    “After winning the popular vote, he accepted the outcome of a disputed presidential election for the sake of unity and trust in our institutions,” Biden said. “That to me was amazing, what you did Al.”

      Al Gore conceding the election in which he won the most votes in order to facilitate the destruction of several countries, a dramatic expansion of secret extrajudicial policing and surveillance, and the demolition of earth’s climate is not something that led to me having “trust in our institutions”. Learning that votes don’t matter, and that the president is chosen by an unelected council of elders that rules for life with no accountability did not increase my “trust in our institutions”.
