    You find that funny Dutchboy? The majority of American voters obviously agree and that’s exactly how a democracy is supposed to work. Do you have another idea of how a democracy is supposed to work?

    We just had a chance to “vote for someone better” as you put it and we did. You think no one over 65 can run this country? Ridiculous. Biden is no clown. Americans that believe in democracy just won this election.

    x2. Hopefully he’ll restore some dignity and respect back to the office of potus

    What I find funny is that you or anybody else thinks this guy is better than what you have today. He is different, not better, just different.

    Depends how you define majority of country. Real legal voters? Or votes counted behind closed doors.
    Kinda like NBA draft behind closed doors.

    I can’t believe that we haven’t came with a fail safe undisputable way to vote and get the results within a day, the more this drags out the more suspicion that one side is cheating, this has been going on since Daily of Chicago was mayor. seems to me the technology should be there for one of the most important things we can do in voting for the candidate of your choice.

    I would also like to be able to change the rules of things after I found out I lost. Sounds like you want a participation ribbon or something?

    You don’t think our process isn’t flawed? they thought it back when Gore lost and were going to fix it back then, I’m just saying after watching this cluster that it shouldn’t be that hard to have a clear winner within a day. unlike you, I just want a winner without controversy.it doesn’t matter if I like him or not, or if I voted for him or not.

    OK KK,

    Lets put old groppy slurry Joe up to what President Trump had to go through right after he won
    his first election. That would be fair right?

    President Trump had doctors going over his medical examination and mental aptitude tests for weeks after inauguration. WEEKS of press conferences and bullsheet questions regarding his results. Which were stellar.
    Do you think Joe would fair as well? Or do you not remember that happening to President Trump?

    Biden will never go through what Trump did medically. Never Never Never. Do you know Why? Because he would FAIL. Main stream media is Far Left.

    Get your head out and Wake up.

    If you dislike and distrust politicians and the way things are now, what do you think it would be like without the electoral college?

    Why would anyone running for president waste his or her time in the middle of the country when your vote would matter little becausethe majority of the population live on the east and west coast?

    Do you want chicago, California and New York steering the direction of the country?

    This is already happening.
    East coast—Biden
    West coast—Harris
    California—Harris

    Nobody over 65 can run for president??? Then maybe anyone over 65 shouldn’t be able to vote. Sounds asinine, doesn’t it?

    We have a winner without any real controversy whether I like him or not. Any perceived controversy is manufactured. The American people voted and I accept the result just like I have for every election.

    I guess Trump was persecuted wasn’t he and according you the media still persecutes him? Have you ever heard of the persecution complex? You have all of the symptoms.
    Face it. The majority of the American voters just voted Trump out of office.

    I just don’t understand why people would vote to rise taxes (repeal tax cuts) rise gas prices, and health care(obama care). At the time my health care cost when up essentially. The money people talk that it is a wait and see about the market. At my age I do not want 401 plunging to the bottom. I hope it will all work out and not get to crazy!!!!!

    I think this answers your question pretty well.

    “The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

    Essentially, they want more of your money to give to others, they are running out…… although one has to wonder just how much longer we can spend money we do not have as a nation before we go bankrupt … 27,225,311,150,000 in national debt the last time I terrified myself by looking or 217,934 each for those actually paying taxes ….

    Just wondering if it will be $4 gas, $3 propane and back to 6% house loans. That should build the economy. You think the unemployment is high now, what will it be if that happens?

    I think we can put all the speculation behind us now. We all know that politicians promise the world and deliver very little.

    4 years from now we will know what type of President Biden turns out to be. The only question left to answer is will we all be pissing and moaning for the next 4 years like the past 4 years?

    Time to move on, there is nothing we can do about what will happen anyhow.

    I dont see why a popular vote would be bad – it sure would make voting seem more meaningful on a personal level no matter what flavor of state you live in.

    If it was one person one vote, I can’t see why it would even make sense to vote if you lived in most parts of the country. Unless your views aligned with the inner city there would be no point because they would rule all. Plain and simple.

    This. The last thing a candidate would care about would be concerns of farmers, ranchers or rural folks essentially disenfranchising those voters forever. You think people are angry and divides now? Take away th voice of people living outside of big cities.

    I would bet if we don,t get a handle on Covid that is exactly what will happen .

    Hopefully mass mail in voting never happens again like it did this time around. It’s been disastrous for the confidence in the outcome.

    The first round of Covid didn’t bring those things so I have to wonder why anybody thinks the second round would.

    What I find funny is that you or anybody else thinks this guy is better than what you have today. He is different, not better, just different.

    He is different because he is better LOl Sick of trump’s narcissistic behavior and his constant lies.

    Veteran Republican election lawyer Ben Ginsberg expressed dismay at President Trump’s attacks on legitimate vote-counting efforts this morning, saying he had never seen a President behave in such a manner.

    “It is a distressing moment for me as a long time Republican to see a call to disenfranchise so many people,” said Ginsberg. “…What the President said tonight is not only unprecedented and it not only lacks any basis in the law, it really is a disservice to all the other men and women who are on the ballot as Republicans today.” Ben Ginsberg said there is zero evidence of voter fraud , the only one pushing that is trump !

    Gee how many lost their jobs had their hours cut , had their business go bankrupt because of Covid spreading throughout the country . The numbers are getting worse by the day its spreading bigly as trump would say. My sister was just notified she has tested positive for covid the place of business she works at has a dramatic rise in cases . The janitor who does the sanitizing has even contracted it ! This is going to get worse you can bet on it . It will have a financial impact , how severe remains to be seen.
