They are sooo mad. Now they're calling Biden dropping out an "undemocratic ploy by the Democrats". As if they care about democracy, they keep saying that the US is not a democracy.
My dad has raged about this so much he's worked himself into apathy. He can't vote for a Republican or Democrat. Honestly, I'll take it. Means I'm at least canceling out my mom's vote, and my brother will get us the +1
I still expect republican voters to be fairly consistent, so remember folks, friends don't let friends not vote!
They co-opt every word so that they lose meaning.
It is a ploy. They are playing to the audience. Dumbass Republicans.
How not? You can't force somebody to be President... Although that does sound like a humorous scenario for a comedy film.
Well they are correct. The US is not a democracy.
The US is an indirect democracy, or a representative democracy.
The United States’ democracy index has been declining steadily since 2006 and has been considered a “flawed democracy” since 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index
Sounds right. The electoral college needs to go.
And you get to pick inbetween two old people to represent. Very cool
If you think the presidential election is the only election, maybe.
