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.
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 @glizzard@lemmy.ca . You’re only hiding the slow progress they’re making.
I only downvoted like once or twice, and they were times they were legitimately useless. Hilarious you’d call it out when you’re clearly downvoting my content immediately.
Because I just joined this website. Because it has content now, that’s generally up to date. It’s a crime, mr officer, to be a young account and be disagreeable.
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.

I’m sure you can understand why
Okay mister “random letters that can’t accept a differing opinion and replies with random shitty links to make his point look better”, I definitely understand
I don’t need your introductions to ranked voting. I can see the point. But bot when all the other shit exists, too. There’s an order to this shit, and giving extra levers to those that don’t want democracy isn’t helpful either
I think you might, because you’re parroting the point of the very people you’re saying are "poisoning the pool "as you say.

And again, here you can read this one in private. I won’t tell anyone.

I literally do not want more moderate candidates. Do you not see that is my point? If you push towards moderation when the average is slewed towards “anarcho-capitalism”, you’re going to keep pushing that direction.
