Reply #4: Using your logic, you can't blame the "shitty campaign," or any other reason. [View All]

Why? Because however many votes (say) the Democrats running a shitty campaign cost (call it X), it takes exactly one vote more than 50% of the votes to win an election. Not simply X.

See what you have done? Your logic prevents ANY factor from being blamed, since no cause was the SOLE cause. That should be enough to tell you that your logic is incorrect.

In reality, there were many causes, and they are all to blame. So when apportioning blame, the blame goes to anyone who didn't vote for Gore. That includes all Bush voters and all Nader voters. All enabled Bush's inauguration over Gore's. A vote does not need to be the deciding vote to deserve blame.
