American Politics 3.0 - Back to Brunch

[GirlySports]

Vance and Trump doing Rogan, that was 6+ hours of free advertising.

If Harris was busy or uncomfortable then fine but Walz definitely should have.

[flylock shox]

At this point I'm just hoping the US remains preoccupied with its own self-immolation long enough that they don't notice Canada sawing them off at the border and floating away.

You know that these are automatic stop triggers for both positive and negative volitility. It’s to prevent contagions from destroying the market.

You sound like a GME cultist.

That action will start a civil war. The Democrat administration won’t hand over power in that scenario. It’s not like last time where Trump held the levers of government. Essentially in that scenario the military will choose the president.

No, I'm annoyed that the US uses electoral college system, which is already a cartoonishly flawed system, and then on top of that you add other flaws like the one outlined a few posts above.

Then on top of all that you have one state that is likely to decide the entire election, and in said state there is no in-person early voting option that most states have.

The US is such a silly country in a lot of ways. Which is not good considering it has the strongest military in the world and an ungodly arsenal of nuclear weapons.

Why is the electoral college cartoonishly flawed? It seems like it's working the way it was intended. pretty rare to see a Democratic system that works perfectly

This is what's going to happen if the results are close..

This is Qanon level speculation and bull#### by a fringe magazine whose president is an actual communist.

DOnald Trump winning while losing the popular vote.

It's a dumb way to give out votes.

You know the Liberals won the last federal election and Trudeau remained PM even though the Conservatives won the popular vote, right? Was Canada’s last federal election undemocratic?

In lots of electoral models the winner of the popular vote doesn’t necessarily win the election.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The Electoral College is the only thing keeping US elections interesting, otherwise the Dems would win every election with ease. You gotta think of entertainment value when considering the validity of electoral systems.

Well, not just that. The whole spirit of the College is to recognize and prevent a buffoon from being able to take office in the first place.

We all know how that went.

[DownInFlames]

There's no such thing as a flawless voting system.



But the Electoral College is one of the worst.

This is what they are going try even if it isn't close which it won't be. Trump's who gameplan is to overturn the election and he has multiple plans to do so.

The military will not decide President. That is not happening.

Or maybe he had a sinus infection that was entirely unrelated to the vaccine. ####ing science ignorant people in power will ruin us all.

[Scroopy Noopers]

That isn’t how vaccines work… so the tweet ain’t helping either.
