A history lesson about the electoral college

[Orangeburst]

Miss , could you get me a gin and tonic

She would mix it 1:1

 

[Sandman 423]

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.

So if they had more degrees and ate better you would be ok with it?

I am guessing you wish us to be a direct democracy?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

I think he’s spot on when he says he blames her professors for not teaching her history .

Meh, I really don't think she would have cared what the reasoning was behind it.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

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

Question: Why do you want to impose urban rules and morays on rural people? Why should people that live in rural areas be subjected to the same draconian mandates and taxes that city folks have?

That’s a false dichotomy. Imposing American rules on other Americans are the words you’re searching for. I don’t register to vote as a rural voter or urban voter. I register as a legal voter, an American citizen.

How about we don’t act like statist douche bags and not “impose” any needless damn rules on anybody?

”More power” sheesh

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.

Tell your “Rural votes mean more” to the people in upstate New York and Northern California. Check the county party makeup then look at the state makeup.....that’s why the electoral college works.

Morays?

The EC ensures that we are given the opportunity to remain a Constitutional Republic instead of a mob ruled democracy dominated by densely populated liberal enclaves (shitholes).

It means that I can remain a Christian first, a Tennessean second and a US citizen behind those.

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

This is the very thing the slum dwellers don't understand. They need flyover country, but flyover country doesn't need them. Cities don't in their wildest imagination provide the food and energy that sustains them; cities see themselves as filled with the people who make things happen rather than understanding they are the overhead. It's been a while since large cities were needed to provide the labor for industry ... even before their more affluent citizens gave that away.

Unit Corps Country!

Morays?

I knew that was gonna bite him in the end.

If the electoral college is abolished it will sow the seeds for the next civil war and would spell the end of the United States of America.

That is known as "hitting the nail on the head."

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Keeping 3 or 4 cities from choosing the leader of an entire free nation?

It's only a matter of time before the urban dwellers outnumber the rest of us.... The leftards just have to wait a little longer and their Kalifornia wet dream will be realized.

I pray that that power is utilized.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

It would be an improvement.

You are free to move to any of those places. But you see... you are closer to a Hitler than Mr Trump ever could be because you want to FORCE your beliefs on everyone else. I couldn't care less how people live in the cities. Why do they care how I live in the country?

I think we should all secede and starve the commie pigs to death...or just start shooting them...either works for me.

THis is a verrrrrry underrated post.

About 3-5 states usually determine an election

It absolutely will

 

[CagleMtnVol]

I live here...



But the people who live here want me to do what they say....

 

[Orangeslice13]

He addresses and dispatches of that argument in the thread

He addressed it but by no means dispatched it.

 

[Godfatha]

All it would take is for the suppliers to cut off the consumers.
