    Uhm, do you need a reminder that Bush was chosen by the Supreme Court, who essentially told them to stop the count?

    Do you need a reminder that three current Supreme Court Justices worked on that legal case to hand the victory to Bush, and somehow very conveniently they all later were confirmed as Justices?

    Like how the fuck are they supposed to have his back when the Supreme Court was taking the side of the Bush team in regards to the hanging chads debacle? What were they supposed to do? Just ignore the ruling, finish the count, and do what Trump is doing now? Lawfare it to hell and back? It was already at the Supreme Court, I’m really failing to understand what the party could have done to “have his back.”

      The Republicans stole an election, yes the Dems should have engaged in as much “lawfare” as necessary to prevent them from stealing an election.

      It only looks stupid when Donald Trump does it because the kind of large-scale election fraud he is claiming is the kinda conspiracy only an insane person could believe. Gore had the votes, the Dems should never have stopped pushing for the full recount.
