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.

But that’s the thing, Gore already consistently gets the lionshare of the blame and generally has become considered too toxic a political figure to dare be seen with, save the blip of good will he got with An Inconvenient Truth that was jiujitsued to make him even more toxic than ever.

Even among us, the Dems’ general defensive crouch, and willingness to run away from Clinton, combined with the toxic, adversarial media atmosphere, doesn’t get enough blame compared to Gore himself. And it’s the same sort of willingness to find the one single scapegoat for the election that I see in the continued rush to vilify Hillary for 2016 even among the left.
