Not to mention that unlike DT, fighting to the bitter end for blatant lies and crazy conspiracy theories, Gore threw in the towel and thus betrayed the nation. I do not think we should be using any terms that harkens back to that dreadful turning point.

The Florida electors were unlawfully appointed pursuant to an incomplete and therefore unlawful election. Gore, and the Democratic caucus, should have made the case, educated the public, and fought to toss out the Florida electoral votes on Jan 6, 2001.
