Biden shit the bed and should fuck off. But I’d vote for his corpse over any filthy republican traitor.
Both candidates would be more attractive to me if they died actually lol I wish we had the option to just skip having a president for 4 years haha
Why is there no option in the US to vote no confidence and force both parties to reelect new candidates?
Because our electoral system was created 200+ years ago and hasn't had a major overhaul since.
The biggest overhaul was the Apportionment Act of 1911, which destroyed proportional representation in the US House of Representatives and Electoral College. If not for that, the GOP would have to move Left to gain support from high population states.
Oh, so 200+ years ago it wasn't so bad. LOL
That's the thing. It still was but in different ways.
At least as pretense, the primaries are meant to prevent the need for that. And we like to pretend a third party could be successful if the other two are sufficiently incompetent/corrupt. In practice, the lawmakers will never implement a process that gives any amount of their power to the people. There was a window of time in the 90's - 00's where we thought the future might hold something other than the cyberpunk dystopia we all see coming. Now I'm reduced to just trying to enjoy the last vestiges of the middle class before it's gone. Umm, but yeah, we should be able to vote no confidence.
Dunno if it's interesting to you, but communists in Russia often say that it can only get democratic again when the "against all" variant is returned to ballots (CPRF is usually not considered something genuine).
Jesus fucking Christ I hate that I can't tell if ur from the us or not cuz our constituency is so fucking dumb
A shame the electoral college voters won't feel the same way
