But all [sic] didn't lose. It was stolen by the Supreme Court. Al won the
popular vote, and in a real democracy, would be president, right?

The Supreme Court was irrelevant, because Gore never had the votes (in
any recount) to overcome Bush at any rate.

There is no such thing as "the popular vote" as there is no federal
election (only a Federally mandated election date).

Good thing we aren't a real democracy.

First, you will have to define "democracy." A "real democracy" (or
pure democracy) cannot even be made to work in my hometown of 521
persons. What makes you think it would work in a disparate nation of
fifty seperate states and 290,000,000+?

We don't have to.
Democracy has always been defined as an out-court-settlement
of the US Republican Party vs The People on Earth with brains.
So it's actually a quite trivial win-win situation
when you have literate people vs Betchel morons.

And it's even more trivial when you have Nuclear Reactors
vs Alaska morons.

Or as Nixon would say:

There's commies everywhere Checkers, they got me surrounded.
Call Charleton Heston quick, we need
retarded Supreme Court Lawyers and Moses on the scene.

If you can't argue intelligently don't do it at all.
