No, you’re the one desperately trying to rewrite long-established rules simply because you lost.

The reference is from the movie Dorkness Rising. You’d have to be a gamer to find it even faintly amusing.

Radically increasing the power of the Presidency/Executive was one of the worst aspects of GWB’s presidency, in my opinion.

No, her excess of votes that some whiny crybabies are trying to interpret as justification for overturning a 200+ year old system that works just fine, came largely from 2 states.

His craft (and hers, btw) is not about “examining the dignity of the human experience”...it’s glorified playing pretend.

We’ll dispense with NY for the moment. The fact is that Hilary’s famed popular vote margin was less than her margin in CA. Take that state out, and she even loses the popular vote:

I appreciate your points (truly, I do) but abolishing the EC would obviate a *key* characteristic of the US: that we are a (more or less) unified collection of otherwise-independent states. That was the KEY PRINCIPLE on which the 13 colonies unified.

There’s only about 8 people who try to post against the current here anyway. The feeling’s mutual.

No, but I think when the subject is US political consultants, working on US elections, on a US website, in a conversation that’s likely pretty much mostly Americans...I’m going to with “yes, dear, that’s what we’re talking about”.

I was looking in hockey too: 1945 Toronto Maple Leafs won Stanley cup, despite 24 goals for / 30 goals against....

Why would I care who won the popular vote?

Or the 1960 world series: Pirates scored a total of 27 runs (& won the series) vs the Yankees 55 runs.

You might want to look up what “democratic republic” means.

A Republican wasn’t elected against the will of “the people”.

“Organized labor has the potential to be one of the great forces for equality and sanity in our nation over the next four years.”

Do you just wake up in the morning fueled by hatred and venom?

That’s the problem with being a zealot; in this case your narratives “women are always the victim” and “Republicans (esp Trump) are the devil” get confused and paradoxical when, say, a woman does what she wants and doesn’t pursue your narrative.

You need to understand that the only PROPER response to Trump is breast-beating, garment-rending, wailing, teeth-gnashing tears.

“...feels strongly that everyone in the world must know how shallow and self-serving her personal decisionmaking process is...”

I will, no really.

I will, no really.
