Johnny YumaParticipantThis is why Liberals want to get rid of the electoral college…It is all about power…
President Donald Trump defended the concept of the presidential electoral college on Wednesday, arguing that it was a better way to balance power.
“With the Popular Vote, you go to just the large States – the Cities would end up running the Country,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Smaller States & the entire Midwest would end up losing all power – and we can’t let that happen.”Democrats running for president in 2020 have argued that the electoral college should be abolished after key midwest states supported Trump for president, allowing him to beat Hillary Clinton, despite Clinton winning the popular vote.

CapricornKeymasterYou don’t know the history of our country. Electoral College’s main purpose was to give more power to slave owners.

Now that we don’t have slavery (of that kind at least), the power shifted to sparsely populated states like Montana, the two Dakota’s etc. Why should the few ignorant dumbasses decide for the rest of the majority of American people?

Because this is a country of states and each state should have a voice on who is president of the United States…It is unfair to have large blue states always deciding who lives in the White House…

Huh? People should have a voice. Not large expanse of unpopulated flyover land.

Of course that would be your view…Anything to keep Liberals in power so you can continue to destroy this country with your crazy ideas…

It is funny you call people living in Montana and North and South Dakota dumb asses when their sat scores are higher than Nevada…What does this say about you people living in Nevada…Even Tennessee and Mississippi has higher sat scores than Nevada…Looks to me the dumb asses are in Nevada…
March 20, 2019 at 11:58 #12448Johnny YumaParticipantNow back to the topic…
“The founders wrote a great deal about how detrimental it would be to have a single party government and how having a single party would lead to becoming a dictatorship. The Democrats’ goal is for our country to be controlled by a single party by any means possible… ILLEGAL immigrants given amnesty, lowering the voting age to 16, stacking the Supreme Court to dismantle the Constitution, eliminating conservative speech and conservative media. It’s evidence of their desperation because they know they have no agenda, policies or candidates to beat Trump”.

What an ignorant post. Accusing others again of what you are guilty of.
Trump owns the Senate – mitch Mcconnell and all Republican Senators carry water for him instead of acting as checks and balances against the Exec branch. The motherfucker has appointed two USSC judges, one of which was supposed to be Obama’s pick.
Trump has control over the Senate and USSC. So who is the fucking dictator, and which is that one party illegitimately governing the majority who voted against the Republicans?
You don’t think these things before you post some thing rubbish and nonsense?

Desert_FoxParticipantThe Electoral College is the antithesis of one man, one vote. It dilutes my vote and as can be seen by the last presidential election, it allowed a bigoted minority to put a crook, a wannabe despot into the Oval Office; a man who doesn’t care how much he poisons the environment as long as it swells the coffers of corporations; a man who lies time and again and causes the United States to be mocked by the rest of the world, allies (who he bashes) and enemies (who he sucks up to) alike.
We got rid of slavery, now it’s time to get rid of the Electoral College.

Nevada is getting smarter. It is turning from red to purple to blue.
The dumbasses in conservative counties bring the average down for NV in many respects. People like Bundy assholes etc.
