    Fuck Trump, but tbf people shouldn’t be allowed to be in office if they could die tomorrow from old age.

      It’s hard to understand for a non American, how it can be a Race between these two and only these two. This two party system seems so absurdly stubid. Not that we have it figured out anywhere else much better, but still.

        If we had Ranked Choice voting, we’d likely have a much more diverse candidate pool. It’s not a perfect solution, but it is better than what we have now

        And trying to convince people to vote for someone else just increases the chance of the worst of the two winning.

        It’s technically NOT a two party system. However the two major parties so dominate, that it’s rare for a third party candidate to get elected to any major office.

        I think the biggest difference is we’re not a parliamentary system that encourages coalitions. Whoever wins, wins.

          The bigger issue with third parties is that none of them actually bother to run anyone at a local or state level. If they started to grow their power and voting base normally, bottom-up, they’d have a lot more success than just sticking up a Presidential also-ran every 4 years and maybe a congressperson here or there.

      I mean, any president can die in office to be fair, regardless of age, hence we have a vice president to take over in such a case

        Last American president to die in Office was actually youngest American president ever.

      Isn’t Trump only like 3 years younger? By yhe end of his term he’d be older than Biden would be at the start of his.

        Biden also eats healthy & exercises every day. Trump hasn’t exercised since he was in his 30’s & has never seen a Big Mac he didn’t eat.

          That’s not true. I’m pretty sure one of his former staffers said he threw one at a wall once.
