When he was 'elected' Texas guv, that is when I finally made the decision to leave the state. I knew that if a highly qualified, good female leader like Ann Richards could be "beaten" by the good ole boy network with a moron like that, we were going down. (Then he followed me and became POTUS.)

He only got that job because of his father’s name. Yet another example of people just voting based on name recognition. He would have lost the Presidential election had it not been for flawed ballots in FL, the SC and fucking Ralph Nader. Look at how badly those ballots were designed. πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

Correct. His daddy's name was how he got the governorship, then presidency. Gore got screwed on so many levels. But another moment when a Dem should have fought back but felt like they had to be the better person "for the sake of the country." Whenever we do that, it gives permission. Needs to stop.

100% correct! Going forward, I am only supporting Democrats that actually have a backbone and know how to fight the good fight. While they were always taking the high ground, our Democracy was being dismantled piece by piece by ruthless thugs.
