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 ranked choice voting should only be implemented when the electoral system isn’t a broken mess?

        Your problem is not with Ranked Choice voting. Your issue is with the fact that you’re jaded with the political system that you’re in.

          Lmfao okay, well jump from crazed whataboutism to just plain insults, but I’m not wrong in my interpretation. If Citizens United wasnt around, if SCOTUS was different, if so many other things. But implementing RC without them is a death sentence

            You brought up whataboutism.

            How is your jaded view an insult?

            You have strong opinions about a country’s politics that you don’t live in.

        If it wasn’t a broken mess, why would anyone be wanting to change it?

          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
