It does happen. Prolly not in the US these days though.
Well the rest of the world certainly hopes so - and not necessarily because Biden is a good choice - he's just "the other guy"; the Non-Trump candidate).
Agreed. The next POTUS needs to be a highly skilled negotiator (with the US Public first so they calm-TF-down, then the ROtW so we can calm-TF-down). I'm not sure if that's Biden, but I don't think it was Warren or Sanders.
I'm not saying he's virtuous, or indeed that I either like or respect him - I'm very glad he did not become POTUS. Just saying he was the only one with the guts to stand up to Trump and the GOP in the impeachment, knowing full well he was the only one and that his voted counted for jack. The rest hid under their desks like scaredy cats in a thunderstorm.
In a normal situation yes, but these are bizarre times on a number of fronts. We've already seen him speculating about a 20 year (or something) Trump dynasty. Certainly hope it's the case that the election is conducted/won/lost within the usual parameters, otherwise it could get way out of hand over there, which will destabilise the ROtW, and embolden one or two other countries even more.
So what would they do? Storm the WH as an anarchic mob? They tolerated Trump getting the EC votes with a 3mill popular vote deficit, and they tolerate the various gerrymanders, and they seem to tolerate the guff about mail voting being a bad thing even though the chief whiner does it, and they even tolerate having to queue for hours to vote a few times each election cycle, so.....
(by contrast - and this is with compulsory voting here, as it should be - it takes me about 10-15 minutes to vote including travel to/from, and plus Sausage Sandwich purchase and consumption time).
