Electoral College Revolt Growing Into 'Powerful Show of Force'

How's the LMAO electoral college revolt working for you now?

 

Homosexual rights.

 

Not they do not, go read the Constitution. How the state electors are chosen is ENTIRELY up to the state legislature of that state, it is not a federal matter. And it's not a matter of should, it IS going to endure because you will never get 3/5's of the states to support an amendment to change it. You do know that initially the state legislatures choose the State Senators. The founding fathers envisioned the House representing the People and the Senate representing the States. We need to repeal the 19th Amendment and go back to that.

You mean they didn't rush the platform and take over the inauguration and call Hillary up and swear her in???????????....

 

If which state is someone's vote given less weight than someone else in the state when they vote for their state electors?

You do realize the Federal Government holds no elections at all.

And I am not familiar with ethics being an entity can you elaborate on this term

A right is not an entity and which of our basic rights has something to do with ethics? Ethics are social constructs, some embodied in the law some not.

 

If the DNC hadn't sand bagged Bernie, he may have been the candidate. L'il Debbie lost her job over it. For all those who hate the Electoral College, think about this. The DNC has 'super delegates' for a reason and that reason is to ensure that the candidate the DNC picks will win the primary. All the states where Bernie whomped her, she was awarded the delegates, so all those who voted for Bernie, and won those states for Bernie, thier votes didn't mean anything. It's OK to stick it to Bernie with DNC super delegates and disregard the popular vote, so think of the EC as being 'super delegates'.
The DNC hasn't always had super delegates, but we've always had the EC.

 

Trump is already the most unpopular of all presidents since the end of W.W. II. By the time he is done he will be more hated than our boy emperor George W. Bush. Have a nice 4 or 8 years.

I hear play dough and a nice quiet cry room will help you. And that's coming from some our leading universities.

 

If Trump accomplishes just half his agenda he will not only have 8 years but will have run circles around your pal the obamunist.

 

Well, Clinton also won the regular delegates, not just the superdelegates. Though I would agree that the superdelegate thing is not a good thing for the democratic party.

 

You know what I mean.

I am not sure if you can understand if you don't understand my example. The right frequently says the unborn deserve rights, the right to life. This is not a legal right given the status quo, but rather an ethical one (albeit misguided in my view). The right to equal treatment under the law, at least as an "ethical right," should be seen as violated by some states having disproportionate weights compared to their populations. I am not attempting to use official terms, but rather describing my position in a way a right-winger could understand by comparing it to an issue they care about.

 

This is exactly my point when I said you repeat the letter of the law. You keep trying to tell me how things are, when the entire point is that I want it to change.

It is only a matter of should because that is the only way I have been discussing this the entire time. It is possible that someday Americans will be smarter and be willing to make improvements, or that America will someday collapse and be replaced, but I am not even talking about that, I am talking about what would be better. Sometimes things cannot get better anytime soon, but that doesn't mean I can't talk about what would be better.

There now you've made an assertion like mine. I could tell you "oh that'll never happen," but that would miss your point. Why do you think it would be an improvement to go back to how it was done before?
