I wonder if the U.S. drastically weakening the U.N. and international norms with Iraq also destroyed any chance for global multilateralism.

insofar as they get any real respect, international norms are a first world liberal project so weakening them is probably a good thing, like how it's good that Trump hurt U.S. soft power

what's it like voting Libertarian back when the Green Party- Ralph Nader at least- would regularly beat them before Gary Johnson came on the scene?

There were (or at least I believed there were though it sounds true still) more elected self-identified Libertarians than any other third party by far (unless you count the local things Democrat and Farmer party) even if they were just dog catchers

If Gore won in 2000 I doubt he would have been able to do much to actually advance on mitigating climate change but there is a higher probability that 9/11 would have been stopped

But if 9/11 still happened he would have lost to Dubya in a landslide in 2004 and we would probably be back in the same situation

I think we would have still invaded Afghanistan though

bush did 9/11 so without bush, 9/11 wouldnt have happened. no point in alternative-historying it when bush did 9/11

you haven't deeply internalized the unquestionable fact that bush 9/11 if there's even a hint of probability, because he did.

Yeah, looks like Libertarians always beat Greens, the only times they didn't was when Nader ran as the Green nominee ('96 and 2000). He was just an independent juggernaut, a lesser Perot

Gore being president in 2000 would mean dems on the Supreme Court, which would mean Veith v Jubilerer 2004 has the opposite outcome and partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional.

Allowing states to strike down partisan destrict maps in 2004 would vastly improve the situation we'd be in now. 9/11, The War in Iraq, the 2008 crash are all peanuts compared to having state governments that aren't right wing totalitarian dictatorships for the next 50 years.

So my opinion is that voting 3rd party was fully justified any other time. 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020... However, 2000 was the last time elections mattered and Nader voters ironically signed the death warrant for the project of democracy in America, and the whole world will pay for it.
