The law doesn't care about your feelings. Gore lost, he accepted it and moved on.

Grover Cleveland would like a word with you.

Yes, but unfortunately, the popular vote is not what decides the presidency.

Whos to say that the 08 crisis wouldve even happened if Gore had been elected instead of Dubya

While that's something to think about, Clinton removed Glass-Steagall so I think things would have gone undetected until it was too late regardless. As far as I remember Bush didn't do things that accelerated the subprime loans. The banks themselves I think would have caused it regardless of which administration was in power.

Private gains and public losses is always a disaster waiting to happen, apart from the times there's no wait.
