GAY WATER CONSPIRACY

Most have a highly selective interest in the constitution.

Enjoy your temporary “furniture”.

Seriously. One of my new coworkers, who is voting for Hillary, was saying that while she really doesn’t want Trump to win she’s not convinced that Hillary isn’t “almost just as bad.” I mean, ok, I’m glad she’s casting the smart vote, but WTF? What news sites are you reading, girl? This girl is also super successful,…

Right. Ok. So, to win the popular vote, all a Presidential candidate has to do is pander to the top what....ten most populace cities in the country, and everyone else can go fuck themselves?

What? I always get an answer, something like: “Benghazi! Emails!” Then if you ask them for actual details they have no fucking clue. But they think they’re making a powerful argument just by saying the words.

But. but..they’re following the Constitution. They’re the Constitution people. Right?

I like when he calls journalists the “worst people on the planet.” The worst. In the same speech he talks about ISIS beheadings.

A-freaking-men!

The crazy thing about this “both terrible choices” meme is that people will happily say it but ask them for some clarification of why exactly Clinton is a terrible choice and you’ll never get an answer. Except for the real whack jobs who’s convinced the Clintons have a literal hit squad (yet Anthony Weiner is still…

A man at a Trump rally in Minneapolis this weekend sparked outrage after a Reuters photographer spotted him wearing a shirt that read, “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.”

There are many reasons why the tired “they’re both terrible choices” thing is so fucking ridiculous but this is a really big fucking one of them. And you’re right that it isn’t something that will be solved by him losing the presidency either. It’s terrifying to think that after all of this awfulness we’ve endured…

Who needs terrorists to disrupt a nation’s way of life when you can just convince half of them to hate their own constitution, to want to dismantle their own rights.

Except that the President is supposed to be elected by the states, not by the people. Because the United States is a republic of the States and the Federal Government is supposed to be the government of those states.

If Clinton is a murderer, why is Anthony Weiner still breathing?

I don’t get that logic. You’re worried that the Democrats would control the federal government, but if more people vote for the Democrats then don’t they deserve exactly that? Isn’t that democracy at work? Based on your hypothetical statistics, the Republicans don’t deserve to ever win because they don’t appeal to as…

It doesn’t matter whether we know the popular vote (as Tigrisan suggests here) or how quickly we know it (as Playtpus Man suggests below).

I do think a straight popular vote is ideal, but only if you have intelligent informed citizens. The downside to popular vote is politicians could then just focus on the most populous cities and neglect large parts of the country. A politician might spend a month in Los Angeles and never step foot in Missouri. An…

But that’s the thing, this system was put in place to protect against the popular vote voting in a crazy person into the Presidency (see Donald Trump). It may not be fair, but that’s life.
