No… Seriously… Is this an actual thing? The whole world knows about how the American voting system works (or doesn’t ) and you have Americans who don’t?
It’s not. OP is mostly anti-Biden spam. Posting stuff like this is to obfuscate their intent. Make it seem like other people just don’t get what they’re saying.
I understand how the system of the country I live in works. I was responding to the comment that everyone in other countries understands how the system works in the USA.
I’m an American who has paid attention to and participated in politics for over 20 years and I still get confused, our method of electing leaders is seriously WTF.
the electoral college is only for the president, the rest is pretty on point. the only “national” election is when the electoral college votes (we don’t vote for the president directly, we vote for how we want our state’s electors to vote), and the rest is left up to the states (who love to make as huge a mess as they can of it), which is why the details seem obfuscated.
Lol no. Even the most disastrous military run regimes have multiple parties and dedicated seats for minorities.
Case in point: Pakistan
Everyone else looks at the American voting system like some haunted house with our dual parties, confusing electoral college for congress, first past the goal system, national polls vs gerrymandered zones, and that one time the SC somehow got to decide elections.
Oh and election day is still not a national holiday lmao.
I can easily count the number of people that I know who understand the electoral college.
Anyway, I’m not sure about the users here, but Whitmer literally just whined about people voting uncommitted in the primary because it was bad publicity for Biden. Like yeah, no shit that’s the point. We’re voicing our disapproval in poll that has nothing to do with the actual elections.
Think that is bad? Now try Americans understanding our own tax system.
I have grown ass adults routinely demonstrate they don’t understand tax brackets as recently as last year during our union contract negotiations. Motherfuckers arguing against raises because they think the next tax bracket will make them lose money.
So yeah, people thinking Biden criticism is Trump support is fairly commonplace.

This actually makes way more sense than expected
No we don’t. We just understand that you have some form of FPTP. Minutiae like primaries and stuff isn’t known about.
A lot of people are ignorant of the whole entire process. This is not an accident. If you educate your voter base, they might vote against you.

One of them seems to be the Michigan governor, even.
(See her criticism of the “Listen to Michigan” campaign.)
They know how it works. They just want progressives’ eternal silence.
No it doesn’t. I’m pretty interested in politics so I understand some of it
electricalelectoral college.If you’re pretty interested in politics you should learn how it works. I’m not interested in politics, but fully understand how they work.
And yea it is a weird and convoluted system, but it’s really not that complex or confusing.

Is it that different states have different amounts of electors based on population?
Lol no. Even the most disastrous military run regimes have multiple parties and dedicated seats for minorities.
