DEBATE ANALYSIS
Trump Lies & Biden Stumbles.
Donald Trump lied throughout the debate and often simply ignored the questions he was asked.
Trump said NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE and nothing to indicate he is capable of leading the country in these turbulent times.
President Biden stumbled at times during his responses, but his answers were truthful and detailed.
The winner was President Biden, but only to those who cared about the questions.

It was Word Salad of Truth v. Word Salad of Lies. There were no winners but America lost.

To teach kids about democracy, I let them vote on dinner.
They picked pizza.
So I made bangers and mash because they don’t live in a swing state.

States are alotted presidential electors according to population. 48 states* then antidemocratically award ALL their electors to the candidate who wins the state, thereby disenfrancising all who didn’t vote for the winner. If all states split their electors according to state vote totals (*like ME & NE do) then the Electoral College would always match the popular vote AND no one state could reasonably throw the election (which was the ECs purpose) Its a simple fix really.

the EC was put in place by the founding fathers because they had a fear the populace would elect a demagogue, and the EC they thought could filter that out
ironically, the EC gave us a demagogue in trump. so the EC didn't even work as intended, and created the problem instead of preventing it
