Outdated constitution

[Zam-Zam]

1. Not really. It just gives a homogeneous, politically backward rural mass a special advantage at the expense of the big urban centers that are the loci of almost all the diversity, allowing candidates to focus on winning over that one uniform sector while ignoring the many urban groups a candidate needs to please to win a popular election.
2. Another way to put it would be that it gives special interests leverage to usurp political power at the expense of the majority.
3. In other words, it prevents voters fed up with the same old, same old from voting for change by entrenching the bipartisan Establishment.
4. By privileging states at the expense of individuals, it helps cement in place a repressive, statist system of federalism that by turning states into independent centers of class warfare help prevent the oppressed from concentrating their resistance on the national government.

I predict the electoral college will outlive all of us - and by a good deal.

I'm fine with that. It's all good.

Gosh, people need to know. Example of manipulation.


"Just in time for Constitution Day, CNN’s dwindling audience learned that the Consitution of the United States — the oldest written government charter in the world and the document that gave birth to the nation that has spread democracy around the globe — has become so “outdated” that it’s actually a “threat to democracy.”

Of course, that’s democracy as CNN’s scholars understand it. And you can’t spell ignorance without “C-N-N.”

CNN Gets Roasted for Absurd Chyron Warning Constitution is 'Outdated, Puts Democracy at Risk'

The genius of the Founding Fathers has never been easy for the left to accept. Now, they're attacking it a "threat."

Just the usual misleading, deplorable winger jive. Two professors say something and wingers pretend it’s CNN saying something.

Disgraceful.

Dawg and righties don't want dem votes in Texas to count...

If a voter in any of the fly over states voted for the loser you'd say their vote didn't count? The only way their votes count is if they voted as the rest of the majority in their state. What if they voted as the majority of the country did and the loser still won the EC?

Wingers that are TRULY interested in democracy should focus on states like Wisconsin, where the GOP is strangling democracy. Of course, wingers don’t really care about democracy - they care about their GOP cult. If something increases the power of their GOP cult they support it, no matter how much it tears down democracy.

It’s just how they roll.

Seems many regard politics as a team sport....as long as their team wins, all is good. If their team loses....it is because somebody cheated.

Remember Florida 2000? Clearly Bush's campaign chair/secretary of state helped tip the scale.

No doubt. Katherine Harris tilted the “victory” to GWB. An election that was REALLY rigged.

One purpose of this post was to let folks see what they consider a "reliable" source. I get tired of people questioning sources all the time instead of paying attention to what might be some good information. Yet they tend to quote CNN which I consider marginal at best.

In the meantime for those who tend to trash the constitution they need to either get busy with new amendments or write and vote on a whole new one. If they can't do that they need keep quiet about the whole thing and just obey it.

Leftists don’t do introspection and self-examination. There is no appeal to awareness that one can make that can elicit reconsideration. It’s like talking to insects. Whether or not capacity to listen exists…capacity for reflection and change does not.

It sure would seem so.

Rightists don’t do much introspection either. Especially these days when a large percentage of them refuse to even consider that their standard bearer might very well be a traitor, a criminal and a pathological liar. Trying to convince them that this may very well be true is like trying to convince flies not to eat shit. My point being is that political hacks exist on both the left AND the right. However at this point it certainly appears that a greater percentage of these shit eaters are on the so called right. Take the writer of this OP for example. See what I mean Rick?

When engaging in your “introspection” do you consider how dishonest it is to claim that CNN said something that was actually said by two professors?

There are MANY of us who rip Trump on here daily. We tear into McConnell, McCarthy, etc. PJ lefty, however, refuse to hammer their own. You do constant apologetics for Biden, all of his family members, Pelosi, Schumer, etc, etc.

Lefty CANNOT introspect, self-examine, or reflect - EVER. You guys just DON’T do it. Whatever recessive gene that causes you folks to be collectivist statist leftists also seems to BLOCK any semblance of reflection and reciprocity. The posts here tell the tale.

Do you ever do introspection? How about self-examination? You rarely post on the topic and devote most of your energy criticizing those who are left of you with odd personal insults that mean nothing at all in the scope of what the thread is about.

It probably will live on...but if some states decide they've had enough of it, it will become less of a factor. I posted the popular vote web site...check it out.

Here we have lefty now wholly excusing and divorcing LEFTY networks from the content provided in THEIR programming and at THEIR INVITATION. If a conservative network gave voice, say, to some stooge kook white separatists from Hayden, Idaho…do ya think PJ lefty would screech about how unfair and dishonest it is to criticize THAT network? Of course not.

Once again…zero reflection, zero humility, zero reciprocity, and ZERO integrity from the leftist. These folks are filth.

Really? Many? @Sickofleft , @protectionist , @reason10 and @Dawg still post that the election was stolen, in spite of all evidence to the contrary. They still resort to attacks on judges and prosecutors for indicting poor Donald and attempt to focus on Hunter Biden as a Trump defense.

When was the last time you criticized those posters for their lack of introspection? Oh...you don't.

Wow...link to one post of yours that you think exhibits "reciprocity"....I won't even bother challenging you to show where you brought integrity to PJ.

So should CNN have censored those opinions?
