My PHUO is that the popular vote gaps in 2016 and 2000 say everything that you need to know about the legitimacy of US general elections, and focusing on step 2 of the below is how we resolve legitimacy issues:

1) One candidate wins most votes in a democracy.
2) (procedural stuff here)
3) The losing candidate wins.

Nah. The Carolinas and Texas has good BBQ and Nashville, TN produces some good music. Florida is absolutely worthless.

I've posted about comic sans, autonomous cars, and maybe a few other things, but I have a feeling this is going to be the most controversial of all: everyone always talks about how incestual that one Folger's coffee commercial is.

I personally don't see it.

The best solution would be to have two presidents after each election, with each governing the states that voted for them.

If this had been the rule last year, California, New York, Illinois et al. would today have Clinton as president while Texas, Iowa, Pennsylvania etc. would have Trump as president.

It is the only fair way.

While he's always been popular as a recording artist, I don't think Clapton's really been considered a big deal as a guitarist since about 1970 or so.

Unlike most really good guitarists he lived past his 20s so he just kinda slid into mediocrity.

Also his past racist rear end in a top hat comments have colored opinions on him.

I'm hoping that when he dies people will look back on Cream and Derek & the Dominos rather than his lame solo hits.

Lawdy, yes. Even worse is you risk probation for slight dissent or even questioning the tide. Back when GBS had occasional news stories, I thought it was pretty neat you had folks pulling from multiple sources to try and validate info in the thread. That never seems to happen in DnD where if it fits the political narrative, good, don't question it. If it doesn't, you're a bigot making things up lalalalala!

An echo chamber hosed us last election, I'm not sure what good doubling down is meant to do.

D&D is a worthless subforum and its regulars are idiots. I like how they still act like they know what theyre talking about too. Like they still have this smug air of superiority and "Im so much smarter than you :smug: ", despite the fact that they were all hilariously and colossally wrong about the 2016 US Presidential election. They also seem to think Prestor Jane is some kind of prophet too, despite the fact that she's always wrong about everything.

Hillary also won the popular by, what...3 million votes? It seemed tremendously bad for Trump so even the GOP was like "he won the primary, whatever let him run and lose."
