Serf posted:this would 100% destroy any trust people have left in the processes of government And so what exactly? What trust do we have remaining? We just elected an emotionally unstable fascist. The electors, if they had any moral backbone at all, would do this, repercussions be damned (and trust me, the repercussions would be minimal because Americans simply don't give a gently caress anymore).

i think we should definitely just keep this sinking ship steady as we head towards the bottom. who's up for a rousing debate on the definition of "normal" in the meantime?

All of these calls to get the EC to vote for Clinton or some other candidate is loving insane and would literally cause Civil War 2.0 if it happened. We just need to spend the next 4 years harping on the fact the Dems won the Pop vote and work towards people actually getting out in 2018/2020 to make a difference.

Although any plan that involves Republicans not slamming down votes for an incestuous rapist con artist who is owned by Russia is a bad plan, see Hillary Clinton's campaign

Yinlock posted:the EC was made specifically to stop someone like donald trump and it's also directly responsible for his rise to power Exactly. It is naive to think that Americans would do anything at all no matter what the electors end up doing. The electors could convene and choose my pet cat to be our next president, and the vast majority of citizens won't react. The electors should absolutely try to prevent this catastrophe. The fact that they will not is morally shameful. Nichael fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Nov 22, 2016 |

I'm not a fan of picking on the children of the President, either. The attacks on Barron are starting to look like the Chelsea Clinton poo poo from the GOP in the 90s. It's gross. Pick on the man, pick on his wife, pick on his adult children, but leave the little guy alone. He's going to grow up all hosed up anyway purely on his wealth and the fact that his dad is mentally ill. We don't need to throw more wood on that bonfire.

Not necessarily from this forum, mind you.

Yinlock posted:you're right, a ton of people would regain faith in the democratic system disagree. the electoral college got us into this mess, and it will not be able to save us either Nichael posted:There will never be a civil war again. People on both the left and right who insinuate that are living in a reality where things matter and people care. Literally anything can occur now and people won't give a gently caress. Even Trump's worst ideas, such as the Muslim camps, provoke little to no reaction from the public at large. Do not underestimate American tolerance to the outright shameful and awful. I made that same mistake for the last two years and look where we are now. so it'll be less of a war and more of a slaughter, doesn't change the fact that it will cause millions of people to think of the government as a sham Yinlock posted:what about the mandate of having more votes the EC is what counts.

I don't know that we need to the EC to vote for Clinton. No one would trust her. Election is done and done. Rather, if this crazy idea gets done, the EC should just not vote Trump. Push it to the House and Senate to deal with over Christmas. We'll still probably end up with Trump/Pence, but it'd get people pissed enough to end the EC just in time for the next spirited charlatan to take us for a ride.
