why we need electoral college:Los Angeles county is home to more people than each of these 41 states

BTW John Kennedy and Billyboy Clinton never won the popular vote

but they didn't have a 36% approval rating and they didn't lose the popular vote by 3 million.

you really want to go there, dum dum?


Haha...the poor retarded filth just can't wrap their tiny little minds around it all....look, I'll walk you through it in short.
HRC pandered and sold her shit to only the most immoral, indecent, filthiest of citizens...like you....she sold the fuck out of Mexifornia and Loon York. She forgot there's 50 states in the union...most of which are full of high quality REAL Americans...haha
One more time...at no charge....
"Donny won 30 of 50 states, 2,623 of 3,112 counties and if you toss Mexifornia from the popular vote Donny wins that by more than one million. It was a complete ass kicking like never seen before.
MAKE AMERICA AMERICAN AGAIN!"

A Mexifornia without all the filthy wetbacks is a nicer, safer, more productive CALIFORNIA....this isn't an opinion, the data proves it...Here are some of those things you hate...FACTS!

CA=12% of the nations population...33% of the nations welfare recipients
CA=20.6% of residents live in poverty, the highest rate in the nation
CA=Home to more illegals than any other state...coincidence?
CA=Crime rates off the charts
CA=Home to more incarcerated than any other state
Any questions?

Couple, yeah.

  1. "CA=12% of the nations population...33% of the nations welfare recipients" <<-- Question 1: what does this have to do with the electoral college? Question two -- Link?
  2. "CA=20.6% of residents live in poverty, the highest rate in the nation" -- Provably bullshit. Question 3,: what does this have to do with the electoral college? Question 4, why are you not counting Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas, DC, Georgia, West Virginia, AridZona, Tennessee, BOTH of the Carolinas, Texas, Florida and Oklahoma? Have they seceded?
  3. "CA=Home to more illegals than any other state...coincidence?" <-- Question 5: home to more PEOPLE than any other state.... math? Question 6 what does this have to do with the Electrical College? Question 7: Link?
  4. "CA=Crime rates off the charts" <--- Question 8: "charts"? Suddenly we abandon specificity? Link?
  5. "CA=Home to more incarcerated than any other state" <--- Question 9: same as Question 5 Question 10: Link? Question 11: what the fuck does this have to do with the electrical college?

California isn't in the top 6, by percentages. Poverty stricken states are Republican. The popular vote should elect the President(.) Trump stated he would have won the popular vote if he had chosen to, wwhy the bizarre, incorrect posts?

Actually CA does have the highest poverty rate according to the LA Times.
BTW southern states have high poverty rates because of the same reason. They have high percentages of poor minority Democrat voters.

Once again --- no link. I DID provide a link, and it shows that California has the highest poverty rate only if you fail to count fifteen other states, plus DC.

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract California, Rump wins the popular vote".

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract X million illegal voters I don't have a link for either, Rump wins the popular vote".

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract the Mariners, Angels, Giants, As, Dodgers, Padres, Dbacks, Rockies, Twins, Cubs, Cardinals, Astros, Rangers, Braves, Marlins, Rays, Gnats, Mets, Wankees, Indians, Tigers, Phillies, Royals, Brewers, Pirates, Reds, Red Sox and Orioles, the White Sox are the World Champeens".

Must be comfy living in a bubble. I understand there are no sharp edges.

What part of these facts are you struggling to understand?
Perhaps you can have a third grader explain it to you.
Or are you clambering to hold on to the the metrics which does not factor in fundamental basics such as cost of living in X region?
Does that misleading method make your shithole blue states look better on paper? Haha...I know how you Tards love to be confused and misguided.

California’s poverty rate remains nation’s highest
BY JIM MILLER

"One in five Californians lives in poverty, the highest rate in the country, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The “Supplemental Poverty Measure,” factors in cost of living and shows a stubbornly high share of Golden State residents in poverty even as the national rate has dropped slightly.

Under the methodology, an estimated 20.4 percent of Californians lived below the poverty line in a three-year average of 2014, 2015 and 2016. That is virtually unchanged from the 20.6 percent average for 2013, 2014 and 2015, according to Tuesday’s release.

Nationwide, 14.7 percent of people lived in poverty under the supplemental measure during the latest three-year average. That is down slightly from 15.1 percent for the previous three years.

Experts said California’s higher supplemental rate reflects the impact of higher housing prices and other costs. “Californians are more likely to be poor than residents in any other state,” said Sara Kimberlin, senior policy analyst at the California Budget and Policy Center.

Under the official poverty measure, meanwhile, 14.5 percent of California residents live in poverty, down from 15 percent. That is 16th highest in the state and slightly above the 13.7 percent nationwide average in 2016.

A separate census release Tuesday showed that the percentage of California residents without health insurance dropped to 7.3 percent in 2016, down from 17.2 percent in 2013. That ranks 23rd nationwide, below the national average, but well above 2.5 percent uninsured rate for Massachusetts."

What does that even mean?
Does that change the facts?
Most who live here can't afford to live here unless they live like human cockroaches like the beaners do....you know, fifteen to a two bedroom shithole all on a Top Ramen diet.
 
Yeah,I how many of these so called "Californians" are just illegal aliens that given that motor voter right to vote: I know, California dosen't do that...right. I can't tell you how many Californians really are opposed to our politicians that oppose that sanctuary city stuff. It's the realtors, the contractors, big businesses that exploit Hispanic illegals and that's a systemic problem here in America, it's not a humanitarian issue or about diversity. Profit sings the song.
 
I live here, we make more than most states....We drive expensive cars....we live in perfect weather and we are enjoying our lives. We don't hate on nobody and we don't car what a miserable racist red neck think of us. :)

Mexicans are some of the hardest working people. Family oriented and respectful....are there bad apples? Yes just like any other race. Now that I made it clear....i haven' come across a racist and o don't wanna talk to one here....you are just a piece of shit racist prick.
Why don't you let the illegals share your mommy's basement with you?
Permanent Ignore asshole!
They have their own places....but white trash like you are the majority of the homeless in LA, also most of the beggars are white.

Haha..."have their own places" haha
Beaners will pack on top of each other just like cockroaches do...and you're right, there is way too much filthy white trash as well. We need to stop rolling out the red carpet and spending on illegal Mexicans and get our REAL Americans off the streets.....isn't that right?
Without illegals or immigrants the US wouldn' be what it is now. Swim in your hate you can' change anything.

Nope they are everywhere. I love them Latinos nicest and the hardest group of people I live in the Westside (the baggers, the thieves, the homeless) are all us born citizens, I'm yet to be asked for quarter by a Latino.

IOW, California's poverty rate is highest if you invent a new measure of poverty designed to make California's poverty rate the highest.
 
No other modern democracy, has a system that uses an intermediary for the sole purpose of selecting the national leader.

It is archaic and should be abolish.

Actually Pakistan does. Not that it's a "modern democracy" but it is the only other country that does it, "modern" or otherwise.
True.
Years ago, it was argued that the electoral college protected smaller states who had little in common with large states. That well may have been true years ago, but increasing, major national issues tend to be major issues of all states. Once only a few east and west coast states had much interest in foreign trade. Today, what state doesn't, as well as stopping terrorism, the national debt, federal taxes, etc. Yes, small states will always have issues that larger states don't but those difference are slowly slipping away as the country becomes more uniform.
Look at a map of which counties in which states voted for which party.
You can hardly claim the smaller states and larger states are becoming "more uniform".
In fact the opposite is true.
 
Dallas/Fort Worth has more voters than several states combined, so?
 
DO989U1XcAAM_5C.jpg


If ever there was an argument for the Electoral College... this may be it.
The major flaws in the electoral college are:

There are 12 states that are the perennial swings states that candidates concentrate on and 4 or 6 are must wins. Furthermore, most of these states are not our smallest states which shoots down the idea that small states are protected by the electoral college.

Once we get past the primaries, the general election focuses on a these few battleground states. Deals and promises are made for support within those states, and candidates tend to ignore the vast majority of the country in order to gain favor of a handful of voters in a few states.

Second,
It violates the one person, one vote rule, which should be the proper rule of a modern democracy. No other modern democracy, has a system that uses an intermediary for the sole purpose of selecting the national leader.

It is archaic and should be abolish.


Where is this rule written?

Who do you consider to be a modern democracy? (this is going to be good!)
One man, one vote - Wikipedia

Modern democracy is different from the Greek form of Democracy because the 2 basic principles of modern democracy are Equality and Freedom. These principles are reflected by all citizens being equal before the law, and having equal access to power, and freedom is secured by legitimized rights and liberties, which are generally protected by a constitution. And unlike ancient democracy it believes in universal adult franchise, all adults have right to vote.

SO the definition of MODERN DEMOCRACY is "a form of government, where a constitution guarantees basic personal and political rights, fair and free elections, and independent courts of law."
What is Modern Democracy?
 
Actually CA does have the highest poverty rate according to the LA Times.
BTW southern states have high poverty rates because of the same reason. They have high percentages of poor minority Democrat voters.

Once again --- no link. I DID provide a link, and it shows that California has the highest poverty rate only if you fail to count fifteen other states, plus DC.

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract California, Rump wins the popular vote".

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract X million illegal voters I don't have a link for either, Rump wins the popular vote".

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract the Mariners, Angels, Giants, As, Dodgers, Padres, Dbacks, Rockies, Twins, Cubs, Cardinals, Astros, Rangers, Braves, Marlins, Rays, Gnats, Mets, Wankees, Indians, Tigers, Phillies, Royals, Brewers, Pirates, Reds, Red Sox and Orioles, the White Sox are the World Champeens".

Perhaps you can have a third grader explain it to you.
Or are you clambering to hold on to the the metrics which does not factor in fundamental basics such as cost of living in X region?
Does that misleading method make your shithole blue states look better on paper? Haha...I know how you Tards love to be confused and misguided.

California’s poverty rate remains nation’s highest
BY JIM MILLER

"One in five Californians lives in poverty, the highest rate in the country, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The “Supplemental Poverty Measure,” factors in cost of living and shows a stubbornly high share of Golden State residents in poverty even as the national rate has dropped slightly.

Under the methodology, an estimated 20.4 percent of Californians lived below the poverty line in a three-year average of 2014, 2015 and 2016. That is virtually unchanged from the 20.6 percent average for 2013, 2014 and 2015, according to Tuesday’s release.

Nationwide, 14.7 percent of people lived in poverty under the supplemental measure during the latest three-year average. That is down slightly from 15.1 percent for the previous three years.

Experts said California’s higher supplemental rate reflects the impact of higher housing prices and other costs. “Californians are more likely to be poor than residents in any other state,” said Sara Kimberlin, senior policy analyst at the California Budget and Policy Center.

Under the official poverty measure, meanwhile, 14.5 percent of California residents live in poverty, down from 15 percent. That is 16th highest in the state and slightly above the 13.7 percent nationwide average in 2016.

A separate census release Tuesday showed that the percentage of California residents without health insurance dropped to 7.3 percent in 2016, down from 17.2 percent in 2013. That ranks 23rd nationwide, below the national average, but well above 2.5 percent uninsured rate for Massachusetts."

Sorry no-link boi, I already shot that down.

So did your own quote here -- roll tape:

>> Under the official poverty measure, meanwhile, 14.5 percent of California residents live in poverty, down from 15 percent. That is 16th highest in the state and slightly above the 13.7 percent nationwide average in 2016. <<​

Care to essplain to the class how you can be above the average, and come in last?

Math much?

You still didn't essplain what the fuck any of this has to do with the Electrical College. Or any of those ten other questions.

Haha...are you caught in some weird and twisted backward reality or something...or are you just that much of a fool?

IOW, California's poverty rate is highest if you invent a new measure of poverty designed to make California's poverty rate the highest.
In 2016
California isn't in the top 6, by percentages. Poverty stricken states are Republican. The popular vote should elect the President(.) Trump stated he would have won the popular vote if he had chosen to, wwhy the bizarre, incorrect posts?

Actually CA does have the highest poverty rate according to the LA Times.
BTW southern states have high poverty rates because of the same reason. They have high percentages of poor minority Democrat voters.

Once again --- no link. I DID provide a link, and it shows that California has the highest poverty rate only if you fail to count fifteen other states, plus DC.

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract California, Rump wins the popular vote".

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract X million illegal voters I don't have a link for either, Rump wins the popular vote".

Which sounds remarkably similar to "if you subtract the Mariners, Angels, Giants, As, Dodgers, Padres, Dbacks, Rockies, Twins, Cubs, Cardinals, Astros, Rangers, Braves, Marlins, Rays, Gnats, Mets, Wankees, Indians, Tigers, Phillies, Royals, Brewers, Pirates, Reds, Red Sox and Orioles, the White Sox are the World Champeens".

The electoral college system also contributes to low voter turnout and also contributes to the limiting of the states where the presidential candidates will campaign.
