US President Joe Biden has said he is not confident there will be a peaceful transition of power if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.
"[Trump] means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all this stuff about ‘if we lose it will be a bloodbath’.”
Mr Trump’s comment that it would “be a bloodbath for the country” if he loses the election, made as he was talking about the auto industry in March, triggered a wave of criticism.
The Trump campaign, however, said the comment was specifically about the auto industry and had been deliberately taken out of context. It sent a fundraising email which said Trump’s political opponents and others had been “viciously” misquoting him.
I think Biden, being freed up and all, should spend some time fortifying the election results.
100% agreed.
I know the election is inherently flawed
Aside from Trump and his ilk getting his ilk installed as election workers who have vowed to disrupt the election any way they can, how exactly is it “inherently” flawed? Pretty sure this way of thinking is why these people feel emboldened to question the elections. There was no inherent flaw in 2020. And every single court ruled as such.
first past the post is kinda a shitty system, it results in a two party system, which isn’t good. but to start fixing that you’d need to redo all of politics and that’s never going to happen.
They may be talking about the fact that you can win the presidency with a minority of votes. They’re right about that, but the actual vote counting is pretty secure, as the courts have decided.
