      I don’t think a president can decide how elections are done, for obvious reasons. Thats definitely for Congress and individual states to decide, moreso the latter as each state decides how to alott their EC votes themselves.

        Did he try? Was it even part of his agenda?

        No, because he doesn’t want it to change. Because he’s a plutocrat.

          He shouldn’t try, thats what despots do. Trump can try changing how elections are done and maybe the good people fight him off or maybe this country gets what it deserves and sets an example for future generations.

              No, they don’t, because any individual in power who changes elections is always the person you don’t want changing elections.

              You have to realize that any singular person cannot comprehend the relative good or bad of their actions and therefor all good moral principles come from selflessly putting that power in the hands of voters.

              If people want to change how voting works, they have that option. The USA are just dumbasses who keep voting against it.

              It is not and was never Biden’s job to fix everything at every level of government.
