Germany/France/Mexico Denounce Biden Anti-Dissent Crackdown

Postby saxitoxin on Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:52 pm

It's happening.

So that you know, if Trump loses you probably won't hear from me for at least a week and when I eventually return I'll be drunk for the first couple days, and then in a shitty mood for the next couple days after that.

If Trump wins I'm gonna be here being annoyingly condescending and smug.

So, it's true what they say, that your polls close at 7, so working people don't have time to get home after work, feed the kids, and still make it to the polls?

Here, we generally close the polls at 9:30. I guess respect for working people is a luxury I shouldn't take for granted.

Yeah, they open at 6 a.m. on October 19 and close at 7 p.m. on November 3.

So for all the working people pulling a 324-hour shift, they might need to try to vote at lunch.

we vote only on sundays and polls close at 8. and at 8:01 we know who our president is and he starts straight away, not 2 month later.
Also, the vote of each of our citizens counts the same.

Yeah, you're a godless folk. Canada is a Christian nation, we wouldn't dream of polluting the Lord's Day with something as crass as politics.

Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your ass may have rest …

Your ass won't get much rest if he has to put up with a swearing-in ceremony and start reading briefing papers from the prefectures right away!

You’ve been able to early vote or vote by mail for days or weeks in some places.

Poll closing times are irrelevant.

I think they should have in-person polls for a week... and mail-in only if requested and only if you state a valid reason.
There SHOULD be some barriers to voting... like caring.

The idea that we have a lame-duck president for months after the election... that’s a remnant of a time when communication took longer.
It’d be nice if we could put bipartisanism aside and make this a faster transition.

People like to complain about the Electoral College, but these are people who generally don’t understand our country and our founding.

There’s an argument to be made that we should get rid of it. It’s not valid however to state that an election is ‘stolen’ or ‘unfair’ or anything else like that because some losing candidate “won the popular vote”. The “popular vote” is meaningless in our system and crying about it after the fact is the same as a 9yo crying about losing because the “rules were unfair”. If there was a different system candidates would run campaigns differently, and people would vote differently, and so you can’t assume the “winner” of the “popular vote” would “win” if the system was changed prior to the fact.

so can you explain howfair it is that depending on your state your vote has more or less weight? the electoral college system is not accurate in terms of population per state. Also... candidates end up campaigning actually only for swinging states and take some states for granted.
If all votes counted the same... you would campaign for sociodemographics... not for locations

It makes sense within the original context of the U.S., that it is a free association of sovereign states, and that the interests of people in smaller states need to be protected.

Granted, it has mutated into something else, but that's another story. Its original conception made sense.

It helps limit recounts. Instead of fighting in all 50 states for every vote... just one or two states.
