As I recall, the original Swapnote got killed because it allowed people to send photographs, with predictable results...

I doubt anyone would be able to abolish it completely, but I think the system will definitely get a revamp. Even our current “winner takes all” system we use is more out of habit than how the electorate system is required to work on paper... That’s the tricky thing about the college, really. There isn’t really one way…

I’d bet cash money right now that the next Democratic nominee is going to run on a platform that includes abolishing (or at least, restructuring) the Electoral College system. This is twice in just 5 elections that the Democratic nominee who won the popular vote didn’t get into the white house because of the Electoral…

Sorry, usually if they make a big change like that, they make a note of it. You should probably edit your own post to clarify, because I’m guessing you’re going to be getting replies on this all day.

“Update 1.5 is now live on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.”

Oh, I’m not accusing him of being anti-semitic at all. I don’t think he’s mentioned Jews at all (although Bannon has made comments about judaism). But Trump’s rise to power does follow a similar trajectory to the rise of the Nazi party. I’m sure there are other political groups who have risen using a similar rhetoric,…

I wonder... if the rumors are true that Trump is literally on drugs... does he still get them as President? Like... is that the kind of thing that can be delivered to him regularly under the table, or is he now under too much scrutiny?

I’m sure you’ll get a lot of angry responses to this, but although it seems like you may be over reacting, the truth is that the rise of the Nazi party in Germany was shockingly similar to Trump’s rise to power. Like Trump, the Nazi party focused much of their campaign on demonizing citizens of minority groups, and…

I think that’s true, but I’ve noticed there’s more an attitude in Conservative circles that you’re not allowed to criticize the country itself, and if not then they often propose that critics should just leave the country entirely, as though they don’t deserve to be there. There are certainly some Liberals with the…

I feel like a lot of people voted against Hillary on the grounds that she’ll probably do something they disagree with if she wins the presidency. And maybe she would have... but for any of her supporters that would come as a surprise. If, five days into her Presidency she suddenly went, “Oh, by the way, we’re starting…

The craziest thing about that is this attitude we often see of “If you don’t like it, get the hell out”, coupled with “This country is going in the toilet and it’s all because of liberals”. It’s this weird attitude that you’re only allowed to criticize the country in the specific ways that country singers approve of.

Does this thing come with an HDMI cable, and if so, how long is it?

It’s pretty much the same look I had on my face when we were getting past 200 electoral votes for both candidates, and Trump had a 30 point lead.

I feel like, in a more genre-savvy world, Pence would just be there as an assassination deterrent. I remember there was a joke in a Dave Chappelle routine where he said if he was the first black president he would have a Mexican vice-president, so that racists wouldn’t assassinate him and risk opening up the border.…

Still, I think it depends on the sport for exactly how you determine a winner. Some games don’t allow a win with a single point... for example, in tennis you not only need to score a certain number of points, but you also need to acquire two more points than their current score. It helps to avoid fluke victories...…

I think you’re misunderstanding what I meant... I was just talking about how the electoral college does not fully represent the wishes of the citizens of a state. Like... let’s say your ordering pizza for an office party, and 49% of the people in your office are vegetarian. It would be weird to just buy all meat…

I think it’s fair to say that the reason a lot of people voted for Trump was because they felt he was the candidate most likely to to try and provide them the jobs they’ve been losing over decades... but the point of the section you were quoting wasn’t “these are the things that helped Trump win”, but rather, “these…

I wonder if there would be this overt fear from the other side if Hillary had won. Like... would children be going to school honestly, and perhaps not unfoundedly, afraid that they or their loved ones will be kicked out of the country? Hillary, like all politicians, poses a vague threat for people who don’t support…

I wonder how things would work if the electoral college was forced to split the votes of each state by percentage. For example. Florida’s race was so tight I don’t think they settled it until past midnight, and even so Trump had about 2% more support in Florida than Hillary did... yet he benefits as though he had…

You sound racist.
