Democrats Win Enough Seats Nationwide to End Electoral College

[Colorforms]

What about those who did most of the killing and dying to bring this republic into existence:

AI Overview:

"Lower-Class and Non-Propertied Participation: A large portion of the men who filled the ranks of the Continental Army and local state militias were ordinary farmers, laborers, apprentices, and non-propertied sons who did not own independent homestead."

What about them? I thought you already knew the rules. Are you trying to get me to negotiate with the founders? They're kind of already dead.

LOL so you're claiming to be the arbiter of god's gender now?

I know leftie fascists are obnoxious and narcissistic, but OMG, you can't even read a friggin map.

And, actually:

nonbinary (adjective)

1. not relating to, composed of, or involving just two things:
   "Aristotelian ontology is non-binary on the second level in that it allows for degrees of being"
2. denoting, having, or relating to a gender identity that does not conform to traditional binary beliefs about gender, which indicate that all individuals are exclusively either male or female:
   "the novelist identifies as non-binary"
   "non-binary people are vastly under-represented in the media"
3. 
   
4. It's not that it doesn't have a sex, it means its sex doesn't conform to male or female.

And god isn’t non-binary because…

That's the way the states set it up. It's the way the constitution was written. Lefties say they love the country, but at every opportunity seek to undermine it.

Blindly empowering elites at the general expense because self-dealing rich people set it up that way is not the path to success.

 

[EatTheRich]

I am neither an elite nor a dupe, but I am halfway intelligent. I agree with the position of the founders who were of the opinion that democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

I especially know it's true because the fascist left wants it, and the fascist left doesn't support anything that doesn't get them more power.

You are certainly a dupe if you take the rulers’ propaganda description for good coin. A more realistic analogy would be to say democracy is two lambs and a wolf voting on what is for lunch, and the Electoral College is giving the wolf a triple vote so the lambs don’t outvote him.

Fascism is a strictly right-wing political perspective that is violently anti-democracy because democracy means the victory of the majority and therefore of the left.

 

[EatTheRich]

A large number of people in the country were not landowners....but if they were white men, they could vote. There was no test of what land they owned to let them vote.

All the original states had property qualifications for voting. When Alabama became the first state to allow all white men to vote, it was a radical innovation.

Democrats Win Enough Seats Nationwide to End Electoral College

Enough state legislatures and gubernatorial offices have flipped to pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

newrepublic.com

This is what needs to happen. Hopefully it does. It is only fair that whoever wins the popular vote wins the election.

I swear I posted to this thread about the college being in the constitution and there being a legal way to amend it and that if it was done illegally then a state could become a nation state given the contract was broken by the U.S. government.

So now that assertion of truth was deleted? Dems have no hope in legally nullifying the electoral college. All you can do is use state legislatures to allot electoral college votes proportionally which was the original intent all along. ha ha

Whay are you replying to me about this. If you forgot where you posted something or if the moderators deleted one of your posts ask them. I don't have the authority to do anything to your posts.

What we have is not the original design or intent.

Well the "design or intent" was never to facilitate the efforts of those who want to vote themselves into other people's pocketbooks, that's for damn sure.

Pa. Const. of 1776, Plan or Frame of Government for the Commonwealth or State of Pennsylvania, § 6 (Every freemen of the full age of twenty-one Years, having resided in this state for the space of one whole Year next before the day of election for representatives, and paid public taxes during that time, shall enjoy the right of an elector.); sources cited supra note 26.
Ga. Const. of 1777, art. IX (All male white inhabitants, of the age of twenty-one years, and possessed in his own right of ten pounds value, and liable to pay tax in this State, or being of any mechanic trade, and shall have been resident six months in this State, shall have a right to vote at all elections for representatives, or any other officers, herein agreed to be chosen by the people at large; and every person having a right to vote at any election shall vote by ballot personally.

1. In the first place...most voters in our country have jobs and pay taxes.
2. The design of the Electoral College was a compromise with slave states which allowed them to pretend slaves were voting citizens.

The design is about electing a president. Not about welfare, Federal spending....or any other policy issue. Did you think it was designed to enable the destruction of the White House east wing? How about renaming historic places, like the Kennedy Center? Was it to enable the use of the DoJ as a personal weapon to punish critics and opponents?

1. Since when does that stop someone from voting themselves free stuff paid for by the wealthy?
2. So what? As currently designed, it comports with the Constitutional guarantee of protection for the minority's rights.

Again, what gender is god? If you don’t know the answer you can actually stop talking and save your dignity.

We don’t need to question.

God does not have a gender.

What word do we use to describe someone without a gender?

I’ll give you a hint.

Non-binary.

You (and Talarico) offer the perspective of a non-Christian. We are instructed by Creator Himself (Christ) how to pray, invoking “our Father”. This is not open to debate. If crazed leftists seek to invent a new religion, that is fine. You may not re-invent Christianity. Likewise, Tal is a parishioner of a church whose pastor contends Jesus Christ was not born of a virgin, and that He was not fully God.

Unchristian. Lefties, as always, wreck EVERYTHING they touch. Then they joyfully lie about it. You folks embrace evil, and evangelize it.

Carry on - but you will be called out.

As far as I know, the Catholic faith is the only one claiming Jesus was born of a virgin.
Hegseth's religion preaches women should not have jobs, shouldn't vote and should be completely...

Is that reinventing Christianity?

1. What does the electoral college have to do with voting for free stuff?
2. Guess you won't be getting your $5,000 check from Trump, eh?

1. It protects rights of the minority who are not socialists.
2. What does that have to do with protecting minority rights?

Bernie Sanders is also calling for sending big checks to all Americans.

Will Trump cultists support that since Trump proposed the same?

 

[middleview]

1. It protects rights of the minority who are not socialists.
2. What does that have to do with protecting minority rights?

1. How?
2. Is Trump suggesting a $5,000 check for your vote? Seems like free stuff.

What we have is not the original design or intent.

What we have is perfectly functional. Is understood in term of the rules of the game and finally is a fall back in case of national disaster. Say we go back in a functional sense to the mid to late 1800's. Where we travel and communicate like back then. We remain with a working system.

Finally, rule of law over rule of man. I'm tired of law breakers. They are dysfunctional citizens.

Unlike myself, you must really want that $5000 check, leftist sure post of it often.
$11 Billion in cash spent on the election, somebody got checks, come 2027, everything that goes on will be on dems, good, bad or ugly.
