Getting Rid of the Electoral College Blight

[moke123]

set-up a bail fund to bail the rioters out of jail.

That's a good thing. No one should remain locked up just because they're poor. Remember the presumption of innocence thing?

Does that include J6 defendants or just the party loyalist.

OMG. Where's the hitting head emoji when you need it.

Your hypocrisy astounds me. You have NEVER ONCE given Trump the benefit of the doubt. And today you still insist that J6 was an insurrection,.

Not the point. This was blatantly political. Have you ever seen a prosecutor bail people out of jail for looting, burning, and destruction of property?
Harris loves to proclaim with great fanfare that she is a tough aggressive prosecutor who follows the law. So why do we have X million illegal immigrants here? Also consider that she has been the border czar for nearly four years. Yet she has not fixed the issue. She has no interest in following the law nor in stopping the illegal immigrant invasion.

PS: If it is simply an issue of the "presumption of innocence thing" she should be helping those arrested for Jan 6th, the fact that she is not reinforces the issue that she is implementing a political agenda. Burning down cities by left wing agitators is OK, but protesting at the US Capital is not. Harris must not believe in applying the law equally (as she should). To paraphrase Orwell: some are equal under the law, others not.

Maybe if they were working, they would not be poor. Yet many arrested Jan 6th were held without bail. Where's their presumption of innocent?

Where's their presumption of innocent?

Parading is a heinous crime. No one accused of Parading should ever be allowed on the streets again! They are a danger to everyone, especially the Democrat's "democracy" The death penalty would be too good for them. Maybe they should be forced to go to school in Baltimore instead.

It's a bs relic of a time far removed from modern reality

Are you sure about that? I'd say that sounds like a parroted line, because if you understand the 'why' behind the electoral college, you would think today's packed liberal urban centers make the protection of the E.C. more important than it ever has been

I laughed audibly at that line.

School vouchers should be the norm for 100% of American students. Let the schools that stink lose people until they correct their ways.

Let the tax money we pay for students follow them wherever the heck they go

I won't argue with you but that would never have been necessary if Carter hadn't destroyed education in the US when he created the DOE. How Congress and subsequent Presidents have let this boil fester is beyond belief.

I stole the idea from the 2 weeks in Cleveland punchline

Sixty years ago we were in the top ten of developed countries for K-12, now we are lucky to be in the top 30. I wonder who's been pushing this winning strategy?

Teachers' Unions:
Civil Rights and Equity Advocates:
Many Democrats and Some Moderate Republicans:
Advocates for National Education Standards:

What are you smoking? Republicans don't burn down cities and destroy lives and businesses. They don't "occupy" property that isn't theirs. That is what Democrats do.

The Electoral College isn't designed to favor one party or another. In fact, parties didn't exist in the early years of our Republic. The EC is designed to minimize the tyranny of the majority. You know those mobs of Democrats wearing masks who rampage through our cities every time they are unhappy about something.

You are being lied to and you bought in totally. Any time someone offers a negative opinion of Trump, you are right there on the "believe all Trump haters" train. Has it never occurred to you that you might be lacking in the critical thinking part of your brain. You can't distinguish between the rational and the irrational. If someone said he was keeping little boys in his basement for amusement, you would be the first to retweet the lie.

Does that make you the oppressor

Just FYI, MAGA people don't think of themselves as oppressed. Only Democrats divide the world into the Oppressed vs the Opressors.

That is the best collection of MAGA brainwashing ever.
The MAGA propaganda plays on your victim mentality.

 

[Thales750]

We're going to have to agree on that one. Also on the corruption of Congress and the deep state.

The deep state is a MAGA brainwashing construct.

 

[Thales750]

Yes I am, very sure. Especially when it comes to Texas. It's the tail wagging the dog. if the tide was turned Conservatives would be marching on the capital. The MAGA brainwashing machine would have them all screaming victim.

 

[Thales750]

Just to add some off-beat humor to this discussion. The Electoral College, one could say was an early form of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Giving the disenfranchised (the rural communities) and equal voice in society. Supporters of DEI should be embracing the concept of the Electoral College!

Not in Texas. It disenfranchises half of it's residence. It actually turns 5 million votes to the other side. Trump lead thousands of MAGA nut cases to invade the capital, over an alleged voter fraud. When in reality he was the one trying to defraud the American people.

The electoral college can stay, but the winner take all has to end.

You only support it because it sanction those you have contempt for... the "Liberals", translation anyone not a conservative.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Because calling Trump Hitler is for sure not brainwashing

 

[Thales750]

What are you smoking? Republicans don't burn down cities and destroy lives and businesses. They don't "occupy" property that isn't theirs. That is what Democrats do.

Really? Well they certainly follow their Fascist Leader into the battle to invade the Capital.

It is sad to see how fanatical some MAGAs have become.

The deep state is a MAGA brainwashing construct.

Oh, you are SO wrong. The deep state is the Executive branch agencies that create regulations by fiat when it is Congress who should have that power. But Congress is so tied up with TDS that they are currently ineffective. The recent revocation of the "Chevron Deference" policy is going to forever change the lives of executive branch bureaucrats because of the lawsuits that will be filed against those agencies - all of which are beholden to the President, not Congress. But the executive branch is only supposed to enforce the laws that Congress made. If you take a look at the current furor over gun rights, that is just a small example of an Executive agency, the Bureau of the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives), creating law where there was none. Their "frames and receivers" rule and their age limits on owning a gun are two examples of a rule that wasn't passed by Congress. Two out of DOZENS. The bureaucrats are running the country and THAT is the "deep state."

With only 11 days to go the dems have abandoned all political discussions about abortion etc. Instead they have embraced screaming about Maga and Hitler like a toddler, it's hilarious.

As it should be, but they are not all aligned to destroy Trump.
There are thousands of examples of where the American people are protected from the whims of powerful organizations by the force of these Administrations and Offices.

the SEC and the EPA just to name two.

When it gets right down to it, Conservative believe that taking power from the People, and turning it over to the Capitalist is somehow going to make them (individuals) freer. LOL

Why do you think such a big deal is being made about Woke? It's a diversion designed to make Conservative have contempt for Liberals. A diversion so you people will cheer when by the turning of the US into a Corporate State. They will not rest until all of the world's wealth is in their hands.

I have a news flash for you Doc, you are not a capitalist. I'm actually more of a Capitalist then you are. I do Capitalism for a living.

You will not be made free by the destruction of the protections of our Government.

Modern employee Conservatives are analogous to the White Southern Sharecroppers that went to war, so the Rich People could own slaves. It's not smart.
