Yes, American voters got it right. Gore should've been President.

I think you mean the electoral college elected Bush. The American voters chose Gore.

considering Bush did 9/11, it seems obvious that he was the wrong choice unless you think Gore would also do a 9/11

The Supreme Court elected Bush. Not the people, not even the electoral college. Five Republican members of SCOTUS decided to interfere with the election and decided on a partisan basis to give the election to a man that had not won either the popular vote or the electoral college vote.

No current voter has had any say on the existence of the Electoral college. No woman, non-white person, or non-land owner has ever voted for the Electoral college.

Sounds like the Electoral College existing has nothing to do with the will of the vast majority of American voters.

The argument also breaks down since as noted Gore also won the electoral college. Bush was not elected but installed by the Supreme Court.

I believe, in decades time, people will look back as this election as the most monumental fuck-up that fucks the world over.

If we had Gore as president and he could push climate measures, then I believe we'd be in a different place today, and things would not look so dire for tomorrow.
