Even Harris. Biden is being pathetic, but it's ridiculous that they haven't been working on him stepping aside, and coming up with a succession plan since a year or so in to his term. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump’s supporters are so fucking stupid they’d see something like this and demand answers. Vance would have to deny it, maybe even tell them that adrenochrome is not even a fucking thing and was made up on 4chan by edgelords. Which would obviously go down swimmingly with the QAnon supporter base. More mental stuff only Americans would believe like this please. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane that the grifting cunt had managed to blag a 40 year career out of making shit up and claiming it as fact. He’s probably more successful now because people are even thicker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44853 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Always need to be wary of these polls where it's "somebody imaginary vs." but Biden just needs to fuck off immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9399 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Saw an analyst quoted on twatter, by one of the yank commentators I follow, this a.m. he uses 13 fixed metrics and his method has correctly predicted the last 9 elections, his system says only way Dems win is if they keep Biden and get behind him. Will post the link if I see it again. I'm not so sure (even with the pathetic media onslaught) that Trump is a shoe-in, there's a LOT on "never Trump" republicans who voted against him in the primaries, could be pivotal.

PaddockLad 17252 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Trump has lost the popular vote twice. So it’s yet again now down to our dear old friend the electoral college system. I still don’t understand it properly. Or I understand it but I don’t understand why in 2024 they’re still fucking using it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44853 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Aye it's just each state wins you a certain number of electoral college votes. That is equivalent to the number of senators (2 from each state) and the number of Congress representatives (which varies state by state based on population). So you win states on the basis of popular vote to amass electoral college votes. You need to get to 270 to win, because there are 538 electoral college votes.

Renton 21615 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Also kind of makes sense in a federalised system like the States. What doesn't make sense to me is the current two party hegemony. But again, not that much different from here really. In the US I believe a large proportion of the population are registered to a particular party so they can vote in the primaries, which is different. Also things like voter supression. Think both our systems are outdated tbh and leading to poor leadership. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like he’d been telling people about Jimmy Savile ‘for as long as he could remember’.

I still don’t understand it properly. Or I understand it but I don’t understand why in 2024 they’re still fucking using it Like others have said it’s FPTP. Difference is, bigger the state population, the more votes they have weighted to that state in the electoral college system. You could win the vote by a fine margin in the biggest state by population (California iirc). Instead of being remotely representative, a virtual 50/50 spilt over a vast area comprising loads of small towns and massive cities carries all (and the most) votes for that state. Mental system imo especially in such divisive times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
