Can’t possibly be the case that a President who never won the popular vote and never polled above 50% approval during his entire term lost an election in which almost every poll leading up to it predicted his loss.

I'd love to see these so called patriots champion installing Gore for a bonus term since he was actually shafted by a mismanaged election. Nobody went looney bin insane over that.

  To be fair: plenty of people went a little bit insane in 2000. But the elected leaders of both parties behaved like the adults in the room and the democracy survived just fine. For two more decades, anyway. Honestly the jury is still out on where we go from here.

    Did 2000 insanity have anything on 2020? IDK, tough call. Agreed on adults that somehow are now missing or more concerned with their Twitter feeds than their responsibilities.

Actually the same people, or at least political faction, did. Over the idea of looking into and correcting the mistakes, of course, not over the idea of letting a potentially mismanaged election stand without further review. Google “Brooks Brothers riot” for one example.
