    We had more votes than did the Democrats. See this nation has the electoral college. Watch it happen this November too.

    What's really embarrassing, judging by some of these posts our school system is graduating kids who doesn't even know civics 101 and getting it from late night comedy shows .

    Do you even understand how voting works? Not your assumption, but an actual understanding? We don't elect our president based on who has the most votes. It sounds silly at first but their really is a good reason for it. It's so all the densely populated areas don't get to assert their own will over the rest of the nation. Otherwise the smaller states lose representation. The system is designed this way so California, Texas, and New York are not the only votes that matter. This way all states have an equal say in what's going in.

    I’m aware we have a system where votes are worth more based on where someone lives. A system that rewards states for being ****** places to live.

    I guess you would think it's ridiculous if one never leaves 5 miles away from where they were born. Come on be real we both have different values and core beliefs. I don't want to force mine on yours and I really don't think you want to force yours onto mine.

    I bet, their votes are worth far more than people who live in heavily populated states.

    If democrats win the majority, they have every right to pack the supreme court. There is no constitutional law prohibiting them from doing this.

    Elections have consequences.

    How so? If you do the math in say California it comes out to roughly 750,000 per house representative to wyoming's 575,000 house representative.

    I keep reading this reasoning, but I've never seen it cited. California and Texas weren't states in 1790, so maybe you could provide some contemporary quotes regarding Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina?

    The reasoning doesn't make much sense. It implies that people who live in sparsely populated states need protection from people who live in populous states. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

    Like CA, where 1,500 families are leaving a day?

    How does this court packing thing work, Dems add 6, the next GOP POTUS adds 12, eventually we have 50 people on the court?

    Ahh I see the problem. You take what you see of "The Left" from the media and assume that's how they all are.

    You have a country of 350million plus people. Their are a Lot of crazies and their antics get the most attention which drives ad revenue.

    I don't assume Fox or Breitbart or Rush et al as indicative of all Conservatives. You shouldn't assume the same for the left. Their are a lot of level headed intelligent individuals on both sides of the isle that can articulate well thought out arguments for all those things you mentioned. But that doesn't fit on a Twitter post or on a headline.

    Nope, that’s your assumption. I take the objectively reality based on events, statistics, personal experiences, and hearing the arguments straight from the horses mouth, that being straight from democrats both politicians and popular democrat pundits. Everything I described there is isn’t me taking what the MSM says, thats what dems do. I do my research, and the reality is I am objective correct in everything i described there. Ofcourse its never 100 percent every person, but it is a significant majority.

    None of the things i mentioned have well thought out arguments. It’s fake narratives, and compete nonsense supported by the overly emotional. I’ve seen plenty of dems who are articulate in their misinformation around things such as white privilege, yet the facts still dont support it regardless of how articuate they are.

    There is no such rule, the Senate can act as it sees fit in it's advise and consent powers. And the changing rules was brought about by the DEMS the REPs have finally said they will play the same hardball. And you are correct so if the REPS hold the Senate and Biden wins you will have no complaints if they add two more seats for him the nominate and they can confirm? They could make it 8-3 Constitutionalist v Progress.
