"They don't like us and they think we're stupid"

Ah, trump has discovered US-americans' stereotype in many countries (that has already existed for decades at least).

Backwards politics and worse education will only strengthen that stereotype. The way to change that are progressive politics and huge investments in education.

Anyway that really is a mess for both. I get that the republicans sent Trump again since he got a fascism-like personal cult, but why did the democrats send Biden?

Can they still change their candidate?

Anyway this is a perfect example to show why a democracy should have more than two parties.

Yes, he is not the “official” candidate until the convention in August.

Anyway this is a perfect example to show why a democracy should have more than two parties.

Unfortunately, the way our voting works, it is nearly impossible for a third-party candidate to be viable.
