What’s the trend on 18-29 yr olds who identify as Republicans? If the total is shrinking and the hardcore remain the anti-LGBTQ total could be staying the same or even shrinking and the percent increasing.

Doubt it. Every car on the road today is running with a tank of highly flammable liquid fuel. We’ve just gotten used to it, and insurance takes it into account already. Batteries will be made safer than gasoline.

You’ve pretty consistently tried using straw man arguments. I did not once contend a popular vote would prevent us from electing idiots. The bogus argument I often see from the right about change is it won’t be perfect. It only needs to be better. Of course there is no guarantee, just as you can’t guarantee the EC…

Let’s see his tax returns for the past decade, all the translator notes from the private meetings with Putin, the contents of the private emails and messages on personal devices by Tbaby, Ivanka and Jared, and the full Mueller report. Then we’ll see if any apologies are warranted.  In the meantime you can start on…

You’ve simply confirmed a fear of and aversion to democracy. Appealing to the founding fathers and what they intended is vacuous and utterly irrelevant to our society today. They intended and enacted all sorts of things that are without any question whatsoever products of their time, education, experiences and…

All I see in your arguments are rationalizations straining to maintain the possibility that the values, preferences and beliefs held by the minority can prevail over the majority, and a disdain for democracy. I assume you see mine as the other side of that coin. You can pretend you won, you didn’t. There’s strong…

“’Populist’ candidates, are by definition trying to rally the majority against the minority elites. Multiple shitty leaders have taken over countries including our own with the popular vote. But in spite of all this, the system works and survives.’

I’m old. I still have loops that play in my head from sports I played when I was a kid. I can’t imagine Dawkins living with this one.

And Tacko wasn’t called on a blatant foul on Zion a couple minutes earlier.  Not a partisan.  Heck of a game.

“This is how the system was designed. Not just no mass violence, but the longest running democracy in existence.”

Your intentional blindness is pathetic. Or you really are just stupid.

The 3 richest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 50%. Who caused the Great Recession, and who was bailed out and protected? You’re notion of who’s stealing from whom is totally nuts.

You’re a great example of why we need to have the majority decide who’s President.  Thanks.

If you think Bush and Trump being gifted the Presidency after receiving a minority of the votes is the way our system should work because there wasn’t mass violence as a result, we have nothing to discuss. One of the key reasons for the EC was to protect against the election of an unfit President. Clearly it has…

You’re confused. The EC has nothing whatsoever to do with representation in Congress, where all the laws are passed, and all the federal judicial appointees are approved. The national direct vote movement is not trying to change the allocation of representatives in the Senate and House. The EC is only relevant to the…

Currently EC votes are based on each state’s vote, but once enough states pass the NPV agreement all their EC delegates would vote for the national popular vote winner.

That’s an opinion. There are good reasons to believe your opinion is incorrect.

As we often see in these comments you are conflating Constitutionally protected rights, human and civil rights, with majority rule in electing the President. It’s a silly, straw man argument.  The three richest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 50%. And you’re worried about protecting those three. I have diffe…

Living up to your name. We’ve tried not democracy and see how that’s working. I’ll take “stupid” democracy for a change and adjust as needed. Protecting administrative units is pretty far down my list of priorities.

“There is no support for your assertion. Only confirmation bias.”
