it wasn't decided by votes. it was decided by courts.

Again, did we have President Gore? No we did not. He stuck his head left and bam lost the election. Thanks 3rd party voters!

You can talk about recounts and courts all day long and at the end of the day, guess what? We did not have President Gore. He lost. Thanks 3rd party voters!

Unless you reply with someone tangible, go ahead and play repeat. 3rd party votes do not work. In fact they are counter productive. Ciao.

the so-called third party votes didn't decide that election. the court did.

Courts wouldn't be involved if it hadn't been so close, so yes it was vote related

this can't be proven. courts may have become involved anyway, for some other reason. you can't prove a counterfactual.

OK sure but thy point is the reason they were involved is the vote was so close, meaning that wasted votes did matter very much
