Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden complained about states that voted for President Donald Trump in 2016 in a virtual endorsement from the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
(snip)
FMR. VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Well, I have to tell you something completely, honestly straightforward. I wish this were us doing this and my supporting your re-election for present of the United States. You won the majority of the vote. I think the way in which some of the states acted was just, anyway we would not, we’d have problems (emphasis mine), we’d have the pandemic but you would have already been prepared for it, it still would have been hard but you would have done a lot to keep us from getting so in such a dire strait.

Other FReepers might find Biden's assertion that Hillary as potus would have handled Covid-19 pandemic better as more salient.
NYS just cancelled its ‘Rat presidential primary, blaming WuFlu and Bernie.
Bet Joe don’t have a prob with that...
The media would hardly be covering the pandemic if Clinton had won. They would still be calling it an outbreak and there would be no hoarding like now. Big difference in how they would be covering it. It’s all about media cover. The media would provide all the cover democrats need to skate through it.
The problem is, most democrats have never understood the Constitution.
The socialist/globalists control the Democratic Party. They loathe the American nation and its heritage. It would appear that they have a bold plan to elect this demented, creepy old man as President. People will soon lose faith in national institutions and it would make them more amenable to world governance.
Biden needs to read Dale Carnegie
Dementia Joe needs to STFU and change his Depends.
Keep it up, BidenIdiot, no doubt you and your political handlers got everything under control. Way to garner votes tho, I am sure that if you call us “deplorables,” it will garner you even more votes come November. GG Dementia-ridden Idiot.
Joe Bidiot.

That goof is clueless about everything except how to hustle bribes and launder money,his family is Felon Inc.
Andrew Yang filed a suit to overturn the decision to cancel the primary.
Hillary did not win a majority of the vote. She won 48.02 percent of the vote.
A non-majority plurality.
We can divide the democracies into two groups: those that directly elect their head of government (e.g., France) and those that indirectly elect their head of government (e.g., the U.K.).
With our Electoral College, we’re sort of in the second group. (Yet, because of our “two-party” system, we could be said to be in a category of our own.) Other examples of indirect election:
Boris Johnson, UK - 42% of the popular vote (a plurality)
Justin Trudeau, Canada - 33% of the popular vote (not a plurality)
Jacinda Ardern, NZ - 34% of the popular vote (not a plurality)
Angela Merkel, Germany - 33% of the popular vote (a plurality)
In the countries that directly elect their head of government or head of state, almost all large countries have run-elections when nobody wins a majority.
France - run-off
Brazil - run-off
Russia - run-off
Poland - run-off
Mexico - not a run-off
Ireland, Australia and now Maine are interesting in that they have instant-run. You indicate your preferences when you vote, first, second, etc.
For example, let’s say in 2016, I marked 1st choice - Gary Johnson, 2nd choice - Donald Trump, 3rd choice - none. Then, when Johnson got eliminated for having no chance of winning, his votes would be re-allocated according to whether his supporters indicated Trump, Hillary or none as their second choice.
That is because they were sick of Obama-Biden for 8 years.
