    Most of us are right there with you. What’s most important though is that most of us in like 4 swing states are also right there with you.

      Prolly even like in some red states as well.

      The American election system has so many flaws, that I am surprised that no politician cares enough for that to change.

        Things work really well here for you if you’re amoral and wealthy. So like 99% of elected officials.

        I saw a video of republicans outraged because someone was apparently trying to change the voting system to use ranked voting, and this would destroy the two-party system (yt link) which apparently would be a horrible thing to happen

        Strange that they worship the founding fathers so much and insist that the system they put in place is perfect and must never be changed when John Adams wrote (google books link):

        There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.

        Did you know that Biden is like three and a half years older than Trump? I mean. What were his parents thinking?

            Yeah sure. His speeches must be AI generated or he’s already replaced by an android then. Yeah I know what a teleprompter is but he obviously doesn’t read off of them in most of his speeches.

            What’s not coherent about those speeches? Compared to Trump it’s day and night.
