Only, the President/Vice President (they are elected as a pair) are not elected by popular vote, but by a complicated system called the Electoral College, in which people actually vote for Electors, and not directly for their preferred candidate. It is possible to be elected president even if you received less popular votes than another candidate, if you received more Electoral College votes.

+1000. It actually helped quite a bit, in spite of gray skies, cold breeze and temp in the 40’s.

Highly recommended.

Well... yeah, I guess.

OTOH, I must admit the most intelligent discourse about politics -- including dramatically antipodal polical views -- that I have ever seen on an internet forum was courtesy of Velocipede.com (aka, ATH) back when they were active in their OT subforum. Apparently some cyclists can talk comprehensively *and* respectfully about politics!

I think back in the day was the key word. Then facts were basically agreed upon, now beliefs are facts. Hard to have common ground to build a discussion on in the current climate (oops, that is political).
All the best America, the rest of us need you all to be doing well.
