I don't want Abrams tainted with this horseshit. I have high hopes for Abrams 2024

Legal thrillers and smut.

It's only ironic if you assume the system isn't working as intended. 

My explanation for the HRC hate has always been a combination of the multi-decade media hit job put on her by conservative media, combined by the fact that people—really, men (not all, but a vast number)—seem to really dislike the grade school goal-oriented-girl-who-always-does-her-homework, and every successive…

First, we should probably have admitted that we don’t live in a Democracy when in 2016, the person who got less votes for President won the election anyway. For the second time in less than 20 years no less. 

I’m pointing out that it’s a weird way for this to work, and can only be justified through a lens of charitable social equity—i.e., these voters are owed a voice despite being lame ducks, so we’ll give them one.

Oh, and you should definitely go vote on 3/24. If Stacie Abrams could come so close to winning the governorship despite the other guy literally cheating, I have to believe GA is a potential swing state in 2020—particularly if the Dems are running an old white moderate. 

tl;dr - Abolish the electoral college and give even the smallest pockets of democrats everywhere a voice and leverage in the general.

Does it further validate the electoral college or illustrate why we should abolish the electoral college?

I understand the (small ‘d’) democratic principles underlying the system operating as it does—and there’s no good faith argument that it isn’t charitable, virtuous, and righteous. But that basically just justifies why the primary system operates to give certain voters an amount of influence over Democratic Presidential…

Most of the states are WTA in the general election; as I’ve said elsewhere, if most states were not WTA in the actual election, it would make more practical sense to take every Democrats’ preference into account because, theoretically at least, even small blue districts in otherwise red states would be able to…

The idea is that you’d give priority to the states that actually contribute to Democratic Presidential victories—why does it matter who Californians want to be the nominee? Because they’re one of the handful of states whose votes actually ended up counting in favor of the Democrat in most elections.

WTA in the actual election. If you could carve up the electors, the primary process would make more sense to me overall, as individual blue districts would have something to contribute, even if the rest of their state were a sea of red.

These are states that get a say in choosing a candidate they generally cannot actually contribute to getting elected to national office. I understand the basic democratic principle at play here—but the reality is that Mississippi Democrats could have abstained from voting for President in every election going back over…

Isn’t a little funny that winner-take-all states almost certainly guaranteed to go for Trump are counted for the primary? From a practical perspective, what does it matter if Democratic voters in Mississippi and South Carolina want one candidate or another, if their electoral votes are ultimately just gonna go to the…

Anti-white hate crime? Christmas came early for FN and its viewers! 

It’s uselessly reductive and inaccurate to say that every voter old enough to not be considered part of the youth vote, but young enough to not be the demo most vulnerablet to coronavirus (i.e., under 60 or 70), is a ‘moderate’.

There’s a whole world of voter between “the kiddies” and the main at-risk age group.

Okay, they’re not all gems, but I think “Is my value based only on your perception? / Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?” (to the extent that she actually wrote it) shows a good amount of wisdom. If she can actually internalize that, she’s going to be a much happier, more self-actualized person—which is…
