"What could he have done? I don't know but the moment he gave up and conceded the rigged election was acceptable to him, he lost all chance of future claims."
You don't even have an answer.
To my way of thinking, that's the same mentality as blaming the rape victim.
The Supreme Court was against him.
Florida's Governor, Secretary of State, and legislature along with Bush the least's other confederates were the power of that state.
The corporate media had been against Al for the better part of two years prior to the selection of 2000 as they had been slandering/libeling him since March of 1999 in their "War Against Gore."
"Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet" etc. etc. etc. it wouldn't have been close enough to steal had that one sided propaganda campaign by a monopolized corporate media not been going on.
They trashed Gore and democracy precisely because he was the preeminent champion of both the Internet directly and democracy indirectly via magnifying the people's 1st Amendment power.
That motivation is as ancient as Zeus punishing Prometheus for stealing fire and giving it to humanity, all the corporate media cared about was the potential loss of power, influence and money
The corporate media also knew that Gore was the preeminent political champion against the threat of global warming which threatened their heavy commercial buying fossil fuel corpse.
Al Gore; respected if not loved our democratic republic too much to rile his supporters up to attack the Congress or Supreme Court.
