So everyone is doing Monday morning quarterbacking here. I guess y'all preferred Gore or Kerry. They were the alternatives at the time.It's disappointing of things that Dubya said after he had retired from his presidency. But the way I view it, we did what we could with Afghanistan. Joe Biden botched the evacuation. Why did we leave Bagram Air Base in the first place?

But if it makes you feel better to criticize Dubya just because he had refused to hop on the Trump Train, by all means, carry on.

Just in general, on this site nowadays, we are supposed to hate Bush. That’s the tone of every thread about Bush. Some say they regret voting for him. They wish they could go back in time and change their votes. As if they would really prefer Al Gore or John Kerry had won elections against Bush?

There is a general feeling here, that all Republicans except for Reagan and Trump are just too liberal to suit people here. And even those two get criticized sometimes, for certain aspects of their presidencies.

If one is going to be a purist, one can always find fault with anyone or anything.

Nobody could seriously want Kerry. Buchanan was better than Bush, which l suppose implies that Bush wasn't much better than Gore.

First problem: could anybody really know that at the time? Second problem: abortion, which seems to be what people vote on most of the time.

Would Gore really have been different from Bush on foreign policy? Would he really have avoided the financial crash? And would he have been as gung ho on climate change as he was after he'd been out of office for a few years and needed a new grift?
