@stux Really? Wow, I never would have thought you could support someone like Biden, yikes.

I honestly would have expected you to lean towards a candidate more in line with european ethics than someone like biden...

@freemo @stux
Current choices are only 2, so its about better rather then the best

#VOTE 

@mur2501 @freemo Exactly, Trump is like.. uh.. a fucking fuck face. Sorry, I only have hate for the guy

#VOTE 

@stux

Not sure what trump has to do with anything either.. there are more than 2 candidates on the ballot for president, there are 4, more in some states....

@freemo @mur2501 Alright, but from our (euro) perspective there are only 2 guys who can be the next President correct?

#VOTE 

@stux

No, that's not correct. Any of the candidates on the ballot can be the next president. If you get enough votes you become president, and all 4 are eligible to vote for them, so all 4 are eligible for president.

@freemo @mur2501 But why does it looks like it’s a ‘battle’ between red/blue aka Trump/Biden?

Isn’t it also very important on what ‘side’ you vote? In this case literally red or blue?

@stux

as for if it matters what side you vote.. not sure what that means.. you vote for people not parties. In the american system the party doesnt make a huge difference as there are no coalitions as in other governments.

@freemo I see, so kinda the opposite of what happens here I guess. Surely there’s a prime monster blabla, but the party is more important and in the US it’s the person instead?

That’s kinda fucked up.. Everyone is so different and how can one hooman make good calls on everything, that should be a team effort

@stux @freemo
Well yeah America is a pure presidential democracy so one person rules kinda. We all are parliamentary democracies which means parliament as a whole is more important.

Thats not even remotely true.. Our president has very little power, less than the other two branches of government. He cant really do all that much legally speaking, not on his own anyway.
