Every time I see Al Gore I keep thinking what the world would be like if he was President especially after 9/11. With his environmental focus and the unlimited political capital we could have been off fossil fuels decades ago. What a waste
We probably would have been in and out of Afghanistan at Gulf War speed, Bin Laden got into Pakistan because of an operation Bush botched because he wanted to set the Northern Alliance government up as the ones who got the guy. With such a shorter time between getting there and getting the guy, Gore would probably just shrug, deal with anyone from the Taliban they caught on the way, and pull the troops out again.
Never instituting NCLB would vastly improve the quality of education over time, although simply not having done anything would mean not getting any credit for that.
Then again, Gore might have never gone to Afghanistan either, because if he won, he’d have probably paid attention to the “imminent attack” report and caught the September 11th attackers before they pulled it off. So the entire post 9/11 surveillance apparatus wouldn’t have happened, the war on terror wouldn’t have happened, Bin Laden would be a historical footnote, and Gore would have presided entirely as a peacetime leader.
So of the last 2 republican presidents, one successfully stole the election, and the other led a coup in an attempt to steal it. Not a great track record for the last few decades.
- Nixon - election tampering (Watergate)
- Reagan - election tampering (Iran Contra)
- Bush Sr - probably legally elected, just used super racist ads
- Bush jr - coup
- Trump - election tampering and attempted coup
Of the last 5 Republicans, only one was legally elected.
Oh those hanging chads…and nepotism
And the Supreme Court. Don’t forget about them
There’s a history of what happens to prominent people that stand up to corporations … especially those that do so successfully.
They either politically die from some weird either invented or inflated controversy.
Or they just conveniently die.
I hope Gore can do something but powerful psychopathic people have a habit of doing psychopathic things.
He politicaly died years ago. Doesn’t mean he is wrong.
Every time I see Al now, I read it AI. Is “AI Gore” already a genre of horror?
It’s that kind of attitude that will see him as First Emperor of the Moon.
He’s gotta conquer that mighty moon worm first.
Messages like this would get more traction if they were not announced by devided political figures. At least it seems that way
We have had scientist say this for decades and they are certainly not devided political figures. That did not get too much traction. Al Gore is saying the same stuff certainly gets traction on one site of the isle.
