dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Why would it be weird? USA commonly has the loser, the person not wanted as President, as President for nearly 3 months.

Yeah, actually, the rest of the world looks at your gestures broadly and think it's very weird.

Your weird ass constitution written by slave owners. Your weird ass worship of said constitution. Your weird ass electoral college. Your weird ass terms, term limits, arcane positions of power (what the fuck is a parliamentarian?). Your weird ass 3 year long election ramp up. Your weird ass first past the post system. Your weird ass permanent supreme court. Your weird ass corporations as people. Your weird ass 2 party system. Your weird ass election on a Tuesday. Your weird ass gerrymandering. Your weird ass 3 month transition period. Your weird ass hesitation to change any of these things even if a "progressive" holds power.

The Dem party has already said Biden is unfit to be the candidate. Their leader is not good enough to campaign, but they still keep him in the office over 3 months before the election while running the VP as the candidate. Why not replace him with the VP, that's how this is supposed to work. Why keep Biden as president for months?

Just because the US has one of the oldest and buggiest constitutions, doesn't help this make any sense.

The Dems did no such thing.
