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.
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.

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.

That’s a good start, now follow up with the rest of the context of the many links I posted.
Also I’m curious you haven’t answered any of my question about why your account is only 3 days old and have such a strong opinion on American politics.
I dont’ know who’s doing it but please stop down voting @[email protected] . You’re only hiding the slow progress they’re making.

I’m not downvoting you, and I didn’t say anything about you downvoting me.
No I’m suspicious of young accounts that have such strong opinions on countries they don’t live in.

Satire as progress, is this more of the nuanced take that is supposed to sway me away from pluralistic democracy?
deleted by creator
I think you might, because you’re parroting the point of the very people you’re saying are "poisoning the pool "as you say.

So Trump, that’s a moderate candidate? That’s what FPTP has gotten us.
You also don’t understand the Overton Window as it’s a general trend. Also how it’s a product of a binary choice that’s referenced by Duverger’s Law. I’ve literally laid out my whole political theory in support of Pluralistic Democracy and how the fastest way for America to get there is RCV.
Your response to all of this is that links are hard and you’ve only directly responded to a cherry picked comment from a political scientist that was cautious about saying RCV will definitely cure America’s electoral problems.
Again, you would be better served to look at any of the materials I’ve provided you.
