Official 2020 Election Results thread

Meanwhile, things are getting a little tense here in FORD Country.....

hopefully the shitty weather will discourage some of these fucking MAGAtt scum from showing up.

That sucks. I wanna see a Republican-on-Republican blood bath in my lifetime

Too late. The Republican Party is toast. If you want to see rednecks beat on each other just go to a cheap beer bar.

It really deserves to be.

Even by politician standards the lack of integrity and backbone has been depressing. Watching the weasels desperately trying to distance themselves from Trump now is shameless.

Piers fucking Morgan has come out saying that Trump who was his great friend a couple of months ago has suddenly transformed completely into a fascist monster that he doesn't like.

You need a new party but maybe the more important thing is the systems. Something is going horribly wrong with the selection process for Congress. These are not good people.

Same in the UK although ours are like a milder crappy version of yours. Election systems are the core problem which is probably too difficult to change so maybe you need to at least fix the money thing.

Your system came out of trial and error. It was a compromise between the king and the lord’s. Then of course a House of Commons and Prime Minister was added. Our system is based off that. The Senate is the equivalent of the House of Lords except they are elected. The House of Representatives is similar to the House of Commons. The President is the equivalent of a prime minister.

Our system isn’t perfect but it’s worked pretty well for close to two and a half centuries. The system is only as good as the people in it and the voter has some of the blame not voting the bad people out of office. Politicians are always a target for bribery and blackmail. Lot’s of temptation to sell your office and if too many do that it becomes the best system someone can buy.

It all goes in cycles. You have periods where people are fairly content and others where everyone is at each other’s throats. If you are an outsider wanting to control a country you create agitation and get various groups fighting each other. You push the buttons. If you want to unify a country you create an outside enemy. You can do that with a false flag. It’s a bunch of games. Someone is always playing someone.

Superficially maybe but not really in practice. You could argue that the senate is barely elected since it doesn't reflect the votes of the population but more importantly the House of Lords is just a review chamber it can ask the House of commons to reconsider but it cannot stop a law. In the US the senate is way more powerful. Secondly the Prime Minister is different from the president in that they are not directly elected they basically the leader of the lower house. That means that they are beholden to their own party, if Boris Johnson had for example called on people to attack parliament, members of his own party could remove him.

It is no coincidence that when the US and UK have been involved in helping many countries set up their democratic systems over the last 100 years or so they never suggest that they use the same system as we do. At the same time talk bullshit about the wisdom of founding fathers or in the UK case calling it the mother of all parliaments.

Well a dictatorship is certainly more efficient but hard to find a benevolent one.

Haven't you heard? The cheap beer bars are closed due to the OMG China Virus!
