Supreme Court unanimously ruled, states can punish Electoral College members who refuse to support candidate who won statewide presidential election
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Both parties the same.
With states like Florida and Texas with large populations plus the growth of Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee there should be no need for an EC.
They do not want this mistake to happen again. Trump was the worst "what if". The electoral college really exposed this crooked Political system. When a president is 4yrs in and the people still can't figure out how the fuck he won, don't want him, can't get rid of him....... There's a serious problem.
^^^^^
Yep...I dont trust any polls when it comes to this guy but this right here should be setting off massive alarm bells in the White House...like a defcon 5 level oh shit moment
Those alarm bells should have been going off two months ago But it is too late whoever is in that White House and want to salvage their career they better leave right now
True...from the moment COVID really started dropping bodies after his less than optimal initial response, they should have been in panic mode
I want to believe its too late but this is an incredibly racist nation and it wouldnt surprise me if they take advantage of the current situation to make something jump off to tap into that racist sentiment...I put nothing past these people
Unanimous decision
SCOTUS doubled down

No they should never get rid of the Electoral College.
What the supreme court did today is exactly what a good court should have done.
Uphold the Consititution of its country!

no. the electoral college no longer serves a purpose.
it kind of made sense in colonial times. but now it is total bullshit.
popular vote of the nation should determine the president.
You would have people campaign in major states and forget the rest. The electoral college isn’t the problem. It’s the candidates and their strategies.
You can’t argue for Al Gore and Hilary Clinton when they didn’t argue for themselves. Their lackadaisical approach to their campaigns is why they’re at that lowly position in history: losing to Jack asses.
The political process is a farce.
i don't see the problem with that.
what you are advocating for is what state senators/congressmen are for. they represent the interests of states. not the president.
and even with the electoral college presidents still spend the majority of their time and resources on large states or "swing states."
both al gore and hillary clinton literally had elections stolen from them. those are poor examples. but that is another thread.
It's the middle states that lack population. Plus ETC is the only way republicans keep power or have a chance at any power

But the growth and numbers are mostly minorities so abolishing the EC is a non starter.
This is why it's important to vote. Get people in there that'll rid us of this shit once and for all.
So you don't mind alienating entire sections of the country. So it becomes the president of New York, Texas, California, Florida, and fuck the rest.
Lets be clear. This is not the old days when Presidents had to travel by train, etc...to speak to the people in different states. We are in a whole different age now. You either agree with the policies of the candidate or you don't. Right now we have a president of South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Iowa, etc.......Do you think it's fair that these low population states have more power in Washington than the high population states?

No it should not. If recent times, have proven anything it shows that the general populace of the United States are uneducated animals.
They cannot be given the responsibility to directly choose the president of the United States.

That's not what I said. Senators and congressman represent the state. And have far more impact at state level than the president anyway.
What you are saying makes no sense.
Are you serious with this bullshit?
Yeah but the problem is even worse the electoral college which I feel like I should go out the window the big states they are in dangerous territory of losing all the time once they lose Texas it’s a done deal is over for that party
What he is saying is the true reason for the electoral college. Its in place for the elites of the country to keep power because they believe that the masses could be easily swayed. I believe we should end that bullshit.
i agree with your assessment.
what he was saying made no sense in the context of the argument he was presenting.
If you read what he is saying you will understand he is one of them right wing white boys on the board. You know they stay on code no matter where they go.
