People who support the Stormcloaks seem to be very forgetful about a lot of things or ignorant on why the Thalmor even stood a chance against the Empire. Let me remind you before The Great War the Oblivion Crisis weakend the Empire. While the Empire was rebuilding The Thalmor were getting stronger taking Summerset Isle and overthowing the government in Valenwood. The Thalmor then gained Elsweyr largely due to the religious beliefs of the Khajiit. Thus the Empire lost Valenwood and Elsweyr to the Thalmor, Black Marsh was also lost due to the Oblivon Crisis, Morrowind never fully recovered from the erruption of Mount Vvardenfell. Hammerfell was in a civil war so you see what the Titus Meade II inherited. I'm guessing the people who support the Stormcoaks don't even know how the Great War even began let alone any events that took place during The Great War. Support Ulfric and you pretty much hand the Thalmor Tamriel on a silver platter. It doesn't take a genius to figure out Why.
