Of course, these are Trump-specific problems. The most recent one-term presidents (Bush Sr. and Carter) didn't act like this towards the guy that beat them. Most people wouldn't. But if Trump can be president, anybody can, so something like this could happen again.

it has never made sense to me to allow the loser to remain for 3 months. absolutelyt bizarre.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
Bidenunder normal circumstances, functioning adults with some sense of duty and responsibility execute the transition.
There are a lot of moving parts to a transition. Lots of preparation, staff, etc. There are also the number of procedural hurdles to certify/verify the election.
With that said, I would love the whole process to be shrunk down. The presidential election shouldnt take 2+ years.0 -
Biden6 weeks in canada. 6 weeks.
what I find incredible in america is how people complain about the president golfing, but are ok with him travelling the country, campaigning for himself for 18 months, essentially not doing his day job. so if there's no campaigning, what else ya gonna do? might as well golf.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

Once a Prime Minister wins the election they become the PM. Then nothing happens until they choose the cabinet and the house resumes?I always did find it odd that the old government sits in power for that length of time in the US.

Think of how much money was wasted on the campaigns of people that didn't come close to sniffing the nomination. Kamala Harris spent $25 million and didn't win a single delegate. Michael Bloomberg spent a BILLION DOLLARS and all he won was American Samoa!

BidenIt's simple: Rank Choice Voting, campaign finance reform. These two movements alone would reduce the length of elections, the power of political parties.0

If we had solid representation, then we would have solid policies that wouldn't make a charity a charity. They would be a required service that all citizens can take advantage of without the charity fearing that they won't have the funding.0 -

Bideni have been saying for years that we should not have a 2.5 year campaign for a 4 year job. it is just fucking insane."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
