Im a little to young to remember what went down with this election...
But how exactly did bush win? People say it was rigged right?
Itll make a great movie in 50 years when everyone involved in the cover up is dead
It was "hanging chad" shit.
>>70767932
in 50 years we wont have movies.

FTFY. Realtalk though, I voted for Bush, and it makes me uncomfortable that the Supreme Court can decide elections.
>>70768836
Too*
Yes my phone did that. I do know the difference between to and too though.
Thanks for being grammar nazi anyway i guess
im 30 years old OP and i cant tell you what the fuck happened with that election dude

It's all yours, my friend.
>>70767718
Rigged by the cuck himself
>>70767718
The election came down to Florida, and it was close enough that there was a recount. We spent time talking about possibly misleading ballots and a bunch of other nonsense. Bush told Gore not to worry about it, that Jeb said that he'd won, and Gore said something like, "Your little brother is not the final word in this election."
Gore wanted a recount, but only in the counties that he felt confident he'd win. The Supreme Court ordered that you can't pick and choose your recount spots and ended it, making GWB the President.
If Gore had said to recount the whole state we might have ended up with a different answer, but probably not. People just liked W a little bit more.
Cruz was on the team that helped rig it.
>>70767718
The audit done by every major paper in FL showed that Bush won by the ways Gore wanted to count and Gore won the way Bush wanted to count. There were 9 different methods and Bush won 5/4. Bush won, get over it.

So yea, 4 year old me wasnt keeping tabs on the General election at the time.
Are you stupid?
>>70769655
No, we -would- have ended up with a different answer. No question about it, Al Gore won the popular vote and would have been President but for the Supreme Court and Bush's allies in Florida.
>>70767718
jews
>>70770332
Popular vote was a 500,000 difference in an election of over 100,000,000 people. Every time you recount votes you get a slightly different answer. If we'd recounted the country who knows what the final tally would be? The popular vote count isn't real or official.

>Florida 'recounts' make Gore winner
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jan/29/uselections2000.usa
>>70767718
Racial minorities couldn't figure out how to use the ballots
The election was closer than ever before
It came down to whoever won Florida, wins the country
Unfortunately Florida was just as close as the rest of the state (~300 votes)
They counted North Florida counties (conservative) first, then moved towards Miami (blacks, Hispanics)
TV Networks declared Bush the winner
Courts correctly decided that if you're too stupid to punch the whole out all the way, you're too stupid to vote
Bush wins
Al Gore got more actual votes. He won the "popular" vote. Bush won because the electoral college. Florida was the last to be counted, and they shit it all up for a week so Bush would win the state and the election. This is when i realized people's votes don't count. Everyone that doesn't know this yet will when the GOP nominates Paul Ryan in the convention. Then there will be revolutionary war 2, err i mean just a shitposting storm on /pol/. Nobody is going to do anything even though they should.
>>70767718
>But how exactly did bush win
Because he got the most votes.
Literally only a blind ideologue will say otherwise. Say what you want about the continued relevance of the electoral, but Bush won Florida fair and sqaure. Then Al Gore tried to fuck around with selective "recounts" and the Scotus (in a 6-3 decision) said fuck you, you can't do that.
Gore is a dumb fuck. If he had just campaigned in Tennessee he would have won.
Flordia gov. JEB! and secretary of state Katherine Harris purged eligible and likely democratic voters before 2000, and stopped a recount when it started to favor Gore. Eventually the SCOTUS stepped in, stopped the recount for good, and gave the state to Bush.
>>70770974
Clarification, I was responding to OP's picture thinking he was asking how did Bush win florida when I said "because he got the most votes"
>>70770805
Wait, youre saying they are going to put up ryan instead of trump?
>>70767718
George Bush won Florida by like 1,000 votes, but Al Gore won the popular vote throughout the country by several million votes.
>>70770805
You don't follow the news, do you? Ryan doesn't want to be part of the mess this year. He's planning on a shot in 2020.
>>70767718
Just saving the country
>>70770974
Uhh.....
Gore won the popular vote by several million votes, It's just that Bush won Florida and thus the electoral college votes.
>>70771598
See my clarification>>70771049
>>70771050
That's what i think. They told kasic to stay in as a spoiler, saw that it wasn't working. Did the ted cruz shit in colorado. Once they get it to go to convention, they can put whoever they want in. They'll say, "we need someone who we think can win" or some bullshit. They can't control trump or cruz, they'll put in ryan. He'll do whatever they tell him. Remember when he "wasn't running for house speaker", and "wasn't going to accept the job"? What's he doing now? He's house speaker and running campaign ads. Even though he "isn't running"

>>70771775
Sorry, on my phone atm. I don't want this to happen. Trump is really the only chance on anything changing. But I'm worried they got the system under control, and what the people want doesn't matter to them. Why else would they want us to disarm? Because people get shot? They don't care about people
>>70771460
>mfw i just realized we're the Australians of America
crikey mate it all makes sense now
>>70768460
No when they were doing recounts they debated about whether ballots counted if they had the chad of paper still hanging on instead of punched clean off.
>>70769655
I remember there being something about votes for Ralph Nader splitting the Democrat base just enough to tip the scales in W's favor
>>70767718
The law of the land was ignored. Because the supreme court overturned the law on no basis, making it a one time thing. It was a 5 to 4 and the #5 was appointed by Bush's father.
It is the most rigged election for president we will see.

>>70773158
His family conspired with the Soviets for power and money. Al conspired with the communists of his day for money and power. He, Maurice Strong, and Ken Lay of Enron fame came up with the carbon trading scam to motivate the UN's global warming agenda by getting the finance community in on in during the Rio summit in 1992.
He's not a centrist. He's a good goy. He's an opportunist. He's a nobody.
>>70771364
>>70771598
>several million votes
What the fuck are you talking about? Al Gore won the popular vote by a couple hundred thousand votes, not several million.
>>70773158
And both he and Bush were part of the Order of the Skull and Bones. So no matter which way it went, the other was sure to help his "brother" out.
>>70773413
Howso
>>70769327
al gore didn't whore for attention with global warming until after the election you dumb fuck, this was back when al gore had just finished inventing the internet.
>>70773605
Was Jeb part too
Or did he have to stay outside
The electoral college was established due to fear of the popular vote. This proves its all rigged. If more people vote for someone, then he should be prez. But your wishes don't match "their" agenda. And their agenda wants the NWO. Fucking satanists

>>70768836
>Supreme Court can decide elections.
You could get your facts from Jewish comedians, or you could read a fucking book nigger.
All the Supremes ruled on was whether Florida could violate their own election laws.
Florida chose the President.
>>70773750
GHWB was in it (his name was "magog" IIRC after jerking off in a coffin in front of his frat brothers while reciting his sexual history based on how intense it was), but I don't recall having seen any of his sons on the leaked membership lists other than GWB.
I don't think Jeb really has the character or the intellect to have made it there.
>>70773805
She keeps losing states dude
And everyone i talk to thinks shes a criminal
And germany wtf why are u expert american politic

America went down the shitter because a Republican "won."

Im typing on phone without my glasses
Just trying to get my points across

It almost sounded to me like you wanted to continue the Clinton legacy.
Or that you wanted to call it a "legacy" and wanted it to "continue." What did you mean by that?

>>70773620
>Trump gets the nomination
Meme election, /pol/ is not string enough to meme a man into the oval office
>Some random fuck gets the nomination
Everyone hates the GOP, "Rigged!" etc.
How can they win, tell me. Cruz' polls seem pretty high up there, but does this accurately reflect the people who have lost faith in the republican party?
>>70771755
Hey numb nuts, Soros bankrolled Kasich, thats why he's still in
>>70768156
Hanging chads?
Sexual revolution when?
Gore should have won. The GOP would not have made an ass of themselves and McCain could have been President in 2008.
>>70770805
Ryan stated today he wouldnt accept the nomination and it should only go to someone who actually runs in primaries.
>>70770586
>Every time you recount votes you get a slightly different answer.
I knew that the american voting system is more retarded than a dozen DOWNers riding a Prius, but jesus christ
YOU CANT EVEN COUNT
>>70767718
Gore foolishly conceded the election before the final recount, if he'd fought for it he probably would have gotten the nod from the SCOTUS.
>>70774339
Bill Clinton was a perfectly reasonable President and most people agree.
>>70772211
>>70774411
McCain would have won in 2008 if bush hadn't handled the fuckers who aggravated the housing crash recession with kid gloves. Huge, blatant fraud and nobody even went to jail
ITT: people believing their votes count.
The shadow government freemason faggots choose the president. Prove me wrong.
>>70774352
Questionable. Obama, as much as I wouldn't call myself a supporter of his, has been a significantly much better statesman than Bush ever was. The only thing GWB had going for him was a semblance of global support behind America immediately after 9/11, which he utterly shredded in the brouhaha that's been Iraq.
>>70767718
We was kangz n'shit... Then that nigga Gore created the Internets and global warming. That crack ass cracka George W Bush called his cracka brother Yeb Bush and axed him to cook up a bowl of guac in Florida. county linez n'shit changed up... Voting machines wuz counting miss punched cardz as non-votes n'sheiit
was in my third yr of college at usf in tampa and remember all the butthurt libtards, they fkn hated it lol
gore won the popular vote, bush won the electoral. was the first time i realized how brilliant that piece of legislature was. the founders of this country had the foresight to create an electoral college to protect from a massive influx of foreigners attempting to come here and vote to change this great country to the shit-holes they came from. essentially, the electoral college acts like a buffering system and it worked beautifully.
in short, the right guy won. god bless america!
>>70774613
No, I asked you what the "legacy" was. And while you're at it, tell me what's so competent about Al Gore when he's consistently been wrong.
"Most people agree" doesn't count.
>>70774716
YOu're the one making the claim family
Chads bro. It's always fucking chads
>>70774716
I thought we were the shadow government freemason faggots
Meme magic n shiet
>>70767718
Gore lost; he wanted to recount the vote only in the counties that were heavily democrat. He lost florida fair and square
>>70767718
That's what losers say every election.
>>70774572
He also stated that he wasn't going to run for house speaker and wouldn't take the job if they elected him. What's he do now again? Oh, yeah. He's speaker of the house.

Nader did unusually well as a 3rd party candidate. He got about 5% of the popular vote, and leeched support from Gore.

Have you ever heard of the Internet of Things?
>>70775787
No. What the fuck is this gay ass qanda shit? Make your case
>>70767718
It was a very close vote, there were some ballots that weren't very clear (as far as who you wanted to vote for) and there were some ballots that weren't completed properly.
Gore wanted to recount votes (especially in the counties where he felt he could do well) and Bush pushed hard that there wasn't enough time for all sorts of recounts and that he was the winner.
Gore may or may have not won the election in Florida, but they never recounted all the votes statewide.
>>70775935
So the basic idea of the Internet of Things is to take every device, appliance, machine, whatever, that you own and connect it to the internet. This extends to medical implants, and even COOL SHIT like google glasses, or occulus or whatever the next cool thing is. But the real idea here is that now everything is networked.
The real idea here is transhumanism. What is transumanism ultimately about? It's about placing a 3rd party between your senses and your body and your motor controls and reality. And it's all sold do you on cheating old age, or medical conditions, or death, or sex, or whatever your pleasure is -- that's the key to making you want it. Being cool. Being better. The fountain of life.
In the end, what happens is that the network now mediates every single thing and completely controls you because you have become utterly dependent on the network. This is kind of like globalism and free trade -- now you need the system that controls you in order to survive.

Everyone was like Ayyyeee LMAO.
Gore was like COME ON BRO! CURRENT YEAR!
If you had went down to some counties in Florida with historically low voter turn out, and if you had paid some voters to vote for Gore/Bush whoever, you could've won the election.
>>70772603
This. The reason we can't have third party candidates in the current system is because they just fuck up one of the two existing parties, so they're practically ignored by everyone with power. Nader cost the democrats the election.
>>70773765
No the electoral college was made because it would have taken a fuck load a time to get all the national votes and count them so they just had each state count and get their own points and all that
But it has no place today. If youre a Republican in California or a Democrat in Texas youre vote isn't worth the paper its printed on
>>70774379
Are you implying soros is some kind of outsider that has nothing to do with who gets elected? Are you implying he wasn't pushing an agenda to keep trump or cruz out? What are you trying to say here?

Conservashits are good at rigging elections and yes Bush Dubya rigged both of his elections. he cheated Florida and Ohio
