I’m still triggered by the halted recount, which simultaneously delegitimized the Supreme Court. Out of ten million votes cast in Florida, 537 divided the candidates? And there was no official recount. The largest scandal until Trump II of my lifetime.
You would think that a candidate who won the popular vote by nearly 500k votes would deserve a proper counting. He conceded to save a deeply self marginalized institution. Which as we now see has been weaponized by the very people Gore’s concession protected. There was no grace given for that sacrifice.
You sound much like my son after attending one of his presentations at one of his workshops on global warming in Germany (or Rome). It is just so sad and frustrating!
thank you. I should have recalled the facts you report. 537! and they stopped counting and had no recount. I wish I had mentioned that but I am glad you are doing that now.
Your word “continues” is the key for me. The entire reason I have been writing Democracy or Empire is to understand what went wrong and must not continue. Let’s stay on top of that word .

Good history lesson. Sad that it wasn’t learned and continues to rhyme in disturbing ways.
