I'm seeing a glimmer of hope in Georgia. The polls are dead even and the GOTV effort has been phenomenal. We do have a legitimate shot at winning the senate.

It is for sure a possibility. There are a LOT of Trump supporters who are very disheartened by voting right now, and they very well might stay away. I think it will close for both races.

Congrats, you did it!

This is one of the dumbest posts I've read on this board over the years.

San Francisco to rename ABRAHAM LINCOLN High School because — I swear this is real — "he did not show that black lives ever mattered to him"

What's the first thing you think of when you hear "Abraham Lincoln"?

Right. He's the president who freed the slaves.

Wellll that's not good enough for the contemporary Woke Mafia. Sorry Abe, but you're getting canceled.

Committee Recommends Changing Name Of Abraham Lincoln High School Because He Allegedly Didn’t Prove Black Lives Matter

The San Francisco school district renaming committee reportedly wants to strip the name of former President Abraham Lincoln from a school over racism.

San Francisco is really renaming Abraham Lincoln High School and really said it's because Lincoln "did not show" that "black lives ever mattered" to him.

THE GUY WHO FREED THE SLAVES.

I swear this is real.

"The discussion for Lincoln centered around his treatment of First Nation peoples, because that was offered first," chairman of the renaming committee and a first grade teacher Jeremiah Jeffries said, according to the report. "Once he met the criteria in that way, we did not belabor the point."

"The history of Lincoln and Native Americans is complicated, not nearly as well known as that of the Civil War and slavery," he said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "Lincoln, like the presidents before him and most after, did not show through policy or rhetoric that Black lives ever mattered to them outside of human capital and as casualties of wealth building."

"Uprooting the problematic names and symbols that currently clutter buildings, streets, throughout the city is a worthy endeavor," he noted, according to the report. "Only good can come from the public being reflective and intentional about the power of our words, names and rhetoric within our public institutions."

You can't make up this stuff

You might be right, but there is already a groundswell of getting rid of it that is bigger than before this fraud nonsense. We will see. One person, one vote SOUNDS reasonable to most people (because it is), even IF their ideals would be challenged more greatly.

I hope the EC goes away. I am just having a hard time seeing the path by which that happens.

The arguments are already there:

"If you REALLY care about election integrity, get rid of the Electoral College. What is easier to count and manage than one person, one vote? No talk of dual electors, no thought that your vote doesn't count. If you live in Montana, your vote now hardly matters. 3 electoral votes? You might as well not even vote. If the Electoral College is disbanded, your vote matters as much as someone's in California."

Now, of course reality is that a vote in Montana technically holds MORE weight, but it is very easy to see how people might stay away from the polls when they see that their whole state only has 3 electoral votes.

Waiting for the snow storm in NYC. Feels nice to be safe at home with food and all sorts of comfort.

Two questions for the day:

1) Will Congress finally sign a deal about a relief package? That's insane that nothing has been done since spring. Benefits are running out, businesses are closing...I'm lucky to work, but still, I've reduced my Christmas gift budget because of the uncertainty.

2) Has anyone of you watched the movie VICE about Dick Cheney?

I started watching it last night on Hulu, and not sure what to think of it. I love Christian Bale, but the narration and creative direction felt wrong, and the script seemed caricatural. Was Cheney that bad? The writer makes him look like a terrible man: drunk, not very bright, opportunistic, cruel, etc.

Hey Trollminator, I have an idea for your trolling of the senate races in Georgia. The new angle to get Trumpers to not vote or even vote Democrat is this:

"We need a liberal congress so Trump can win in 2024. If Biden is allowed to pass his crazy socialist agenda there will be such a backlash that Trump will cruise to victory. So we are better off with Democrats holding more power."

The m@ga-babies will eat it up.

Funny enough I've seen this suggested a few times on parler, try to time the pendulum swing. The main boycott the vote arguments from trumpers is just that the GOP needs to suffer for not backing trump and that "we the people" refuse to relinquish the party to the RINOs. I see lots of post saying they prefer democrats over traitors.

I hear you. I just can't imagine it happening. It only takes 13 state to NOT sign on to a proposed amendment for it to fail.

I just don't see how Montana votes to cut its influence on POTUS elections in half. Same goes for quite a few others. Then add in the GOP states that are NOT tiny (by population) and you are WAY over the 13 required to squelch any proposed amendment.

And this does not even consider the nearly insurmountable obstacle of getting 2/3 of the House AND 2/3 of the Senate to approve such an amendment in the first place.

You stated the core problem with any such effort in the very first phrase in your argument: "If you REALLY care about election integrity..." That is obviously NOT what folks REALLY care about.

Did you ever see a kid scream out, "That's not fair!" in order to protest a situation in which they themselves held an undeserved advantage? Of course not. Kids use "fairness" as a cover for advocating their own interests. The same thing applies to "election integrity."

Make maggas cry again.

The only way for it to happen is if a presidential candidate runs and wins on removing the EC system, and their party takes the house and senate majorities. Even then the chances would be slim because of what/who they'd be up against. It would be literally a war against the conflict of interest money machine.

I can see a potential path to it if the EC system veers off the tracks significantly (e.g. they gave their votes to trump so he can win) and/or if we have enough consecutive winners who didn't win the popular vote. We can't write it off as impossible but I just don't see it.

Also, if trumpers are getting this worked up and distraught over a legitimate democrat win, imagine the response when it's suggested that we remove their only tool to getting a republican in the WH.

But but but just leave everything open with no restrictions and business will prosper.

The electoral college isn't going anywhere - not in the lifetime of anyone on here anyway.

Getting rid of the EC would require people/states voluntarily giving up disproportionate power. That is not something that people/states usually do.

Human Nature 101: Whomsoever has power, clings to it.

I agree it won't go away, but mostly because it's hard to make any major change.

Many states that seem to now have disproportionate power could later gain power with a popular vote.

Take Texas: Their winner take all has sent all of the electoral votes to Republicans for decades.

Over 11 million people voted their this year.

They could stay red but you could easily have a Dem win the EC vote and lose the popular vote without Texas.

There is no guarantee that today's state with disproportionate power will have that same leverage in the future.

Every state leader wants all of their electoral votes to go to the winner - until that winner is from an opposing party.

It may have been useful if John Kerry won Florida in 2004.

Then you would have had consecutive elections with split decisions but with opposite parties winning the electoral victory.

Maybe everyone would have agreed to a popular vote winner and tried to do something about it.

Please call your high school civics teacher and ask them why what you said is utter bullsh!t. Things like the EC should not be this hard to understand.

You left out John Brennan, James Clapper and Michael Hayden.

And now you can add Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger to the list.

13 states with 2% of the national population can block any constitutional amendment.

But there is an alternative path. Once the National Popular Vote Pact goes into effect, the electoral college becomes formality.

After all, the state legislature gave up their power by ratifying the 17th amendment. So nothing is impossible.
