If you were old enough to remember the 2000 election, how similar is this compared to 2020? A lot of people are drawing comparisons between these two elections. I'm a Zoomer so I wasn't old enough to experience it. It is to my understanding that the msm incorrectly announced Gore to be the winner. Of course the circumstances are much different in 2020 but was the media talking about Gore's transition team like they are with Biden? Were they talking about who Gore's cabinet appointees were going to be? Were they talking about stupid shit like his dogs being the newest pets to the White House? Or was Gore preoccupied with court the whole time? Was everyone calling him "President-Elect?" Ultimately, I believe that Trump will prevail but I am just curious if the msm was playing the same games back then too. I tried to research this before posting but I can't find any answers.

It was big news and held the country captive. But this is SO much bigger. I wonder what autistic pedes would have dug up had the internet been as big as it is now back then.
