2008 is prolly the most important Id say in terms of representation… black president, 2008 crisis etc but it wasn’t a close election at all.

2016 was when the Dems decided to stifle economic populism in favor of the establishment, when the Republican Party went openly white nationalist, and would lead to the complete undermining of our democracy and the systems that keep it in check

If Romney would defeated Obama, we would be living in a better timeline. - No MAGA authoritarianism - Robust response to Russian aggression - Less spending, and consequently less inflation

He had perfectly legal grounds to challenge the election but he didn’t for the sake of unity. Then it turned out he actually won

The Supreme Court handing it to Bush sent us down this path. He got us into stagnant wars for decades, created DHS and ICE, and it meant Gore couldn’t execute his climate plan, putting us in the current state of a decaying Earth.

Iraq war would have changed a lot Likely, that would impact 2004-2008, and thus it would have been impact the financial crisis a little bit? And could have helped us with global warming too

It certainly would have worked better than our current plan of selling national parklands to oil drillers and telling polluters “do whatever you want”

I can say with about 99% confidence we would not have invaded Iraq. The neocons were a clique that were attached to bush
