No it wouldn't, besides, I've done nothing to lobby for it...and I abhor the thought of going through it again...it's over..but come next election it seems a valid point of contention to address.
yeah....we know this because it's how it works now...has little to do with the issue except that you seem to favor the electoral system as is
http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-election-final-20161209-story.html Start with California, where Clinton beat Trump by almost 2 to 1, amassing a margin of more than 4.2 million votes. That’s a victory more impressive even than Obama’s in 2012, and it included a win in Orange County, which had sided with the Republican in every presidential election back to 1936. But Clinton’s huge majority in the nation’s largest state was also part of her key weakness — a base of support too concentrated in the big, urban areas of the northeast and the West Coast. If Trump spent time and money in California, Clinton might have won big still - if by 2M votes, Trump is barely behind in the national popular vote. The evidence is clear enough - in Democratic strongholds he did go after, he actually won the state.
I do. The country should not be run by LA and NYC. A nobody from Plains GA should have a chance to be even considered.
LA Times. LOL Effectively discouraging Trump voters to go out and vote. http://www.latimes.com/nation/polit...lectoral-map-of-the-1478473458-htmlstory.html Our final map has Clinton winning with 352 electoral votes. Compare your picks with ours.
This, this, this and fucking THIS. This is the entire point of the EC; and thank god it's that way, or this country would be ran by Mexico.
Oh yeah.....the FBI, that apolitical paragon of virtue and integrity. You're not helping your argument Maris......
Everything impacts elections. Isn't that kind of the way it's supposed to work? And the US howling about a foreign country trying to influence our election is pretty rich. Like we've never done that?
Of all our illustrious "intelligence" agencies, the FBI are the only one with any measurable standards at all. They require credible evidence and provable facts before they accuse someone, or some country. The CIA creates propaganda to further their interests, the NSA creates propaganda to protect themselves, and on and on... The FBI investigates crimes and arrests criminal suspects. The CIA assassinates enemies of whomever controls the CIA, and the NSA tracks and logs your porn-surfing forays.
Yeah he is. They should have brought a case against Clinton in the first place. Politics kept them from doing the right thing.
Once upon a time, "liberals" gathered at the 1968 Democratic Party Convention and demonstrated against "the establishment." They stood for civil rights and individual liberty. Then they joined the Party and threw away their convictions in exchange for collectivism and power. Today, they claim to want "change" from all sorts of perceived evils, but they are all butt hurt over the one guy who represents actual change getting elected. The man ran against his own party as well as the Democrats. Instead, these "liberals" wanted the status quo, warmonger, politically corrupt, candidate who has no convictions. When it comes to education, the status quo must be maintained. A woman who's dedicated much of her life to improving education for children is going to be in a position to change that status quo. That status quo has seen a rapid decline in the quality of education, increased drop out rate, and particularly harmful to inner city minority youth. So fuck you if you cannot accept trying something else. They beat the war drums for war against Russia, while the guy who was duly elected aims for peace. For all their hate of Russia, what they seem to be butt hurt over is that we're not exactly like the old USSR. One party system, politburo control, the leader entitled to the office, ever increasing state power at the expense of individual Liberty, and a two tiered class system (the favored class and the masses). They suppress their opposition through propaganda, fearmongering, hate, outright lies, and physical violence. I'm not saying Republicans are better, but Trump ran against those guys. The stupidly unhappy can be butt hurt with their candidate in power or butt hurt not. I choose not. Thank all that is good that they are losers.
