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.

Yes! I voted for Al Gore! I remember being very upset that GW won and at the time cursed the electoral college. I’ve learned since then. But things were different. People were not as insane and emotional. Even though Gore lost in the Supreme Court, I went about my business. I hated GW and still think he was an awful president. But yes, I remember 2000.
Yeah I agree. Bush is a loser. I don't like Gore much either though. Do you remember them talking about a his transition team like they are with Biden? Or was Gore too held up in court to think about that?
No. I don’t remember that. However, I wasn’t a political junkie like I am now. I admit I was a fairly low information voter back then.
You gotta start somewhere right? Thanks for sharing.
