  1. Again, it would count equally. You have no basis in saying otherwise. Just cultist talking points not backed up by facts.
  2. No. Ir would be controlled by ALL United States citizens. Why would that scare you?
  3. I'm guessing you haven't a clue about population density. Well, you are good at the dense part though.
  4. Really? Is this the talking point from Fox, Rush or some other "credible source"? Why would some have no voice if it was a direct vote? In fact, all would have an equal voice. Wouldn't this help drive more voters to the polls from all points of view knowing that it actually mattered? Look at it this way. How many more Republicans might vote in California knowing that a direct vote means their vote would matter? Same thing in red states for Democrats. Democracy isn't something to be feared. It also isn't a game to be rigged.
  5. He has tiny hands.
  6. Mob rule if each voter had equal representation in our country? It would be in control of all citizens equally. You have a problem with that? This from the fear of Antifa folks? That's beyond bizarre.
  7. No, that IS the bug. Disproportionate representation is the problem. It is broken because of that reason. How long will the masses accept that the one with fewer votes becomes president? You may say they have accepted this since the beginning of our nation, but it rarely happened. Now, twice early in this century it has happened. The last time by nearly 3 million votes. You cannot govern a functioning democracy ( don't give us that bs about being a republic) from a minority position for an extended period of time. Something will give.
  8. Wow. I thought UND's history department was bad. They must have been geniuses compared to Moo U. LMFAO.
  9. Because it gives disproportionate representation to smaller states over larger states. It is unbalanced. Wyoming voters have 1 elector per 150,000 citizens vs. California with 1 elector per 500,000 citizens. Now, if asked will it change? Probably not. It will be defended by smaller states that outnumber larger states wishing for a direct vote. Hard to chsnge the US Constitution under those conditions.
  10. But it is. Slavery determined the 3/5 compromise. This in turn determined that a direct election of the president would not be acceptable by the southern slave states because those in bondage could not vote. The electoral college solved that problem. Interesting how property per the later Dred Scott decision counted toward representation. These are facts. Not opinion. But, you've been processed by years of BS to disbelieve the truth. Even the UND history department used to tell us the BS about the Civil War was not really about slavery. What a load of crap. Believe whatever you want, not my problem.
  11. Actually, as a cultist you are beyond ridiculous. You also do not seem to possess any critical thinking skills. Which helps make you the perfect tool for Trump. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/11/electoral-college-racist-origins/601918/ Behind Madison’s statement were the stark facts: The populations in the North and South were approximately equal, but roughly one-third of those living in the South were held in bondage. Because of its considerable, nonvoting slave population, that region would have less clout under a popular-vote system. The ultimate solution was an indirect method of choosing the president, one that could leverage the three-fifths compromise, the Faustian bargain they’d already made to determine how congressional seats would be apportioned.
  12. From the mind of a cultist. Color me surprised.
  13. The electoral college only exists because of slavery. Period.
  14. Really? Scrap it? LMFAO. Too much vodka, da?
  15. Wel, bizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzon. Let me tell you something. True conservatives are also good for our country. Liberals are early adapters, which at times isn't a good thing mainly due to the unintended consequences of that change. True and reasonable conservatives can hold back change a bit so more of the consequences can be considered. Yes, liberals want more government oversight mainly because they see it as a tool for change. Conservatives prefer the government leaves it alone due to the nature of oversight and chsnge. Right now, it is totally dysfunctional. Mainly because the GOP trying to rig the system with voter suppression and gerrymandering. The outdated Electoral College doesn't help either. This is an attempt to shove the will of the minority down the majorities' throat. In 7 out of the last Presidential elections the vote went to the Democrats. It did not reflect that in governance. If it contonues without a correction, it will spiral even further out of control. That correction will hopefully occur in November.
  16. Pretty typical statement coming from a cultist. Also, don't assume that I don't like being called a liberal. I'm fine with it. No stigma to it. What have conservatives ever done to make progress in this country? Nada. Liberals/progressives are the change agents. Comservatives are the laggards.
  17. I always vote for two Republicans locally. They are moderates and have been true public servants doing what is right for our county and city. I was going to vote blue all the way down the ballot, but I don't want to lose their service to our area.
  18. Again, do you think we give a !@#$? Believe me, if the government wants to get you, they will. Now, live in fear cultist.
  19. Will he start chanting, "One of us. One of us."?
  20. And? You think we give a !@#$?
  21. The problem with the cult isn't that they are anti-Trump, it is that they are pro-USA. But, as a cultist go find your media source and regurgitate their talking points some more.
  22. A true cult member defends Trump no matter what evidence surfaces. A true cult member denies what is obvious to reasonable people. https://www.newstatesman.com/international/us/2020/04/americans-are-drinking-bleach-because-trump-and-still-republicans-stand-him Americans are drinking bleach because of Trump – and still Republicans stand by him Senators continue to insist that the problem is anything but the president.
  23. Thank you Mr. Obvious.
  24. Thank you for proving Law's point, cultist.
