I think it shows that, as much as Progressive positions have...uh, progressed, it’s still got a long way to go. Most polling has her well behind both Biden and Sanders and now probably even Beto.

She’s really putting forward legitimate policy proposals on most everything and it’s genuinely impressive. I would hate to lose her in the Senate, but honestly she is steadfastly at the top for me at this point.

I think there is a potential for proportional distribution. I mean there is a general loss of influence at the state level, but as it relates to the Federal Government elections, should individual states get more influence?

Clearly they want to be the new 90’s Cowboys in the internet age.

A few points. My wording is poor, so I can see how it can be read as 50% of all EC votes. It was not intended to indicate that Republicans can get 50% of the total 538 EC votes with 16% of the population. It is that they can get half the needed 270 with only 16% of the population.

Have those in opposition to Trump been particularly violent, anymore so than the groups he’s emboldened to violence in the last two years? The man can’t not hedge against explaining away any failure, and he’s only become more and more adept at steering his supports to unquestioned faith.

Look, I get why the EC and Senate exist. That doesn’t mean that there existence is not open to criticism. I will note, as many have pointed out the creation of the both wasn’t quite as cut and dry as we like to make it. There is a lot of nuance and context to consider when forming a Union of States that have vastly…

You are all over the place here. First, it’s worth noting I was simply responding to your comment that no one cared about the EC until after Trump was elected. Being a liberal site has no bearing on that being untrue, because someone did care. In fact many people did.

That is unequivocally incorrect. This site (or it’s predecessor at least) has pointed out the problems with the EC for years;

lol...wut? Trump is guaranteed half the necessary Electoral College votes even though the states they’re from represent roughly 16% of the population.

There will almost certainly be violence when Trump leaves office, although I’m still hoping it will mostly be in smaller and localized areas (not to diminish that). But he was greasing the wheels for blaming his loss in 2016 and he’s doing it for 2020. Now he just has the position to also advocate for people pushing…

I still maintain his decision to turn down the contract in 2017 (which I believe, he initially wanted to sign) was the big mistake. That offer was only 3 years (getting him to free agency again at 28, next year) and the first two years were similarly structured to the first two years of the 5 year deal he turned down…

Holy hell this comment gets a lot wrong.

Brown had tons of leverage, too. That I’m sure played a factor

Julio Jones is on deck.

Seems Arsenal should be a lock for top 4 considering they have zero games against other top 6 teams, and every other team has two games against other top 6 teams.

Perfectly said

I get what Frum is trying to say but he more captures the broader issue with our government than he makes a convincing argument for stronger borders. He manages to both be wrong and highlight a serious limitation of the America electoral system.

Frum and many of the Never Trumpers consistently get wrong is the size of the population that is terribly concerned enough to willingly go fascist, and thus tips his hand.

It was a rage throw so it was no where near the kid, so he didn’t even budge.
