I would still think it'd be another reason for the EC to be abolished though. It's an unacceptable system even if it benefits you... and it has directly hosed the Democrats twice in sixteen years so it's doubly unacceptable.

In twenty years, will we get alt-alt right and alt-alt left and will that just be Bush Family Part 3 and Clinton Family Part 3? Because I'd be fine with that at this point.

Also, I'm glad that one Never Hillary guy in the picture got his wish and instead we got an orange Nazi. fair trade.

i think the original idea has merit, especially since it has been so rarely used really, but the fact that it was intended for the electors to be non-partisan disqualifies it from being used anytime soon with a straight face

The original idea has no merit in our society, which is ~230 years divorced from theirs, and also doesn't have loving slaves. It's a racist system that ends up disenfranchising minorities for "real America", when the whole notion of mono-cultural "real America" mattering seems to be the antithesis of the diversity this nation prides itself on.

i mean in a sense of a last resort for preventing someone like trump or worse from winning

i don't mean in it's current form, but just a sort of "break in case of emergency" option isn't to be immediately dismissed imo

If this doesn't warrant an emergency, then I can't fathom what would. Seriously, what would and also be realistically elected? A dude goosestepping around DC with a swastika on his forehead?

no that's what i'm saying; the original EC was supposed to be non-partisan so they wouldn't just vote with their party in mind, but would do it for the entire country, so when you have someone who is wholly unqualified and most people who actually know their poo poo, as well as foreign leaders all over the world, say "yeah this dude is dangerous as gently caress" there's a mechanism to stop it

not saying the current form/incarnation of it satisfies that, for obvious reasons, but i'm saying the idea of an emergency release valve so to speak shouldn't be lumped in with the current EC and discarded completely

not that i'd trust the current political class to make something better, but just for the sake of posting on a dead forum about poo poo i can't really affect, it's out there

anime game chat time!

just finished mute route of hate plus. welp. it's rather... relevant this year. the story of the neoconfucian revolution reminds me of a robert toplin's point that conservatism isnt actually conservative, but is actually a radical ideology designed to reshape society towards a mythical goal. in this case, a society with sharp class divides and limited franchise was transformed into joseon-era neoconfucianism. god knows what would have happened if cruz won. at least the right seems too divided to this pull poo poo of right now

the press emphasizes the women's rights theme, but there's a strong economic message as well. the pre-neoconfucianism steadily stripped economic and political rights from commoners, until everyone was destitute and illiterate and locked out of the ship's computers. all progress was halted, science and engineering was crippled so no new knowledge could be made. their destruction was inevitable, if it wasnt an angry girl despondent at her mortality and abuse, it would have been a peasant uprising or some internal palace coup that would have vented the entire ship, or the cosmic ray bombardment would have dropped the birthrate to below-replacement

fortunately, by all indications trump is a total idiot who won't consolidate all power into himself anywhere near as effectively as ryu. i hope

so let us work to safeguard a future that can equitably share knowledge and resources amongst all individuals, so to build a more robust society that face the entropy of the universe

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.
I'm gonna laugh so hard when Trump and Congress just go ahead and ratify the TPP once he takes office, I know people say it's dead but like everything else I don't believe they'll follow through. Nothing about the current Republican crop points to them opposing it, they've routinely poo poo on their vulnerable constituents in favour of corporate interests before, in fact a large number seem to revel in it. They all worship at the alter of Reagan and 'free trade', and the TPP is both of those things to all hell.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they will actually listen to the populist wave on this but I just can't believe it till I see it happen. Especially now that he's back pedaling on everything

Destroy the UN. IT is the beast of Revelation! It must be destroyed. America needs to get out of the UN and kick them out of America.

The 7-headed beast of Revelation chapters 13 and 17 - The G-7 of the UN.

The G-7 are the 7 heads of the UN, which have Veto power over any resolution that goes before the General Assembly for a vote. These 7 heads must be unanimous. The 7 heads are USA, UK, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and Japan.

The 7-headed beast suffers a mortal head wound. This is America.

Get out of it, Mr. Trump!

I think Congress won't vote for it. It's so unpopular that it may be used against individual congressmen, democrats or republicans in reelections. Which is a shame because the chief aim of the TPP is to contain China. I wish they had made something that was more palatable so that we had some option of countering Chinese economic dominance in the region.
