I looked at Gore’s congressional record in the years after the election. The guy is one of the most genuine public servants ever in federal office. He didn’t invent the Internet, but he did create a key piece of legislation that led to the Internet as we know it. Few other politicians at the time would have ever thought to bother.
I don’t know what his hypothetical presidency would have been like, exactly. Political pressures often force you to set aside idealism. That may not have allowed his post-election advocacy for global warming to be quite so prominent. What I do know is that we’d likely be in a better place as a nation if he had been in office.
or do you go back to 2000 with the “if Gore won”
IDK, I was there. Gore seemed like a pompous buffoon then, but he still had to be better than Mission Accomplished.
