Pete Buttigieg: America Isn’t ‘Much Of A Democracy’ Because Of That Electoral College Thing

[Cellblock2429]

Someone should inform BootyJudge that we have never been a democracy. Presidential candidates should know these things.

/-----/" Presidential candidates should know these things."
I bet he does - but his moronic base doesn't.

I don't allow men that have butt sex with other men lecture me about the Constitution.

You should watch his announcement speech from yesterday. Then you wouldn't sound so miserably uninformed.

Why is it that America is the only place where the candidate with fewer votes wins the election?

Because we are a representative republic with a constitution that mandates a fair voting system.

Don't like it? You know the legal drill.

Twice in 16 years the candidate with fewer votes won the election. Meanwhile districts were gerrymandered so egregiously that candidates are choosing their voters, not voters choosing their candidates.

And in all these things we find the bony, pale fingers of the Republican Party. No wonder you have no complaints. Winning counts for more than Justice. Power counts more than fairness. And the fewer people who get to vote means the greater chance you can hold power.

Could it be possible for each vote to carry equal weight? Is it possible in the 21st century to count all the votes, see who got the most and declare that person the winner?

Yeah. "Democrats never gerrymander." In fact, it all evens out in the end.

If you want to end the Electoral College, seek an amendment. Don't try an end run.

What "end run" might that be then?

Typical dumbass Democrat.
The 2020 Dem race is to see who can outstupid each other.

So you agree with him.

And HE's stupid. Which makes you ------------------ ?

Say, aren't you supposed to be ferreting out stories about how a freshman Congresscritter who lives three million districts away from you didn't signal for a lane change or some shit?

WTF, so "typical dumbass democrat" is a term of endearment? Maybe you've just heard it too many times....dumbass.

You know that makes no sense, right?
Try reading the posts first. Works wonders.

We're a democratic republic. We also are supposed to value democracy as in the right of the people to have a say in how this country is governed. Some on the right have a clear hostility to the ideal of democracy, they are not good Americans.

Find the word "democracy" in the Constitution!

Hint: It is NOT there!

Did you forget the kings of gerrymandering infest the Democrats?

Just get them all the fuck out of the country. Him, Bernie, AOC, the Islamist skank, Lizzy. Just get the Fuck out

Interesting big tent Frank. Who's your tentmaker?

However there's a way to do that. All you gotta do is crank up your speakers and play the sound of windmills. That causes cancer yanno.

I'm dead fucking serious. Trump needs to deport Bernie to Venezuela. Let him go a week without running water, fresh food, electricity then see if still wants to talk shit about how bad the American "poor" have it.

Bernie lost it yesterday when he refused to pay the tax rate he supports!

Hypocrisy thy name is Bernie!

I was at a loss as to how referring to someone as a "typical dumbass democrat" would suggest they agree with them. Now how about you read the posts...dumbass.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

Yes, one that doesn’t allow 3 wolves and a sheep vote on the dinner menu.

Uh, no. That has nothing to do with the nature of a Republic.

 

[Norman]

Considering America is not at all a democracy... yes, it's not much of a democracy.

Perhaps he was thinking of a different country like Venezuela. We should arrange a free ride.

Maybe so the states that produce our food have representation.

One way of course.

Wine is an agricultural product. And Kalifornication makes the best in the world

About $50 Billion dollars worth.

Their citrus, however SUCKS.

The only way to get juice out of a California orange is to run over it with the delivery truck.

We'd do just fine without california's ag business, although I would miss their Pinot quite a bit.

As usual low-informed comment from the lost.
It has been said 15 times in this thread...so here goes again - WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY.
A total Democracy is as unstable government as you can get, we are a Republic.
Here perhaps you need visual aid...

As I have stated before on this forum, the demrats would not be blowing hot air about the EC if the 2016 results had Trump winning the popular vote and the Hildebeast winning the EC and the White House.

Because America is a Constitutional Republic. Stupid demoncraps.
