attempting to preserve the last remnants of republicanism against the mass chaos of direct democracy informed by social media?

Of course he attempts to do so. He's a published author on the subject.

That you stand against mob rule - the very definition of "democracy"? Note: we never were a democracy - never was our government model.

That the concept of compromise that made this country possible - that some more populous states accepted a solution so that less populous states saw a benefit in uniting?

That if you marginalize most states to the benefit of the few - like CA and NY, you invite secession?

Of course, when you turn away from the original concept of united states (sovereign states working together for the greater good) to a federal government with subservient states, it tends to confuse people on the original concept because they no longer see the original concept. Actually the Brits with Brexit figured out that they might not be able to stop creeping federalism, but they could leave before being swallowed and digested.

You think we should warn her that CA and NY and a handful of other states are never going to equal 2/3 of 50 and there's no nuclear option the dems can pull out for a Constitutional Amendment?

Nah. She’s a smart girl. Mostly. She’ll figure it out eventually.

Giving white people in rural areas more voting power than most Americans.

So all people in rural areas are "white" and all urban people are......?
Does that mean that people that are not "white" in rural areas don't have the same ability to vote?

 

[k-town_king]

Only 8% of the rural population is Black.

Not all urban people are Black. Almost all rural people are White. These are facts in the U.S.

Rural votes count more with the EC.


Keep up if you can.

So just move out to the rural areas.


Try not to be insulting, if you can.

Nothing against any rural area or the people.

Now the education and health systems yea.

There is no reason the least educated and least healthy part of the country should have more power than the rest.

They actually have all the power should they ever choose to use it. They feed you.

What gets me is the continued divisiveness for a Presidential candidate in the first place. I have no problem with a President conceding power to it's rightful owner. Progs seems to want to dictate ever more authority over a land of 330 million citizens. It is bound to fail not only in policy, but implementation over such a diverse nation.

They definitely should be as educated as Compton, Chicago, St Louis, Memphis, Harlem, Queens and the like. Amirite?

It would be an improvement.

Sounds right to me since after all they provide most of the food.
