Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Context? What is this pro-confederate sad about and looking for a silver lining for?

Listen, while the point of the EC is to stop people like Trump and all that, they just won't. The EC is made of a bunch of spineless cowards and idoits, just like most of government. They will let Trump walk in as a facist leader, destroy this country and all it stands for, and be left questioning "how did this all go so wrong?" in 8 years. The government has failed us, the people have failed us, and the EC will fail us.

That doesn't mean we take it lying down, but what purpose does yelling at people to vote faithless serve? It's a pointless exercise.

that doesn't mean we should give up immediately though

there's value in trying something even if it fails, it sends a message to others both for and against

Yeah, I know the faithless elector thing is doomed to failure, but it's still worth trying if only for the message.

Trump is inevitable. There is literally no way to escape him.

The Electoral College isn't going anywhere either. The Republicans need it to win and the Democrats need something to blame for their failings rather than attempting to make real change. It is useful to both sides.

I don't think it's a likely thing, but it is a possibility. Obviously we're going to need to do more things but my problem is that the motivation for most people won't be there except as a reaction to Trump's hosed up actions, not as a preventative measure. The EC thing is the last preventative measure we have within the system.

This time next year, he'll still be around 42% positive, it'll take until 2018 for him to drop to 17%.

I don't think the average Trump supporter understands how any of this works, and would view faithless electors as liberals trying to rig the system. And of course FoxNews would run with that narrative as well. It's no-win.

GOP electors are never going to vote for Clinton you dumb turds. The only *technically* possible out here is if you get 37 GOP electors to vote for someone like Kasich or Romney and then throw it into the house and hope the GOP Not Trump prevails over Trump. You will never, ever get 37 GOP electors to vote for Clinton or the GOP house to vote for Clinton.

Also the GOP would likely fall apart but you'd likely get a warmer general public reception to this than you think given the garbage approval ratings of both Trump and Clinton.

we're not saying it will happen, just that it should

this is somethingawful, we obviously hosed up big time for the most part on predicting poo poo, this is a discussion and it goes all over the place

but i guess we can only talk about things that are likely, like sun rising in the east and setting in the west and not much else

The sad truth is, Trump could commit mass deportation (that results in millions of death) and could construct concentration camps, and most Americans will not care at all. Nothing matters isn't just a meme or a joke, it's the reality of our situation.

A faithless GOP elector revolt for a Kasich/Romney ticket is probably the only actual chance to not elect Trump. If you bring with most of the OH electors, grab a few from WI, MI, and PA, and then grab some Mormon electors from out west you might get close to the 37 required to throw it into the house, and if you can grab enough democratic house delegations to support the Kasich/Romney ticket over Trump you might actually pull it off.

Still less than 1% chance but I guess it's technically possible.

Trump is putting racist conspiracy theorists into the upper echelons of power and is stoking anti media sentiment that is absolutely going to end in journalists being killed. People are unitonically saying heil Trump. At your thanksgiving table there's probably going to be a few people who would jump at the bit for internment camps. This isn't about making cnn not poo poo, this is about making it so that the free press gets to survive. Trump is doing nothing to ease fears that he's going full fascist, he's too busy making sure we all know that's what he's doing.
