Hanaguma Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 1 hour ago, paddypower said: typical American shoot-from-the-lip reaction. you completely missed the point i made. which was that the electoral system sucks, as it designed by the authors of the US Constitution to be a compromise between election by Congress versus election by popular vote. the informed world knows that the US Congress is bought and paid for. the result is, more often than not, the popular vote is ignored. do you need pictures to comprehend common sense? no wonder your country is f'd up. regardless of Dems or GOP, it is half way towards a fascist state. I guess you didn't spend a lot of time reading or understanding my previous reply. I'm not American, but thank you for the compliment just the same. The US system is similar to many countries, especially in the G7. In Canada, the party that got the most votes in the last 2 federal elections also did not form the government. Parliamentary system in action. As for the rest of your tedious screed, I will just leave it hanging for others to peruse and contemplate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since May, there was a 3-point change in the presidential race. Trump was ahead by 1 point last month, while Biden is up by 2 points today: 50%-48 I too was caught by surprise today too about another Fox News having polling showing the dramatic up turn from Independent vote. I had to do a double take as I think it is the first time Fox has told a surprising truth! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he "hang out" like buddies. Fact of the matter, they hate each other. Trudeau just doing his official duties meeting Trump and in IMHO always try to avoid Trump.

Trump will just keep on lying and lying with impunity and his minions in right wing media will parrot his words. It's really up to the American people to decipher it all. I'm still confident that in the end, a majority of Americans will not allow a corrupt lying conman and convicted felon to become POTUS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
