didnt Trump loose the majority vote in 2016 supposedly, nice democracy lol
No one said it was a direct democracy.
Excellent. We secured a last minute deal with the European Union. Smooth operations at the border. Since we left the Pound is trading at it’s highest for a while and the value of our passport has gone up a place. So far so good. Cloudy ahead?
its not democracy period, anyone saying it needs a poke in the eye
Alright. I love the UK. 💙 https://youtu.be/UMBurilTrwM
It worked as it should... Why? Because without the electoral college, popular vote would elect president. Which means Cal, NY, and FL would decide who's president and no-one else's vote would count.
It's a democracy. :)
I’m more concerned about the trade deal we don’t have with the US. Biden is not friend of Boris.
I’m not sure they understand democracy?
the mob does not rule, thats how you get nazis and socialist purges and terrible things ok, our founders knew this and most ppl still do
It's really both... Neither is wrong.
True, it takes from both systems.
But the argument I constantly hear is that the vote doesn't matter, which is the appeal to the absolutist idea of a republic.
I understand the quibble with "direct"
But anyone who thinks the electoral college is not necessary needs a poke in the eye.
Still misused.
Colin McGregor is a sore loser who continues to do himself no good. Much like someone else who recently lost. 🤷♂️
its a Republic, some states have democratic voting, with districts broken down.. some territories dont vote for president..
So if the inauguration is online - I guess they will have to spin up 80 million bots to watch it to get their viewer stats up
How long do you think the first country-wide lock down will be?
I'm for the electoral college, but I am well aware that there are many democratic systems in the US.
That stem from having presidential elections in the 1800s.
How long after the 20th do you think that there will be new laws to restrict firearms in the US going through the house?
good lord the ammo prices
Maybe a year, maybe 2.
I don't care really. Just stupid UK vs US banter
They won't do it immediately.
How long after that 20th do you think it will take to see the tax laws undone and taxes increased with the statement "oh the rich will pay for it" and then it turns out that small business owners and middle class suffer the most.
Hence I added the other “loser”. 😜
I'm more worried about availability than price..
I want to see the tax system reworked honestly. Not huge on more taxes, but I'm for tax reform.
i would be fine with half honest commie like bernie but biden is so very bad..
If Bernie is a commie, what is Stalin?
Tax reform in leftist (general) speak means more taxes.
He’s a socialist I would say?
More aligned with socialism *
Not for me, it means reforming the tax code.
Stalinist?
Why is the public transport system so bad in Communist countries? There's only one person per wheel barrow - sigh
