The EC's makeup equals the House. Votes in the House don't always reflect the desires of the constituency, either.
That's not true. The EC's makeup equals the number of Congresspeople, House plus Senate. In other words, the number of electors for each state is its number of representatives in the House of Representatives, plus two. That's exactly how it weighs votes in less populous states more heavily than other votes.
It takes a remarkable lack of self-awareness and thoughtfulness and/or extreme hypocrisy to make this comment and then follow it up by going after a wife that sticks with her cheating husband and saying she is "shaming women everywhere" in the very next sentence. Really, a perfect 10.0 for the mental gymnastics there.
You're a woman who is an apologist for a sexual assaulting, white supremacist courting, tax-evading, employee and contractor and student thieving, treasonous, adulterous, racist, sexist, transphobic, lying, warmongering, sociopathic, fascist-loving, banana republic imitating, low-information moron who you helped elevate to the highest office in the land and continue to make excuses for as he preceded to do all the corrupt and illegal things everyone knew he would do and even openly bragged about in many cases.
No shit. What's your point?
I suppose you are right I didn't read you as being interested in providing any kind of constructive dialogue with me either. I just thought it was odd that you said I don't give a fuck what you believe when you clearly did.
I was thinking of Trump's daughter sitting at the fashion show being ridiculed online by the editor because no one would sit next to her. Very mean girl I know.. hardly worth any sympathy, it's not like she was labelled autistic, that would be below the belt surely? Do you seriously believe Trump and his family are not targets for some pretty vile commentary? Is that within his enemies capabilities?
There's no contradiction. Again, it was just a question of doing my part to set the record straight. That was the thing I cared most about.
People who are against removing the electoral college always make this argument when it's really not correct. There are a lot of Republican voters in New York and California whose votes are currently marginalized because they're outnumbered by the Democratic voters in the more populous urban areas. Under the current system, their votes mean nothing. Under a more representative popular election, their votes would matter far more. Nearly 4.5 million Californians voted for Trump in November, but that didn't matter because Clinton got 8.7 million votes, which meant she got all of that state's electoral votes even though she only carried 61% of the total votes.
Whoops, you're right. My bad.
Very true. I'm sure many voters from both parties sit it out because they have become SO wise to the process they say "He or she is going to win my state regardless of my vote. Why bother?"
Were those attacks by mainstream media outlets? By opposition party candidates? Please provide examples. Because the attacks against Obama and Hillary certainly were.
You literally voted for and continue to support a President who attacked Obama based on his race. What do you think questioning his birthplace is about? And that's just Obama, I'm not even tallying up the hundreds of racist and sexist and xenophobic and ablest attacks he made on others before, during, and after the campaign.
Yeah, I got really tired of waking up to all of Obama's daily scandals. That time he disrespectfully wore a beige suit in the Oval Office. That time he saluted while holding a coffee. That time he arrogantly ordered dijon mustard on a sandwich. That time he shared a beer with a professor who thought the police should stop shooting so many unarmed black people. That time he dared to insinuate that people cling to guns and religion. His shameful use of a teleprompter. His terrorist fist bump with Michelle. When he treacherously didn't wear his flag pin on his lapel. When he bowed to the Saudis. Fox News got so much mileage out of those horrific acts.
You get that I was turning your example back around on you, right? You said Hillary shamed all women by sticking with Bill. First off, since when is the standard conservative position to abandon your marriage when your husband cheats? Mike Huckabee has some 'splainin to do to the child molesting Duggar family son about the advice he gave his wife then. Second, you continue to support Trump, who has done all the things Bill has done and more, and who regularly mistreats women through his personal and political actions. Physician, heal thyself.
Man, I didn't know this was a thing, but a quick Google search reveals it was. How petty!
Well, the thing is I did try relating to you and all you could do is try to be right.I haven't been in to see Dr. Quato for my therapy session this week.
Except that he didn't forget any such thing.
