Democracy in action.Not so much intended as a compromise for Union.
So the people living in states with low population shouldn't have a voice in electing a President. Gee, what about democracy?Correct.
And most low-population states are controlled by Republicans – hence the right’s staunch defense of a fundamentally anti-democratic process.
Indeed, Republicans themselves are fundamentally anti-democratic; anti-democratic institutions such as the EC, the Senate, and the judiciary are at the center of the Republican agenda to retain power although they represent a minority of the population.
I'm sure they're heartbroken.My Senators and representative have already been informed they won't be getting my vote again if they refuse to at least vote to impeach this criminal. If the Republicans refuse to impeach this man then they need to be replaced.
I'd rather have a civil war.

The NPV, when approved by the states and Congress, in 2025, their will be no need for the amendment.You will never get rid of the electoral college because you'll never get minor states to agree to diminish their status more than it anyway is. You Keep the getting the name of this country.
Bad faith partisan politics by Republicans – a meritless, unwarranted impeachment of President Biden for no other reason than Republicans can say President Biden was ‘impeached.’That's funny. A Democrat accuses a republican of being partisan.
Republicans long ago abandoned the ‘big tent/inclusive’ political paradigm – focusing instead on frightened white voters in low population red states as expressed by white grievance politics and racist replacement theory.So the people living in states with low population shouldn't have a voice in electing a President. Gee, what about democracy?
Get rid of the leftist thugs like antifa and blm.Really? Not me. I'd rather fall back on the constitution and rule of law. Revolutions often turn out badly ... Like Libya, Iran, Syria, Russia..
Why would you double down on failure for the sake of Donald Trump?
Biden won't be impeached. It's hilarious that you can't see that the Trump impeachments were in bad faith.Bad faith partisan politics by Republicans – a meritless, unwarranted impeachment of President Biden for no other reason than Republicans can say President Biden was ‘impeached.’
As to the OP, Republicans may refrain from impeaching President Biden for reasons other than numbers and votes – Republicans are dishonest and liars but many aren’t stupid, enough know that to impeach President Biden would be to guarantee the president a second term, the American people seeing such an ‘impeachment’ for what it truly is: a partisan, meritless, bad faith attack of President Biden by Republicans.
So because people in Wyoming disagree with you they shouldn't have a voice. Gee, but what about democracy?Republicans long ago abandoned the ‘big tent/inclusive’ political paradigm – focusing instead on frightened white voters in low population red states as expressed by white grievance politics and racist replacement theory.
But Republicans soon realized the downside of this strategy as America became more inclusive and diverse with a majority of Americans opposed to the Republican agenda.
The solution for Republicans was to exploit and defend America’s anti-democratic institutions: the EC, the Senate, and the judiciary, and by doing to establish and maintain Republican minority rule.
The key to establishing and maintaining Republican minority rule is controlling a majority of the states – the states determine who the president is, not the people; the states determine who controls the Senate, not the people; and the executive and Senate determine who controls the judiciary, not the people.
The Electoral College really sucks! It's a dinosaur! People vote - not acreage!

(an additional advantage of the proposal is gerrymandering would have little or no effect upon our nation's policies).Lakhota, there is a proposal that would give full and equal weight to (almost entirely) every USA voter, and still fully retain the original constitutional compromise for the benefit of our less populated states, This post was posted within the thread, "An immodest proposal for general elections of U.S. Member of Congress and our presidents":
An immodest proposal for general elections of U.S. Member of Congress and our presidents.
Votes for other than the Democratic House of Representative candidates within predominantly Democratic congressional districts, are futile votes. Votes for Democrat house candidates to represent predominantly Republican congressional district are also ineffective; they're essentially futile votes. Wouldn't it be preferable if everyone's votes for U.S. Congressional House representatives and U.S. senators actually affected our nation's future policies? ...
... I perceive no good reason to change any of these concepts in our constitution. But there remains the questions: Wouldn't be preferable for ALL votes cast for other than the then elected members of the U.S. Congress, (rather than only votes cast for those actually elected), to effectively affect our nation's future policies? Must all votes for other than the winners be ineffective futile votes?
I advocate candidates for the House Representatives receiving 1% or more of their district's votes, should be considered as been viable candidates. All candidates, including the elected candidates should be awarded the power of weighed members' votes in all proceedings of the U.S. House of Representatives. The weight of those votes being the percentages of votes the candidates received in their district's previous general election. Those recognized as credible candidates may not directly participate in the House's affairs, but they may temporarily assign their votes, and they may later revoke and reassign their votes to any currently elected or appointed member of the U.S. House.
This same concept could be applied to elections and procedures of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Electoral College. Within this concept, every general election vote would affect our nation's future policies. Respectfully, Supposn
It's flyover country for a reason. Nobody wants to be around your kind.A handful of major cities would decide our elections and the people in flyover country would never have a voice. Does that sound "fair" to you? Besides, you lot have no real worries. We've likely had our last uncontested election.
Condescending prick.It's flyover country for a reason. Nobody wants to be around your kind.
No, for selling influence and thus being a traitor to the office he served.Impeached for what? Just for revenge, spite?
Trump was not fined--the casino was fined. You folks have a rough time understanding that everything with the Trump name is not Donald Trump. I would hazard a guess that any major conglomerate the size of Trump has similar legal history.Trump was fined $10 million dollars.
