2000 Presidential Election, Florida
GEORGE W. BUSH: 2,912,790 votes
AL GORE: 2,912,253 votes
RALPH GREEN PARTY NADER: 97,488 votes
That's where the Green Party gave us Bush, Cheney and the Neo-cons. Thanks for playing.
So, you're mad because your candidate wasn't good enough to win over that many votes, and so you blame the party they did vote for for being better?
Its a false logic to think you can just add those votes to the person you like because you think if they had their choice taken away they would agree with you.
There are literal people that raged violence against the poll workers and right wing lawyers that managed to convince a state to not do its duties and those people you can and should be mad at.
All Gore even dropped before he should have and was part of the argument used against him trying to get a recount because he wanted to be "respectful".
This answer is just easier blame cause they are easier to feel like you can win against them in a fight compared to the wider corruption.
That's like blaming January 6th on Bernie.
You're implying the green voters would have voted for Al Gore.
Al gore won that election.
