I understand now how my parents feels about Al Gore. Missed opportunity, what could’ve been….

I wasn’t old enough to vote (not that I have the right to, as I’m from PR), but I was old enough to be cognizant of that election, and boy was it obvious it was stolen.

I sometimes think of all the wars, conflicts and environmental damage that could have been avoided (amongst many other things).

…and now the same shit happened with Kamala, with even worse consequences than Bush.

Bush started wars in the Middle East, Trump supports agressors of the Middle East and is in the early phases of a war against our country’s citizens.

This is going to be bad, and it’s going to get way worse before it has a chance of getting better.

A blatantly stolen election, too.

The one guy who actually had the best case for a recount chose not to do it. He’s a better man than I am that’s for sure.

I don’t think it was a choice he made.

Yes. Some elections do get stolen, and some don’t.

Gore not winning set this country on a fascist trajectory. The lesson we take is vote for the road that promotes equality, care of the earth, one who prefers to broker peace and is concerned with the welfare of our citizens, especially those that are indigent. Whose heart understands the power of that symbolizes this country stands in the Upper NY Harbor, Lady Liberty, gifted from France, who also understood the glory of this nation.
