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.

More moderate candidates in an a cesspool just gives you garbage. Lmfao “the left is pushing the overton window and wants violence” is some tripe. Trump was shot by a Republican. It sounds like youre a propagandized American that grew up in neoliberal hellscape. Why should anyone believe the rest. You’re not worth the price of the bytes on disk. “Manufacturing consent”, like Kamala, right? Like Bush, right? Man I don’t know what point you make, you just use buzzwords and say that proves a point. Wrap yourself in your fantastical solutions that will continue to lock yourself in the hellscape without actually solving anything. Whatever.

You’ve been here only 3 days and already are so defensive. I’ve decided that you’re willfully ignorant, unwilling to read sources, and are unable to post supporting sources for your points.

I hope you heal your ego and reconsider your position. Have a calmer night. I’m not going to engage further with you about this as you are not able to support your argument or consider a viewpoint outside of your own. I don’t want to contribute to the divisiveness of the situation, no matter how much I shit post here. I think this might be of interest to you. I’ll give you some sources for the United States, since you as a Canadian have such a strong rigid opinion on our politics.

It’s hilarious that you consider the shit you’ve posted as “sources” as most of this is bottom-barrel definitions. There were some actual sources regarding implementation, which are interesting, but I see no gain in opening up a system that is already incredibly abused. Everyone always skips the whole “getting money out of politics” angle, and somehow believe this system will rid them of that.

I’m lost, you can read my responses but not my sources… I think it might be reading comprehension and not literacy that is your problem.
