Shit a bigger brick than after the election of Trump by the majority who didn’t vote for him? Very hard to imagine.

We don’t have to work on only one problem at a time.  After Bush and Trump fixing the EC is a priority.

That’s nonsense. You can’t say you believe in one person one vote and favor the EC as it currently operates. The popular vote is not and would never be a “tiny elite”. It’s by definition a majority of the voters, or at the very least a plurality for the most preferred candidate. You are making the very obvious fallacy…

Articles on this topic should include a reference to the National Popular Vote movement.

You’re wrong. The EC doesn’t have to be changed, just the way the states require their EC delegates to vote. The movement to make the EC consistent with the popular vote is well underway, and could easily work without any Constitutional or federal law changes.

Yep. It’s happening.

Not true. The Constitution leaves it up to the states to determine how their EC delegates vote. The move to fix the EC and make it consistent with the popular vote outcome is well underway. Twelve states and DC have already passed the law, accounting for 181 EC votes.  With 89 needed to reach 270, the magic number,…

The only honest argument for the EC is you prefer the beliefs, values and priorities held by the minority and you want a better chance of being able to impose those on the majority. Every attempt at being “rational” in defense of the EC is just transparently anti-democratic.

Is there a record kept somewhere for how many lies can be packed into so few words? A lies per words ratio?

Came to post this “make sure your network isn’t running on the same channel as theirs”.  Problem solved. 

Yeah, I know.  The implication was clear.  It is funny how defensive the other side of the pillow fight got.  They have to dream up something to try and win the tug-of-war over the market for watered down piss.

Did Bud claim corn syrup is unhealthy? If you mean alcohol, then lots of recent medical and health stories make that claim.

This is America where child abuse through withholding vaccinations for those too young to choose is perfectly fine. Woohoo!

Any pilots who can comment on how the 2nd crew who flew the next day and crashed weren’t warned by the 1st crew who narrowly avoided disaster, or by whoever the 1st crew would/should have told about the “anomaly”? Is this as monumental a screwup as it seems, or is there some rational explanation that let’s Lion folks…

I have no problem with sane people calling Trump out on his insanity. Baiting him is an effective way of continuing to force him to reveal his weakness. I don’t think Mr. Conway has stooped to Trump’s level and I don’t think he’s lost in the exchange, but Trump certainly has. School yard invectives thrown at adults do…

Big enough scandal, but pales in comparison to McConnell refusing to even consider Obama’s nomination for the court.

You have a very perverse view of “winning”, common, but perverse none the less. Anyone with the sensibility, perspective and judgement above that of a 10 yr old sees Trump simply revealing what an infantile, mentally and emotionally challenged, fool he is.  In an adult that’s the opposite of winning. In a President…

I believe it will happen.  Bush and Trump are more than sufficient evidence that the current system doesn’t work as well as we need it to, and a lot of folks are motivated to change it.  It may take gerrymandering reform to make it happen but that’s being worked on as well.  Things are trending positive.

It’s not an amendment you ignoramus. It’s bills being passed in each state. No change to the Constitution required. 12 have already passed it, and DC. That’s 181 EC votes. Once enough states pass the law to total 270 EC votes the die is cast.

FU. Enough States are going to pass the EC law so that a majority of voters will determine who’s President. Gerrymandering will be improved so State legislatures and the House will be more closely democratic. We can add seats to the Supreme Court to allow it to better reflect the will of the people. You want the…
