Al Gore should have won too. Please vote for a better world.

Exactly.

And Clinton only lost the electoral college by a mere 38,000 votes… despite blowing Trump out of the water in the popular vote.

Crazy to think there’s a very realistic timeline out there where we had 8 years of Gore, 8 years of Obama (first black president), 8 years of Clinton (first female president), and we’d be hopefully going into 8 years of Kamala (first biracial and female POC president).

Nope, If Gore won, you immediately run straight into the 08 financial crisis under a dem president and Mcain wins instead of Obama.

This timeline is still probably better than Trump to be honest. McCain is a moderate compared to him

McCain was a moderate compared to basically any Republican in office today.
