6. My problem is getting lumped in with the Gore haters as "we"

Even with the Nader interference, it felt like Gore was on the path to winning the recount until Scalia saw that coming, and stopped the count and threw it to Bush. So to me, the problem was more with a radical right wing activist SC justice making a partisan call, than the Nader factor for the ultimate loss.

And with 2020 shaping up to be the calamity it is, dredging up crap from 4 and 20 years ago is not going to help us this time around. If those 3rd party types are committed to political-social suicide by voting again for Stein or Trump, we're not going to change their minds at all at this point.

Seeing an illustration with Nader, Stein and Trump, and bad-mouthing Gore and Clinton just feels counter productive and set me off.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
