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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago That's like blaming January 6th on Bernie. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago You're implying the green voters would have voted for Al Gore. permalink fedilink source parent [–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago Al gore won that election. permalink fedilink source parent
