re: #492 Citizen K

Gore got fucked over by the centrist camp in the Dems pleading with him to distance himself from Clinton, egged on by a media who wanted to hang Clinton and impeachment around Gore’s neck, all the while disingenuously tarring him with some of the dumbest shit and promoting W with that ‘aw-shucks’ ‘compassionate conservatism’ hagiographic bullshit. Like, how much of the damage done to Clinton and Gore was via Dems who took the GOP’s bad faith BS at faith value and became very very ‘concerned’?

Maybe but Gore still should bear some responsibility by his choices. And back then he was an imo too cautious centrist. I don’t dislike the man or not appreciate his years of service but I think he should and could have been more bold.
