as I was too young but I feel through watching this, alongside reading "What Happened" by Scott McClellan, I've been inserted into the very midst of this tumultuous election.
I wish that I grew up in a timeline where I was 14 and Al Gore became president instead. Then the elected president didn't focus our country's money into meaningless wars and destruction. Maybe the world wouldn't be so terrible right now. I grow old and it gets worse, the 90s lied.
It wouldn't have been much different. At that time in 2001 before the election. The terrorist was already planning out their 911 attacks. So that would've happened. Also under Clinton, we bombed Iraq 2 times during his time in office. THEN Al Gore was pushing the "Iraq has wmd's" BEFORE Bush even said that. Al Gore if anything criticized Bush for not being tough enough on Iraq. So we would've went to war with Iraq to. Nothing different would've happened. ALSO Gore was pushing for the SAME policies that caused the great recession. "giving fanny mae and Freddy Mac" MORE government home loan guarantees and backing that was going to fail later on.
I've been looking on TH-cam for years for Al Gore's "I'm Serial" debacle in the 2000 campaign. And I know I didn't dream it up. Being on the network morning shows. They gave him hell for days. And with the whole South Park Al Gore thing, there's an entire generation of kids who have no idea the origin of that famous phrase. Did Gore have professionals wipe the entire internet database of that clip?
As awful Bush was. Gore would've been WAY worse. During the election, I remember Gore criticizing Bush Sr. and Jr. for not being tough enough with Iraq. Gore PUSHED the "Iraq has wmd's" line before Bush was even in office. It didn't matter who won. We would've went to war with Iraq either say. Kinda sad. I really liked Bush when he ran but he ended up being the opposite of what he ran for. So far Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned for unlike Bush. Bush did an 180 on Conservatism values and policy. So far Trump has stayed true to his word, putting in conservative judges. Bush put in Judges who vote WAY more with the leftist judges. Bush picked his judges to be more center / left. That was NOT what I wanted from Bush. I wanted judges like Trump has put on.
I’m not trying to insult you or start an argument or debate with you or anything. Can you explain why you would want judges like the ones Trump picked?
Naw its cool. Good question. No worries. So conservatives "myself" believe in following the constitution to a T. in the way it was written. Liberal judges put their spin on the constitution and end up changing what our fathers meant. Its important for our rights that we have judges who do NOT look at what party elected them but to look at the constitution and judge based on that alone. For instance. If a constitutional right starts with "shall not" A conservative judge will say "obviously its, you can not" Liberal judges will try to change it and say "well shall not can mean shall if you want to or not" The liberal judges also stick together and vote for every democrat ruling. IF you look up the supreme courts records. You'll actually see conservatives judges voting all across the board. IF the dem judges are right on something, you'll see a few conservative judges agreeing and ruling with them. It happens a lot BUT what we never see is when the left wing judges vote with the conservatives.
@@MattyDemello The values with which the founder wrote the Constitution are not the same with which we possess today, even amongst those who view themselves most similarly to them. Granted, I do not think the Constitution's clearly established intent should be misinterpreted or affected in any sort of way, but at the end of the day do we serve the people or men long dead? It's interesting. Who knows what society will and will not value come 20 years. I think the fight will be contentious as ever between those favoring strict and loose interpretations of the Constitution.
2:22 - Putting my dislike for GWB aside, I have to admit that was pretty funny. I can see why a lot of people voted for him just for the simple fact that he had a charismatic personality, unlike Gore. It's a pity that he turned out to be such a big disappointment as POTUS.
I am here BEFORE everyone starts taunting Trump supporters after Biden becomes president for their delusional fantasies that Trump was somehow going to pull a Bush vs Gore to stay in power.
This will be the 20th anniversary of the Florida Recount/US Presidential Election this coming November. This controversial election changed presidential elections.
It was an election for the ages and I'm so glad I was there to witness it. First time voting in a presidential election. 2000 was a great yr for me! Gore2000 Bush2000
Gore would almost certainly have won a full statewide recount under the strictest chad standards-if, that is, the recount included the overvotes in the punch-card and optical counties. The whole debate over dimples was a needless drain of Gore’s legal and moral resources.
The first time I was able to vote due to my age -having grown up in Florida I voted in NC since I was attending college there but my dad called my dorm room cheering from my childhood home in FL and said "Yes! Gore won our state! Oh no ... they just said it was lost ..... I'll call you back ...." I still have a strong memory of slamming the wall phone down with my father's "Oh no ...." still in my ear.
I remember this all too well in fact very well I was praying and ask God who would win and he told Me Bush was the chosen one.And things didn’t look too well at all in fact I told my family about it many did not believe me. All I can say is God keeps his promise.No matter what I kept the faith and he won
This was an interesting watch. That was one surreal month across the pond. All my life I'd been conditioned to think of the US president as 'leader of the free world'... it was really odd to catch yourself in random moments thinking 'woah, there is still nobody driving the boat!'. Fast forward to 2018 and that seems like a pretty attractive state of affairs
Mrs Guinsburg was a brilliant mind, a living legend. During her long life, she's been through some hard stuff, but she never played anything down, she never wavered, she told the truth. She stood for human rights.The rights of all the American people. Regardless of who they are. In one word: She stood for justice. I guess that's what our president had in mind when he said truthfully:« She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not.»th-cam.com/video/24QKYig1prU/w-d-xo.html
welcome the start of the partisanship and the end of the great age of the supreme court; .I have herd time and time again that "it was the most disputed election; ever" thats just not true, but i doubt it was worse then Rutherford B. Hayes Vs Samuel Tilden. But it did start a divide that has magnified 10X today.
Al Gore and President 🇺🇸 George W Bush are both Highly intelligent and intellectual Individuals! Al Gore's Journey on the Climate Crisis has been an Amazing Achievement!
2000 election was an amazing contest. Both Bush and Gore were gentlemen. Hats of you sirs.. Now look what is happening in 2020. Two clowns fighting for presidency and the situation is getting dirtier day by day..

this is exactly why the media should shut up until everything is finalized it hurts both candidates dramatically no matter how you look at it no matter who you go for it's wrong to do this to anybody you don't bring up false hope only to tear it down
Yeah, the Clinton administration (with Gore) had the FBI attack the WTC in 93; Omar Salam got suspicious though and didn't put the bomb (the FBI gave him) in the right spot. Nevertheless, they're all puppets and the Office of Special Plans needed their "new Pearl Harbor" so it wouldn't have changed much. That is the _inconvenient truth_ yo.
Yes. 911 was already planned before the Election under Clinton's nose. In early 2001, the cia let the terrorist in "thinking they can track them and bust them" but the cia lost them and caused 911. After Osama bombed the trade center in 1993 "under Clinton" Our intel agents spotted Osama at a party in Afghanistan around 1998. They called the white house for the green light to take him out "before 911" and Clinton said "stand down" and didn't give the green light. The reason? Because the Monica Lewinsky trials where happening & the impeachment of Clinton. Clinton thought "IF the mission failed, it would be during a bad time" Clinton put his own selfish needs before keeping America safe and Osama got lost again. I've done a TON of research on this matter. We CAN'T kid ourselves and think "if Gore won, 911 wouldn't of happened" ALSO Iraq would've happened to. Gore was pushing the line of "Iraq has wmd's" during the campaign AND criticized Bush for being "not tough enough on Iraq"
Matt's Horsemanship gore wouldn thave invaded iraq, bush only did it to avenge daddy. Without bush, cheney, rumsfeld & co in the wh the iraq war would not have happened period.
after watching "The Man in the high castle" I wondered in an alternate history where Gore won Florida and Cheney retired and 9/11 never happened and the middle east is a relatively safe place to live in. No TSA pat downs, no NSA backups, no Homeland no-fly lists, no war on terror, no Guantanamo Bay, no Iraq invasion, no regime change, no Daeish, no crazy laws in Europe and the western world would still have civil liberties ahhhhhhh

Gore should have won this, America would have been so much better right now.
Registered Democrat here, no it wouldn't.... It would have meant the end of the democratic party. We would have had for president, a sell out corporate hack pretending to be a progressive for the next 8 years.
MpoweredAPE No it wouldn't. Look, the label 'progressive' is just bullshit and it's just a replacing word for social democrats/socialists within the Democratic Party. If Democratic Party actually becomes a full leftist socialist party in the near future then i might need to move parties again because I'm a centrist/moderate.
PJGSJ yes, Im 100% republican, hate democrats, but Gore was better than evil bush
@desterflan No war in Iraq or Afghanistan, no future collapse of the economy.
@@John-tr6of all economies go in highs and lows
1:58 really? I wonder how he could not translate it into the cameras.
Al Gore invented the internet
Actually, Gore was the Congressperson who pushed for funding for the establishment of the internet. He believed it was the future, and was correct. I remember when DARPAnet morphed into what became the internet, and the most common domain names were .edu. If any politician can take credit for the internet, it is Gore.
The Military the dark net.
Tim Berners-Lee did.
jrwhite21 Gore didn’t actually say that. The media twisted Gore’s words to make it sound like he said that.
Due to the bad handling of the gulf war during regan and carter administration, even if lincoln had come back from the dead to be the president, 9/11 would have still happened
It did. In 1993. Dummy.
You do know they bombed the World Trade Center prior to flying planes in to them..
No. Bush allowed it to happen, he literally got a briefing titled ”BIN LADIN DETERMINED TO STRIKE US”
Now, THIS is supremely interesting and most definitely my exact lil' niche. I don't remember this at all as I was too young but I feel through watching this, alongside reading "What Happened" by Scott McClellan, I've been inserted into the very midst of this tumultuous election.
I wish that I grew up in a timeline where I was 14 and Al Gore became president instead. Then the elected president didn't focus our country's money into meaningless wars and destruction. Maybe the world wouldn't be so terrible right now. I grow old and it gets worse, the 90s lied.
I love how THIS is covered by CNN and yet today CNN says it’s impossible to ever happen
Everyone in the comment section is watching this video on November 4th
I was about 10 and knew I wanted A.G to win.
I was 17 and I wanted to vote badly! I was in my room watching tv anxiously but ended up going to bed before the results.
On the day of the recount or on the election day?
I was 4 and dont remember
Exact same just imagine how different history would be.
It wouldn't have been much different. At that time in 2001 before the election. The terrorist was already planning out their 911 attacks. So that would've happened. Also under Clinton, we bombed Iraq 2 times during his time in office. THEN Al Gore was pushing the "Iraq has wmd's" BEFORE Bush even said that. Al Gore if anything criticized Bush for not being tough enough on Iraq. So we would've went to war with Iraq to. Nothing different would've happened. ALSO Gore was pushing for the SAME policies that caused the great recession. "giving fanny mae and Freddy Mac" MORE government home loan guarantees and backing that was going to fail later on.
Well if the trust was rebuilt it has been blown to hell in 2020.
I've been looking on TH-cam for years for Al Gore's "I'm Serial" debacle in the 2000 campaign. And I know I didn't dream it up. Being on the network morning shows. They gave him hell for days. And with the whole South Park Al Gore thing, there's an entire generation of kids who have no idea the origin of that famous phrase. Did Gore have professionals wipe the entire internet database of that clip?
Looks like it's happening again!!! Trump 2020
Nah
Just here getting myself ready for next Tuesday lol
Yeah me too
I think both of those candidates would have made a bad presidency but that was definitely an al gore win
As awful Bush was. Gore would've been WAY worse. During the election, I remember Gore criticizing Bush Sr. and Jr. for not being tough enough with Iraq. Gore PUSHED the "Iraq has wmd's" line before Bush was even in office. It didn't matter who won. We would've went to war with Iraq either say. Kinda sad. I really liked Bush when he ran but he ended up being the opposite of what he ran for. So far Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned for unlike Bush. Bush did an 180 on Conservatism values and policy. So far Trump has stayed true to his word, putting in conservative judges. Bush put in Judges who vote WAY more with the leftist judges. Bush picked his judges to be more center / left. That was NOT what I wanted from Bush. I wanted judges like Trump has put on.
I’m not trying to insult you or start an argument or debate with you or anything. Can you explain why you would want judges like the ones Trump picked?
Naw its cool. Good question. No worries. So conservatives "myself" believe in following the constitution to a T. in the way it was written. Liberal judges put their spin on the constitution and end up changing what our fathers meant. Its important for our rights that we have judges who do NOT look at what party elected them but to look at the constitution and judge based on that alone. For instance. If a constitutional right starts with "shall not" A conservative judge will say "obviously its, you can not" Liberal judges will try to change it and say "well shall not can mean shall if you want to or not" The liberal judges also stick together and vote for every democrat ruling. IF you look up the supreme courts records. You'll actually see conservatives judges voting all across the board. IF the dem judges are right on something, you'll see a few conservative judges agreeing and ruling with them. It happens a lot BUT what we never see is when the left wing judges vote with the conservatives.
Matt's Horsemanship I don’t know anything about the records of any judges but I see what you mean.
@Lockjaw at the end of the day all our founders wanted real freedom and fought for it. The ones who didn't want that are not on my team.
@@MattyDemello The values with which the founder wrote the Constitution are not the same with which we possess today, even amongst those who view themselves most similarly to them. Granted, I do not think the Constitution's clearly established intent should be misinterpreted or affected in any sort of way, but at the end of the day do we serve the people or men long dead? It's interesting. Who knows what society will and will not value come 20 years. I think the fight will be contentious as ever between those favoring strict and loose interpretations of the Constitution.
If only Al Gore was elected President, it would spare us all the stories of "global warming"
Eliyahu 88 No thanks. Could you imagine all the regulations and extra taxes? We would be riding bicycles and living in straw huts.
EchoVR the meaning is that Al Gore is looking for an advertisement
Eliyahu 1988 Al Gore reminding me of what you currently see in Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Robert O’Rourke concerning the ‘Green New Deal’.
Eliyahu 1988 the US would be Russia now
@EchoVR That's sad.
2:22 - Putting my dislike for GWB aside, I have to admit that was pretty funny. I can see why a lot of people voted for him just for the simple fact that he had a charismatic personality, unlike Gore. It's a pity that he turned out to be such a big disappointment as POTUS.
I am here BEFORE everyone starts taunting Trump supporters after Biden becomes president for their delusional fantasies that Trump was somehow going to pull a Bush vs Gore to stay in power.
The aftermath protests of the 2000 election is how I feel after this last election
And that is the difference between a man accepting defeat and a reality star!! ENDED WITH GRACE!!
wonder what they think of 2020
This will be the 20th anniversary of the Florida Recount/US Presidential Election this coming November. This controversial election changed presidential elections.
It was an election for the ages and I'm so glad I was there to witness it. First time voting in a presidential election. 2000 was a great yr for me! Gore2000 Bush2000
Who else is here the day after Election day
Gore would almost certainly have won a full statewide recount under the strictest chad standards-if, that is, the recount included the overvotes in the punch-card and optical counties. The whole debate over dimples was a needless drain of Gore’s legal and moral resources.
Al Gore was so hot
Wow compare the two candidates this year to Bush and Gore and its not even close.
Looks like that one guy in 0:39 took some inspiration from that year hmmmm
Trump wasn't there, trump looked younger lmao, and had darker hair
Trump wouldn't be down there with the crowd, he'd be banging some hooker in his penthouse watching it on HD.
Bush had a great sense of humor i remember how SNL used to make jokes about him every Saturday night
The beginning of the early 2000s
A Thought.. If gore had win, would we still have the 9/11???? Hmmm
We might still have suffered 9/11. But not the stupid Iraq war. Why we attacked Iraq for something Saudis did has always baffled me.
@@deborahfreedman333 the war would have still happened are you that ignorant congress declares war!
Everything would have gone down the same. The difference is who would have a problem with it.
@@deborahfreedman333 There would be no 9/11
Markshi Beblue Yes, because the Deep State was still there and would have forced it to happen anyway.
The first time I was able to vote due to my age -having grown up in Florida I voted in NC since I was attending college there but my dad called my dorm room cheering from my childhood home in FL and said "Yes! Gore won our state! Oh no ... they just said it was lost ..... I'll call you back ...."
I still have a strong memory of slamming the wall phone down with my father's "Oh no ...." still in my ear.
It’s crazy what a great man Joe Lieberman is and what a terrible person Gore is... and yet they were on the same ticket
Did anyone else notice Trump in the crowd at 0:39 in the video?
is that really him lol
Wow nice catch!!! Huge things going to happen
Wow he looks nothing like the other pictures of him from that time.
Good job, Dr. Bright.
I remember when Al Gore walked over to President Bush as he was talking. Pres. Bush's mother said "I thought he was going to hit George".
I love it!
I remember this all too well in fact very well I was praying and ask God who would win and he told Me Bush was the chosen one.And things didn’t look too well at all in fact I told my family about it many did not believe me. All I can say is God keeps his promise.No matter what I kept the faith and he won
When despite of everything, we had politics..unlike what we are experiencing right now
I thoroughly hope that things are this bad in 2024.
Why black&white photos?...
alex silent great contrast
Nikolai Collushnikov Oh, yes, I remember now. Also condoms were made out of wood back then...
20 years ago today Bush v Gore was decided
This was an interesting watch. That was one surreal month across the pond. All my life I'd been conditioned to think of the US president as 'leader of the free world'... it was really odd to catch yourself in random moments thinking 'woah, there is still nobody driving the boat!'. Fast forward to 2018 and that seems like a pretty attractive state of affairs
what the hell? gore and bush watch TV that is from 1960s??? i remember i had a TV that was 4 times bigger than what they have!
Weird flex but okay.
People didn't give a shit about tv size in 1999-2000 everyone had a big box 20-24" tv
Superb video!!!
Mrs Guinsburg was a brilliant mind, a living legend. During her long life, she's been through some hard stuff, but she never played anything down, she never wavered, she told the truth. She stood for human rights.The rights of all the American people. Regardless of who they are. In one word: She stood for justice. I guess that's what our president had in mind when he said truthfully:« She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not.»th-cam.com/video/24QKYig1prU/w-d-xo.html
I legit thought that was Ozzy Osbourne at 1:08
What if Al Gore became president? 🤔🧐 I was 5 in 2000
9-11 was still ahead. Who knows?
“That was gonna happen in this country, that happens in other countries”
2020: hahahahahha
Gore should of won. George Bush was pure awful
Gore wouldn't have been any better
Bush was not awful. He's perfectly fine, you know.
welcome the start of the partisanship and the end of the great age of the supreme court; .I have herd time and time again that "it was the most disputed election; ever" thats just not true, but i doubt it was worse then Rutherford B. Hayes Vs Samuel Tilden. But it did start a divide that has magnified 10X today.
Al Gore and President 🇺🇸 George W Bush are both Highly intelligent and intellectual Individuals! Al Gore's Journey on the Climate Crisis has been an Amazing Achievement!
2000 election was an amazing contest. Both Bush and Gore were gentlemen. Hats of you sirs.. Now look what is happening in 2020. Two clowns fighting for presidency and the situation is getting dirtier day by day..
Gore 2024
He who makes more noise wins
Two things:
- Gore didn’t win his home state of Tennessee.
- checkout the vote margin in New Mexico. Amazingly close!
Ok I guess why Gore has lost.. he is Jewish, that’s why but nobody will acknowledge that publicly !
My favorite is from 2016; Trump vs. Hilarry. Any pictures of Hitlery chugging vodka the night she lost?
Skull Duggery - Why do Libtards focus on gay sex so much? All you morons talk about is who and how everyone else (but you) is fucking something or someone else. Libs are the fuckin rejects of society. Trasgender, pedophile, purple haired freaks!
+Mystic Madman Guess because Conservafucks are always caught in the act. Gay folk do not bother me. 2 of the Heroes of Flight 93 were gay men from San Francisco. It is Conservafucks who would prefer Timothy McVeighs in the military. Idiot!
December 13 2007: Al Gore is awarded Nobel peace prize.
2000 was 2020
this is exactly why the media should shut up until everything is finalized it hurts both candidates dramatically no matter how you look at it no matter who you go for it's wrong to do this to anybody you don't bring up false hope only to tear it down
Gores main goal was to get rid of man bear pig Just a reminder
Imagine if Gore won. Imagine, daydream, and weep bc we never got that.
Would 911 still have happened?
Yeah, the Clinton administration (with Gore) had the FBI attack the WTC in 93; Omar Salam got suspicious though and didn't put the bomb (the FBI gave him) in the right spot. Nevertheless, they're all puppets and the Office of Special Plans needed their "new Pearl Harbor" so it wouldn't have changed much. That is the _inconvenient truth_ yo.
Yep
Yes. 911 was already planned before the Election under Clinton's nose. In early 2001, the cia let the terrorist in "thinking they can track them and bust them" but the cia lost them and caused 911. After Osama bombed the trade center in 1993 "under Clinton" Our intel agents spotted Osama at a party in Afghanistan around 1998. They called the white house for the green light to take him out "before 911" and Clinton said "stand down" and didn't give the green light. The reason? Because the Monica Lewinsky trials where happening & the impeachment of Clinton. Clinton thought "IF the mission failed, it would be during a bad time" Clinton put his own selfish needs before keeping America safe and Osama got lost again. I've done a TON of research on this matter. We CAN'T kid ourselves and think "if Gore won, 911 wouldn't of happened" ALSO Iraq would've happened to. Gore was pushing the line of "Iraq has wmd's" during the campaign AND criticized Bush for being "not tough enough on Iraq"
Yes
Matt's Horsemanship gore wouldn thave invaded iraq, bush only did it to avenge daddy. Without bush, cheney, rumsfeld & co in the wh the iraq war would not have happened period.
after watching "The Man in the high castle" I wondered in an alternate history where Gore won Florida and Cheney retired and 9/11 never happened and the middle east is a relatively safe place to live in. No TSA pat downs, no NSA backups, no Homeland no-fly lists, no war on terror, no Guantanamo Bay, no Iraq invasion, no regime change, no Daeish, no crazy laws in Europe and the western world would still have civil liberties ahhhhhhh
i strongly wish the western world would still have civil liberties too, but 9/11 didn't depend on who has become a president
@@soronik cheney gave the orders...bush was just the backseat passenger, plus bush was bin laden's buddy from the past
Gore pushed for war with iraq during the debates
They called the election for Gore and then pulled it back. Gore won.
All these elections wow I'm thrilled to know I've missed everything, beautiful. I need him healthy
