do you guys think that there's a possibility that the Electoral College thing the states proposed ever gets around to passing? I like the idea of apportioning votes since it seems that every state has forgotten the original purpose of the EC

All the states that would benefit from it are already signed on, at this point they need to start recruiting states that would lose influence under it and/or are controlled by Republicans who like how the EC distorts the vote. So likely not any time soon.

Even in that situation it should be eliminated, it's mathematically possible to win the presidency with something like 21% of the vote (in a distribution totally incompatible with the real red/blue divide, but still).

if i was a football man, and i got the ball and unexpectedly broke through the lines to have a clear shot at a touchdown, wouldn't i rightly be called a massive loving idiot if i ran around in circles like a panicked idiot because i had only planned to wait out the clock on the game?

This current situation is like getting a critical interception, then realizing your entire team is defense and all they ever do is block the nearest player on either team even when the QB is searching desperately for an open receiver.

US politics is now Breaking Madden.

As a non-Tweeter, what are ratio trends?

To make a long thinkpiece short: The ratio between likes/retweets (people who approved of the tweet) and replies (people who had a bone to pick with the tweet). Way more of the latter means you probably hosed up.

The latest iOS has a semi-secret button sequence to quickly disable biometric unlock until the next non-biometric unlock, there's probably an equivalent for other major phones. Everyone should look up what theirs is, just in case.

People remember that the Bush era led to the Obama era, so nothing he did could have been all that bad and it wasn't the End of America. There are right now no such assurances about Trump.

Who was Reagan's VP, and who came out of the Nixon-era White House. It all goes back to Nixon and the Southern Strategy y'all. gently caress Ford forever for pardoning that piece of poo poo.

Really, it goes all the way back to Aristotle, which is why in 2020 I’m voting for Lyndon LaRouche

When you think about it, Abraham Lincoln was one of the worst Presidents of the United States for supporting regime change in Mexico against the legitimate Maximilian government. Such a shocking act of wanton imperialism against an modernizing and reforming monarch must go down as one of the evillest acts of the United States of America.

And he got more Americans killed than any other President. What a monster

It's going to be like that quote about the Civil War and slavery. When you know a little, you think Obama was a good president. When you know more, you think Obama was a bad president. When you know a lot, you think Obama was a good president.

I saw briefly something about a write in candidate in Alabama, some former aide to John Kelly. Supposedly he’s running independently, but...when would we find out if he’s got RNC support, if any? I’m super curious if he’s an ‘official’ spoiler candidate.

He's not going to get RNC support because an officially sanctioned write-in spoiler is practically guaranteed to hand the election to Jones.

Are there any contingency plans should Bernie ever fall ill due to his advanced age? Does he have a protege waiting to take over? It seems awfully messed up if the only credible left wing voice in america is an old man in his 70s.
