Al Gore was a new runner for president after serving vice president for the two immediately previous terms, and was 52 at time of running.
Biden is an incumbent who served two vice president terms which he finished 8 years ago, and he is currently 81.
Now tbf, the orange definitely made Bush look like a competent and coherent president in comparison. But comparing Al Gore to Biden is kinda dumb. I expect Biden's huge train plan to go about as well as Obama's huge train plan of which he was also a part of.
It's not that both sides are the same, it's that they're both corporately backed which means nothing substantial will actually be achieved besides not shooting yourself in the foot like what Republicans like to do.
Also keep in mind the 2000 election was stolen by the supreme court because that power is totally valid against actual votes.
is there anyone at all concerned about climate change in 2024?
Horseshit
This is bullshit. Climate change wasn't a thing for Gore until he went looking for another job. If he had been president everything would still be the same....militaristic and corporate. And remember that he is a Southern conservative whose wife wanted music banned but had to settle for warning stickers.
You Enlightened Centrists sure do love selective glorification of the past
Both sides are equally bad, but one side is more equal than the other.

And then Obama won and he fixed the climate crisis and didn't start any wars. Good thing we finally learned to vote for Democrat! Both sides schmoth sides!
And Genocide Joe of course is fixing every single issue right now. Such as killing all Palestinians which is the most important issue as all the Democrats focus goes to keeping israel's Genocide going.
Assuming that all democrats across the last 24 years are all the same is utterly unreasonable.

The oldest millennials in 2000 were 19 years old.
OP are you trying to finger wag us for decisions made by Boomers?
Nobody mentioned millennials or boomers.
I did.
I'll rephrase, why did you mention millennials when millennials weren't being targeted by the meme?
Who do you suppose OP was targeting?
People who would use the "both sides" logical fallacy in debates. Nothing about this post is directed at a specific generation.

Yes he would know, no it wouldn’t have helped. It’s a global thing, not a local thing.
