How low must your standards be that this is OK to you!

In that interview, Trump first says that "mail-in voting is going to rig the election". Then he's asked if he will accept the results of the election, and he says, “I have to see. Look, you — I have to see. No, I’m not going to just say ‘yes.’ I’m not going to say no and I didn’t last time either."

That's not how a Democracy works! The ruler doesn't get to decide if he's going to listen to elections! He has literally no say in this matter, if the Constitution is to have any value at all.

How debased is America now? In Western Europe at least, we watch you with horror.

If any leader here even hinted that they might not accept the results of an election, let alone making jokes about "twelve more years", people would flood into the streets and shut the country down until they resigned. Except no one would be that fucking stupid.
