Democrats Win Enough Seats Nationwide to End Electoral College

[RepubBub]

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.

I don’t mean this in a derogatory way. But do you happen to be autistic?

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.

Consider the math:
Rhode Island turnout in 2024. 63%. So the 55% that Harris got was awarded all 4 electors as if 100% of the voters cast a ballot for her. That was 285,156 votes.
Each elector represented 71,289 voters.

California:
Harris 9,276,179. 54 electoral votes....so each elector represented 172,781 voters. again, as if all 100% of California registered voters voted for Harris.

Add to that...there is no point to showing up for the presidential election if you are a Democrat in Texas or a republican in California or New York.

I don't see horse and buggy in our future.

Let me enlighten you. You fix it all including gerrymandering if,,, iff you district in an effort to match the number of registered party members. Let the voting rolls by party help determine the map. You'd then have to normalize the voter rolls, which Dems are loath to do, and figure out what to do with the registered independents.

And then allot the electoral college proportionately which is to a greater effect a popular vote like result.

So you think a solar EMP would leave us unscathed?

Let me enlighten you...no district gerrymandering would impact the popular vote in electing the president. In fact, district maps don't enter into electing the president, even with the Electoral college.

You are talking about the election of the House.

And god isn’t non-binary because…

Because non-binary implies a sex. You think God has a sex?

No, the use of "non-binary" is for the easily manipulated and completely ridiculous in reference to something that is beyond or without sex.

We were talking about taxation without representation in general (how literal are you going to take that unable to grasp the meaning?).

If 75% of California's voter registration is Democrat and the balance is Republican (forgetting the independents) then the congressional map should be constructed so that 25% of the congressmen and are likely to be Republican and 75% are likely to be Democrats. Should the registration proportion change so should the congressional map every 10 years.

The gerrymandering (which is cool according to SCOTUS btw) would be constrained to represent the party affiliation of the tax payer. We could even 1 to 1 map the electoral college to these congressional districts.

The electoral college is not particularly troublesome to get rid of. Hell just the historical nature/value of the college argument supercedes the value of your concerns when simply returning to proportional allocation is the quick legal fix.

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

Always an excuse to undermine the constitution. And you claim love of country.

 

[Colorforms]

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.

Fascism is inherently left wing, always has been, always will be. I know because you're inherently left wing and you support nearly all facets of fascism.

Again, you're wrong, and the proof is in the left's constant complaints about the electoral college.
fascists prefer chaos, it's easier to engineer a society when people are yearning for structure.

No more than you're retarded. Not to be derogatory.

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?

How unbelievably and horrifically FALSE. It’s rather central to the Bible. You leftists are positively demonic. Pure evil.

And…you do NOT get to remake Christianity.

@middleview

All Christians believe that Jesus was a virgin birth.

Catholics believe Mary was born...

AI Overview


The Immaculate Conception is the Catholic dogma stating that the Virgin Mary was preserved free from all stain of original sin from the very first moment of her conception in her mother's (Saint Anne's) womb. [1, 2]

What the Immaculate Conception Is

• • About Mary, Not Jesus: It refers to the conception of Mary by her human parents, not the conception of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit (which is the Virgin Birth or Incarnation). [1, 2]
  • Natural Conception, Supernatural Grace: Mary was conceived through normal biological means by her parents, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim, but God acted upon her soul at that exact instant to keep her "immaculate" (without stain). [1, 2]
  • Preservative Redemption: Mary was saved by Jesus Christ, just like every other human, but in a unique way. Instead of being cleansed of original sin after being born (such as through baptism), Christ’s future merits on the cross were applied to her ahead of time to prevent her from ever contracting original sin. [1, 2]
  • Full of Grace: Catholic theology connects this to the Archangel Gabriel's greeting in Luke 1:28, calling Mary "kecharitomene" ("full of grace" or "favored one"), indicating a unique, permanent state of grace. [1, 2]
  • Dogma Declaration: Pope Pius IX officially defined it as an infallible dogma of the Catholic Church on December 8, 1854, in the papal bull Ineffabilis Deus. The feast is celebrated annually as a Holy Day of Obligation on December

You said we weren't going back to horse and buggy.

So I asked you if you thought we were ready for a solar EMP.

It was at the bottom of the post. Like you didn't read the post but the first sentence or two and then divined what was said?

Wow...read the title of the thread...it is about the electoral college...not taxation. You have now meandered into districting, which is how we decide elections for the House of Representatives...and not the electoral college.

You have failed to actually address the disparity in the math of the electors associated with the national popular vote.

This is my post. You clearly didn't finish reading it... since you didn't answer the EMP question.
