The supreme court gave Bush Jr the victory. They stopped the Florida recount and declared him president.

Florida's electoral inadequacies deserve more credit than this partisan hackery. |
Florida is probably the worst state in the union for democracy (yes I know we are a republic). They purge voter rolls and even kick out people that are legally able to vote because their name matches or similar to a felon. Then you have the entire hanging Chad instance that happened in 2000. Basically Florida republicans can go fuck themselves because they are even somehow worse than the state I reside in which is Texas. Florida is a terrible state for electoral process.
Republicans are the ultimate form of hypocrisy. They claim democrats are all about fraud yet time and time again they are the ones that supress votes and cheat in elections. I believe there is a guy from North Carolina that serving sentence for fraud.

I think they might of had another election or something. He basically pocketed most of the absentee ballots that voted for democrat.

Sounds like a good thing to me. 3 big parties would definitely be better than only 2. |
The structure of our political system won't support more than two parties. First past the posts and winner takes all, with no representation for the losers in that district/state/the country. Eventually two parties will grow and the people in the third party will get tired and gravitate towards the two major parties, and the third party will be swallowed up to the point where any members left are of little consequence other than as spoilers.

There's literally a specific word to describe Trump's neurosis!
Also, some of Y'all should check out this thread to maybe kickstart your awakening away from this absolute moron of a President: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/gzuim4/ex_trump_supporters_what_was_the_last_straw/
Seriously, guys, I still have no idea how anyone supports Trump unless they're blatantly bigoted and don't care about progress but only care about someone that appeals to their values. becuase seriously, the man's fucked in the head and wholly underqualified to be in that position, but people keep supporting him for some reason. He clearly has no idea what the hell he's talking about, has no idea how to do his job, and has the maturity of a 12-year-old with a learning disability.

Oh, there are lots of words for it. That's one of the more polite ones.

Yes. A woman who fell for a pussy-grabbing & a cigar-shoving powerful abusive man.

Well she is famous now because of it. No one would know who she is if she never messed around with him.
Speaking of "real men", this is one of my favorite headlines of the year because it just captures the incredibly petty, childish, pathetic, and authoritarian essence of the Trump presidency...and really of this whole era of politics in my view:
Trump campaign demands CNN apologize for poll that shows Biden leading
