3. There's a difference between vigorously opposing government actions & pissing in the punch
Gore did not "roll over easy". He exhausted all his legal remedies, but played by the rules. Lay the blame where it belongs: Republican vote suppression and the Supreme Court playing partisan politics. If we give up playing by the rules, we're guilty when the game --civil Constitutional government-- falls apart.
he should have worked harder for a state-wide recount. That was his only chance and the only one that would have wide acceptance among the voters throughout the US.
16. That was a tactical decision (and not a good one), but he did try till he couldn't
The fact that he pushed for only limited recounts instead of statewide recount doesn't mean he didn't vigorously contest the results until the SCOTUS shut the process down. Your dismissal of his efforts is painted with too broad a brush
