In his first post-debate TV interview, Biden insisted that he would not step aside: "I don’t think anybody’s more qualified to be president or win this race than me."

The 22-minute prime-time special with ABC was aired in full — “no cuts, no edits, we have not touched it,” interviewer George Stephanopoulos said.

      Yes, the electoral college is a useless relic at this point, used by Republicans to fuck over the populous. We are not on horseback anymore.

      There is no reason a person’s vote in Wyoming should be worth more than a person’s vote in California. The electoral college needs to be eradicated.

      Unfortunately, it’s the system we still have and the popular vote couldn’t help us from 8 years of GWB and 4 from Diaper Don.

        Fun fact: if you exclude 2004 in which W Bush was an incumbent war time president, no Republican has won the popular vote since 1988.

          Exactly. And they know this. The demographics are dead set against Republicans ever winning another popular vote with their shit policies— which only benefit millionaires and billionaires.

          Trump will lose the popular vote again, as well. Hence the march to fascism, the capture of the state legislatures, etc. Even if/when Biden wins, there will be fuckery. January 6 was a dry run for the Republicans to work out the pesky wrinkles of democracy.
