That's what the presidency and the house are for. Take a 4th grade civics class ffs.
Lolz, that is pretty fkn dumb, even by your standards.
This is not hyperbole: IF "4th grade civics classes" existed (f***** stupid), and adolt or any of the Trumpers were forced to use the "logic" and consistency that they show on this thread daily while taking such class, they would fail it. Simple, and NOT an exaggeration.
The adults kick your ass daily on this thread, and little Bobbie and Susie would kick your a** in that class.
California and New York are losing population and anti-religious liberals do not have children.
You haven't thought any of this through.
And before the stupid people jump on the "do not have children" I mean they rarely have more than 2 if they even have that many. This is why Europe is dying.
This IS consistent with the frequent "Russian troll farm" suspicions on this website. Who the f*** says "4th grade civics class" ??? Twice.
My son's in 4th grade right now. He knows more about the electoral college than any of you idiots arguing that it isn't fair to the big states.
Troll's attacking that comment with a personal attack because he can't defend his ignorant position on the government.
You're attacking me because you're still butt hurt I called out your stolen valor.
Months later and you're still crying yourself to sleep over it.
lol.
Slow on the up-take, like usual: NO ONE believes that you have a son (....and DAMN are they hoping that you don't).
I attack you because you are, far and away, the largest POS on this site. And your constant lying about actual veterans is ONLY but another bit of proof about that. Oh, and it's fun.
Do yourself and everyone else a favor and TRY to come up with a new (perhaps non-masochistic) hobby.

Yes I know you're really unhappy I called out your stolen valor....
You lying about being a combat vet doesn't become untrue because you're tired of hearing it.

Ah, the mix of Republicans and the Proud Boys. Smells like...Constitutions burning.

William "Billy" Chrestman, the U.S. Army veteran and Kansas City Proud Boy who rallied others with an ax handle at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was sentenced today to 55 months (4.5 years) in prison.
So you want the 80 million people in NY and Calif. to decide all elections? Does that seem fair to you?
Without an Electoral College, we would end up with "mob rule." If we had that, a presidential candidate would only need to campaign in 3 states (IL, CA, NY) more specifically in Chicago, Los Angeles & NYC and thereby ignore the rest of the country.
The Electoral College isn't perfect but the alternative is much worse since millions of voters outside the above states will have essentially no voice.
Combined population of Chicago, LA and NYC = 14.8 million
Population of US outside of CH, LA, NYC = 321.1 million
Quick quiz: Which one of these two numbers is greater than the other?
I know it's a tough question but give it a shot. If you need help, ask your friend Sally the Mathematician.
Why does Trump feel he deserves immunity from criminal prosecution?
I don’t need immunity. My friends don’t need immunity. My family doesn’t need immunity. All previous Presidents didn’t need immunity although one would have liked it so he wouldn’t need that pardon after he resigned. Mayors don’t need immunity. Lawmakers don’t need immunity.
What gives?
It’s almost like Trump is a blatant criminal that has been criming for decades.
"If the President does it, it's not illegal." -- Richard Nixon (post-Watergate, in case that wasn't clear)
That's not even close to the his best quote. One of his economic advisors gave a verbal report on the Italian Lira. Without missing a beat, Nixon looked at him and said, "Who gives a &$*% (starts with "s") about the Italian Lira!"
And, this, which is probably his best quote, and applies here many times over: "Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself."
Definitely his best quote. Can you imagine trump coming up with something like this? lol.
Republicans would flip against the electoral college in a Charleston (either WV or SC) minute if it worked against them like it works against the Dems.
Or if the EC ever did what the writers of the Constitution intended it to do: Stop people like Trump from being president.

So you want NY and California deciding every single presidential election? Does that seem good to you? They are very liberal - is that why you want them deciding the election?
A person can support AND disagree with a provision of law or the Constitution. Many Democrats disagree with the Electoral College in part because it has resulted in 2 Republican Presidents in the past 25 years who did NOT win the popular vote. Republicans would likely be against the EC if they were on the losing side of this equation a few times.
But Democrats did NOT unlawfully attack the Capital in either 2000 or 2016 when they won the popular vote and lost the Electoral College. Trump lost both the popular vote AND the Electoral College in 2020 and his supporters refused to accept this and attacked the Capital, injuring 150 police officers, looting and vandalizing the building in an attempt to overturn the result. Trump supported this criminal activity.
INCORRECT!
Many of them carried flags! Therefore they are TRUE Patriots!
That's why I can only offer ridicule to these idiots.. they are irretrievably lost.
Blue states are dying if you get the popular vote you're so desperate for it will blow up in your stupid face very soon.
You are irretrievably short sighted and ignorant.
Your default repetition of this is proof of how incapable you are of any critical thinking. Or did you simply skip over the key part about fair voting process in a democracy?
Now let me ask you something that might just cause permanent brain tilt. When you say blue states are dying do you think those voters are literally dying, or have you considered the possibility that they are actually people and continue to have similar political views when they move somewhere?
Or do you think they automatically turn into "red voters" if they move to a red state? Would I just turn into a Republican if I decide to move to Texas for cheaper housing and warmer weather?
I think I'm just starting to appreciate your level of stupidity here. How do you get through the day?

LOLz could you seriously imagine carrying this around and believing others admire your patriotism?
Nixon is an interesting character right now...he's a reminder that politics were very dirty and very nasty a half century or more in the distance. Nixon was an awful piece of work - alcoholic, foul, mean, unlikeable, perfectly willing to break laws and rules...politics used to be run in a much more jungle way than it was in the Carter to Obama period.
I mean if you go back to the 1H of the 20c you actually DO have people bussed in from Mexico to vote and then bussed back out again and that kind of thing. Complete corruption in elections. Now we are so squeaky clean.
Well, we were until Trump turned the R party into an image of his own corrupt self.

Of course! Do you see just how aggressive and immediate the "we'll do anything needed to own libs" reactions are when you raise any point about democratic practices and fairness?

We're not a democracy you mental midget.
Population stagnates when the majority of the people are leftist. Leftists do not have children. While the religious people who vote overwhelmingly Republican tend to have more than 2 children.
As far as moving from blue states to red states goes, yes most blue voters are too stupid to comprehend that their own votes caused the problems they are running from and continue voting like idiots in the new place. They will get outbred in the long run.

as I said, as many people have IQs under 90 as they do over 110
let me guess, moran: We are a representative republic, not a democracy. You dolt.
