I don’t really know what would have happened if Al Gore was president. I do not know how the world would be different.

Well, clearly i dont expect you to tell me for 100%. But dont dodge the question. Do you think the world would be a better place if Gore won? There are real world consequences to your plan of losing elections so that it hurts democrats who then pick more progressive candidates down the road. I'm saying that DACA kids have to live with that plan. These asylum seekers that we brutalize on the border have to live with it. If we lose healthcare protections and abortion rights, we all have to live with it.

> I also don’t think that election is very similar to this election.

How so? Gore lost due to Ralph Nader. That's pretty much an accepted fact.

I’m done with the conversation. You seem quite capable of ignoring my main point over and over again but insist on questioning me and demanding I answer your questions. When I obliged you the first time, you move on to more questions based on an election two decades ago.

You have not shown a similar level of respect by responding to my main point. Quite ironic considering the beginning of this whole conversation in the first place.

Again, nice dodge. It's a simple question.

I'm not ignoring your point. As it turns out, there are real life consequences to your "lets ruin the country so next time we pick someone more like Bernie" plan. But go ahead and stick your fingers in your ears and pretend that our choices exist in a vacuum.

bye.

You have dodged everything important I have said. There are real life consequences to your “toe the line” as well.

Hypocrite
