I have asked nicely. If you can't use self control, it'll have to be applied for you.

The EC isn't outdated, it's just that few understand it. In our federal system, the loci of government reside in the state capitals. Every state has its own election laws, subject only to the loose framework of election laws established by the federal government with limit set by the constitution. Ergo, there are differences in eligibility, balloting, etc. from one state to the next. For this reason there are no national elections. All elections, to the lowest of offices, are governed by state election law. It would make no sense to usurp 50 sets of election laws, covering tens of thousands of elections every cycle, to alter how one election is decided.
How’s it going tex? How are you and your famil? Not seen you for a while. Hope everything is ok
 
So I'll conceed the unremarkable Biden may win now, not too bothered about his domestic politics but how will it effect us? He'll be president during a key period of pushing the global economy out of lockdown and our first brexit steps into trade deals, does the special relationship still apply? How's Biden on NATO and defence?

It'll be like having Young Mr Grace from Are You Being Served? running the show.

He's ****ed, way past his sell by date.

China and Putin must be pissing themselves
 
Interesting... Trump's announced a presser right outside the building in Philadelphia where the mail-in ballots are being counted for Pennsylvania.

That's not shifty whatsofuckingever.

Also, coincidentally, there's an anti-Trump rally in the city around the same time.

I have a feeling it might get a tad ugly there. A repeat of the Brooks Brothers riot looks likely.

I think the better question would be, how is Harris on those issues.
