Beware the 'dimpled chad'...
Thanks for clearing that up! That just makes so much sense! :rofl3:
A slate of electors decide the vote. Take that away, and it's mob rule. Pockets of Democratic or Republican strongholds should not be able to sway an election.
How you have fallen from those protestant ideals
Out of bounds
I am sure Anabaptists also objected to the college of cardinals
Sorry you missed the lesson on the Electoral College. It's all over 'Youtube', though. Would you like me to find it for you, or are you able?
anti-democratic despot.
IMPEACH QUEEN ELIZABETH!
She never got ONE VOTE from ANYONE - much less the majority vote of all Australians, Canadians, UK's..... What an anti-democratic despot system!
And we Americans should IMPEACH Malcolm Turnbull, PM of Australia
- he did get even ONE VOTE from outside his own tiny district.... yet he and his appointees GOVERN all Australians! What an anti-democratic despot system!
Of course, one could argue that as an AMERICAN it's none of my business how Australian leaders get to be leaders.... and for an AUSTRALIAN it's one of his business how American leaders get to be leaders?

I'm watching a video by Sam Harris on the election of Trump, and one of his points is that we just have to hope that Trump lied about how horrible a person he is. That he simply played the part of a loose cannon bigoted misogynist just to get the votes of those who feel alienated by all the political correctness. I don't know if I buy it, but it is food for thought...or wishful thinking.
Sam goes on:
Let's hope that he was only pretending to deny climate change, to admire Putin, to believe all those conspiracy theories. Let's hope he really is just a con man without any real core commitments, and was only after fame and glory. Let's hope there's a chance that knowledgeable people might be able to influence him.
Sam also said Trump is no longer just a clown...now he will be the most powerful clown in the world who could set progress back an entire generation in this country.
