Can he go back and time and stop himself from giving the election to Bush Jr.? I would like to live in a timeline where we avoided that disaster of a presidency

as i said in the comment above... classic argument to keep the 2 party system. why waste your vote on a 3rd party. well to make them run better candidates. swe what happen when you allow shitty candidates win... they keep getting worse

We could have used that attitude when he handed the election to Bush. I guess it only took a Republican war of choice and a catastrophic economic collapse to make him realize that no, Democrats and Republicans aren't essentially the same.

The supreme court handed the election to shrub. Jeb! handed the election to his brother. Roger Stone handed the election to his old pal with the Brooks Brothers Riot.

All of them had a bigger hand than Nader
