Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

[Deleted member 43796]

To be fair I actually think the Electoral college makes for a more competitive system than the UK’s. We’re looking down the barrel of 15 years of conservative rule, if not 20 years so I don’t think we can really get high and mighty about it

Both systems are massively antiquated, like choosing between being kicked in the shins or punched in the face

The Electoral College’s Racist Origins

More than two centuries after it was designed to empower southern white voters, the system continues to do just that.

Have you ever changed your mind on anything??

Sassy, we can’t go on together with suspicious minds.

Amigx, you have a valid point. However, we can't go on together under Trump's leadership either. After all, it has been him the one that who has propagated all this mistrust.

couldn't care less who wins but postal voting should be banned in future everywhere.

If you can't be arsed to get out and vote you shouldn't have one

I guess that’ll suck for the guys in the military who are deployed overseas.

it was done this year more so than others b/c of COVID 19 concerns. You know, the pandemic that's raging across the US and Europe, as well as the world

Tough [Poor language removed], it is so open to fraud (not saying there is fraud in this election BTW). If my missus isn't arsed about voting.. i could sign her up and vote for her.

Utter sham

He really is very mental. It's hard to predict what he will do

I predict chaos and self aggrandizement

If Biden narrowly wins the presidency, and the democrats lose the senate and probably the house, its going to be a worst case scenario for the democrats.

Then Biden wont be able to do much for years, yet all the republicans will be incensed over him "stealing" the election and hold that anger until the next election, and he will have 4 years to be an insane senile person while the republicans will be able to put up someone who appears amazingly rational compared to Trump.
