I agree, that Gore did the right thing. But talking about how Bush stole the election didn't go out of style until Bush left the White House.

Then came Obama vs Romney. Obama won by a landslide, so people who opposed him said, "not my president".

When Trump won, his opposers did the same. People acted like foreign interference in elections was something new.

I'm not comparing as mucha as pointing out the logical escalation in rhetoric. How people communicate and act sets a precedent for future communications and action.

It would be good if the next election was as clean as Bush vs Clinton.
