@DeannaRashell@staceyabrams It’s not a popular vote candidates are actually chosen by delegates that agree to vote for the candidate that wins the popular vote at the RNC/DNC They can contest the rule that they must vote for who they pledge to in the primary. See also: Electoral College
I find it interesting that one is talking about the very strategic choice of Biden to wait to step down until after Trump accepted the nomination at RNC last week. It’s going to be a hell of a few weeks/months to DNC, and the polls in Nov. Buckle up.
The amount of people spouting off in light of today’s news that think Presidential primary and general elections reflect their personal vote is astonishing. Primaries and Caucuses give votes to delegates-not candidates- and the general election goes through the Electoral College.
Let’s see…
A hurricane in Los Angeles.
100° ocean water in Florida.
Half of Canada on fire.
And an entire town in Maui burned to the ground.
But yeah, “climate change is a hoax.”
The dangers of Trump are still evident; his disdain for the rule of law, his contempt for the democratic process, and lack of any kind of moral center are drawn in sharper focus than ever before. By and large, he is a loathed and loathsome figure.
