well, that's what happens when you have a government system that predates the telegraph and the steam train; might take the president-elect a few months in to town.

a lot of things in the us government are like that; they made sense 234 years ago, and only incrementally got updated as necessary.

Don't get me wrong, Britain can't talk about outdated systems with a straight face. A guy wearing a curtain carries in a gold rod before every session of Parliament here.

Depends how much/where. Wouldn't appear that Democrats are very good at it either way.

Regardless, this is how I saw it:
2016-D: Well, I guess you won.
2016-R: We won! 🎊🎊🎊
...
2017-D: We think the Russians may have interfered in the 2016 election.
2017-R: That's bullshit!
...
2018-D: Given how strenuously you're objecting to the Russian thing, we think you may have colluded.
2018-R: That's bullshit!
...
2020-D: We won! 🎊🎊🎊
2020-R: You cheated!

If it was just Biden's administration then there would be a lot of restructuring of national rhetoric stemming from public outcry. Standard issue of the left crying about anything, just that the right won't really have much to say on the matter except come up with their own take on the left and its current standing, as is conventional to say the least. It's not really bipartisan reaching.

If it was more the DNC administration and/or as well then a lot of leftists would probably have to look to more localized or non-partisan themed issues to take on a darker landscape until DNC regains trust from the public somehow.

I have already said on this forum that my flaming to be morally perfect was a cope but unlike a lot of other leftists, it seems, I actually try.

I'm probably one of the most Right-leaning people on this forum and even I think you are doing the Left a great injustice by comparing them to yourself. All you do is parrot the same ridiculous bullshit. Its gotten so bad now that you've resurrected this ancient thread just to parrot some more. And who are you trying to fool by claiming that you try anyway, us or yourself?
