The Electoral College: Purpose, Problems, Alternatives

So you can run for president even if you don't want your tax returns seen. What's Trump hiding ?

Probably the same thing everyone else who has tax returns you have not seen. None of your business in any case. Dont like it? Dont vote for him or anyone else you dont like for whatever reason. This is kind of the point.

Having a tantrum and rejecting the long tradition of a peaceful transition of power is not a good look.



To be fair we have the colonoscopy online.

It's not my business (or anyone's) to know if or how big a crook the president of the USA is?


That, of course, would be Trump's attitude.

Ahh if it wasnt for that meddling bill of rights. You could have won!!



Pesky freedoms can be annoying.

So exactly what in the book did you disagree with besides the title?

When the title is premised on a falsehood... a lie ... an untruth .... the rest of it falls to the wayside.

I was going to paraphrase Trump by saying "pesky Democrats"


Or as the musical "Evita" puts it:

"Its annoying that we have to,
Fight elections for our cause,
The inconvenience!
Of having to get a majority"

While you obviously have vast experience and expertise in utilizing falsehoods, lies, and untruth, Sane people might suspect your motives in this case.

Which would be easy if you only have to visit 9 states to impose your will on the rest.

It is much better to include every state. In this way they are represented fairly, win or lose.

The falsehood was the premise of the lie I exposed.

Impose your will ?


So Trump imposes his will over the people of California ?


Is that how you see the government working ? That the state of California has no political representation ?


What should count is how many people vote for you, instead what really counts is where they are.


So right now about 3 million more people (than the number who voted for Trump) have Trump's policies and presidency imposed on them ???

Genius founders want to a unified country so all regions had to vote for and support central govt, not just the communists in California and NY.

Our genius Founders loved the electoral college. They were creating a country and needed unity which meant all regions of our country had to vote for and support the central govt, not just the communists in high population states like California and NY. Now do you understand?

dear, if they had had any idea how vast the country would become they certainly would have tried even harder to bind it together with mechanisms like an electoral process that counted every region. Do you understand these basics?

So what you are saying is that as usual you are spewing uneducated moronic crap. Everyone already knows that, I was just curious what excuse you will use.
