Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?
BadmanDan@lemmy.world 11 months agoYeah I read about the 70 electors in swing states that are Trump loyalists and election deniers. How these people are even allowed to certify votes is beyond me.

I mean, I’m still confused as to why a guy who caused an insurrection in the capital is even allowed to run for President.
Our country is a weak fucking joke.

Yeah, he should have been executed for treason.

And its sad because kids are growing up today and have a poor taste for the US. Which is sad in itself.

Because it system if government was setup with certain assumptions of the time.
Only rich landowning white men would be voting. Those men had the time to stay educated on world events because of either slaves or staff running their day to day business.
Certain customs were socially enforced simply as a matter of course. Scandal often meant resignation or recusal, or you would be ostracized from society entirely. If no one would work with you, your business, and wealth would die.
