minus-squareDiscoslugs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down13·1 year ago That’s not what they said in 2012 (a year when Bush wasn’t even on the ballot, by the way). You are right it was in 2000. That was a long time ago. Anyways here’s an article talking about black voters are " choosing the lesser of two evils" when voting for Gore. Remember how that turned out? If I remember correctly gore got more votes but Bush still won because his brother was the governor of Florida or something… https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2000/10/29/some-black-voters-view-gore-as-the-lesser-of-two-evils/875026c6-d3d7-4076-ae3d-db858cb0270b/
