Good luck getting politicians to support an idea that takes power away from the states that currently decide who controls 2/3rds of the federal government.

I just imagine them salivating over finally burning the safety net after all these years and legislate themselves into a ditch. To slowly break it down to make it go unnoticed seems uncharacteristic of current gop

Serf posted:people are still mad that the dems won the popular vote by a pretty wide margin but still couldn't cobble together enough states to win the EC, which seems nonsensical at first until you realize that means the party is incredibly out of touch with america in a geographic sense. only bad dems are arguing for getting rid of the EC, the rest of us would rather reform the party into something that can actually win Bad dem! Bad dem! Sit! Now, stay! I'm not a pet, I'm part of the minority vote and lol if the party thinks they can't lose that. If I can't even speak on certain things with my supposed allies? Do I have allies?

It would be a valid point even if Obama were white. If they were that racist why were they so keen on supporting a dem that wasnt going to do a bunch of racist poo poo? Maybe at least some of them arent that racist.

If they were that racist why were they so keen on supporting a dem that wasnt going to do a bunch of racist poo poo? or maybe it's just that racism is not necessarily a bunch of guys in hoods screaming "white power," but rather encompasses a wide range of attitudes toward many different groups of minorities. it's possible for someone to vote for a black guy and still hold racist attitudes that causes them to buy into the idea that mexicans, muslims, foreigners, and their establishment collaborators are the reason why things are not good. it's fairly absurd to act like it's not a pretty significant factor.

Tight Booty Shorts posted:This conversation has been hashed out thousands of times and there's no real good reason that we need the EC other than it's the only way we keep the "advanced" (lol) states like Cali from just destroying smaller states or not helping them as part of a union. Which to me is a good enough answer.. I was not here when this consensus was reached. If you see my reg date I haven't even been on this site that long. The responses I was seeing was basically this is how this works so stop being a sore loser, Trump won fair and square, what do you know about the Midwest. It's very different to say, as you have here, that they would not only lose some political sway but also collective bargaining power for specific resources. This is something I can understand. Not "Stop calling rust belt voters idiots!" I never called them idiots, uneducated does not mean stupid, but does limit your information. Also, I'm not a neo-liberal? I was willing to vote for one to keep racist internet troll out of office. Granted I wanted to feel good about my choice. However my ideal choice has never presented itself. I've looked at my entire voting history as an exercise in choosing the lesser evil.
