Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

Well, I'd say I'd also disagree with your views on the Senate so let's just not.

California: 40m people, 2 seats
Wyoming: 578k people, 2 seats

Makes perfect sense

His podcast resembles Fox News lately, he’s gone full right wing that tit

He's one of the few people that gave Bernie a free platform.

America has a lot more fat white neckbeard types than I thought

Really?

not sure how anyone can be surprised given they voted trump in in the first place

if - big if going on what people are saying in here then - but if Trump wins by popular vote, it’s sad and ridiculous but just shows how absolutely blind the left are, not just in the US but over the world. And still are even after 4 years which has also included Brexit, tories getting in twice over here etc

The democrats’ entire argument seems to have been “We’re not Trump”

that’s fine and in this case it should really be enough, but it’s not an actual policy is it. It’s just trying to play Trump at a d***swinging contest and, frankly, there’s only gonna be one winner in that

California has 55 representatives in Congress.

What's really saddened me is that Trump has actually increased his vote. People have looked at him (if they care to look, I know), over the last 4 years, seen a quarter of a million dead, a tanked economy, bile, lies and division all over, the stench of corruption sky high and gone - yep. That's my guy. Depressing.

He's not and never was going to win the popular vote. So your vague assertion about the "left" means even less

Anyone got any figures how much money was spunked on election campaigns this time around?

I believe it stands at around $14 billion

This highlights the problem, one I said when Biden was nominated - it's all anti-Trump. It was never pro-Biden. It had to be more than just anti-Trump.

Well he got in the race by corporate mainstream media crushing Bernie and beating the ‘has more electability’ drum and not talking about the issues. So it’s just being true to form.

A very indecent amount. We could have done so much more beneficial things if we had invested that money in our schools or feeding the poor.

"Total cost of 2020 election projected to reach record-smashing $14 billion"

That was ages ago, he’s gone full tosspot since

Evidently we've managed to deter every last Joe Rogan listener - the last truly open-minded people left in America - from voting for us, so come what may at least we know we're not the baddies. Our undisputed streak of moral victories is again and forever intact!

Oh, and we won the possession stats again too. Has anyone mentioned that yet?

I believe you are aware the Dems get more votes than the GOP. That's not just a moral victory. It is scoring more goals and still losing.

Or, Biden was worse. I voted Biden but, my God, it was a struggle to not vote third-party again.

 

[BlueToff]

We’re not taking about the U.K. system (where, for all its faults, the constituencies are - for the most part - fairly consistent in size

Just a question.
If Biden wins would you still want the US system changing?

or does it just pretend who wins?

I’m not saying it’s a good system at all, just seems people only wanna change it when it doesn’t go the way they’d like it to or in their favour - and I don’t think Trump should be anywhere near Washington DC never mind the White House

Ah "Bernie"... Imagine if he'd have run - Trump would have won the popular vote too hahaha

Which isn't fully representative either.
