Exactly, if Harris wins there will be another election in two years.

If Trump wins, that's not a guarantee

Yeah i remember there were no elections in USA in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024.

So, I take it that you consider the January 6 coup a case of mild hijinx that hardly had any fatalities?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you ever seen any coup, especially the ones US generously showers over all the world in huge amounts? Compared to that it was a fucking picnic, cops went harder on every left protest in history of USA.

Also you did deflected: were there elections in 2018 and 2020 or not?

So, it was a coup?

And your question is completely silly. Jack the Ripper didn't attack every single night; does that mean he wasn't a killer?

Treason is funny; it only takes one single instance to mark a fellow for life.

I don't get it. Two years?

tl, dr = Congress is elected every two years.

[–] suburban_hillbilly@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

well, 2/3 of it anyway.

I guess it was too long a read.

One third of the Senate and all of the House of Representatives are elected every two years.

I guess it was too long a read.

I guess fractions are hard?

= 1/2 + 1/2 * 1/3

= 1/2 + 1/6

= 3/6 + 1/6

= 4/6

= 2/3
