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.

      How can people not see that given the current context, ranked choice pools only worsen the chances of progressives even being on the ticket.

          As if that was ever going to happen, everyone can wrap themselves in their solutions all they want. We’re long past fucked anyway

                  Oh it’s not? All I say is “maybe we shouldn’t allow corporations to literally buy all the politicians” and all of you people are like “i like it when bought politicians are legitimized by ranks”. If the shit-tier links presented above are enough to wholly sway you in implementing RC voting before securing your election system via delegitimizing legal bribery, then go ahead and listen. I simply presented an opposing opinion, one that is quite literally in line with the current status quo. You’re the ones out here trying to convince me. But whatever. Bots.
