VP Debate Tonight At 9:00 PM ET

I’m guessing those would be blue states.

ding ding ding. It would be hilarious if a Republican won the popular vote, and California went red.

Yup. Only a blue state would disenfranchise their own voters by going with the national popular vote, which they know will be blue.

But not to worry. Those states would go blue anyone. A swing state would never get away with it, and of course a red state would never do it.

So, no loss.

 

[Faun]

Not all states do it this way, as there are 10 - 12 states that have agreed to allocate their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, regardless of the outcome in their own state.

That's not happening this year.

 

[jotathought]

That's not happening this year.

Sure they do, and here are the states that participate in this approach. I'm 99.8% certain that Maryland is already using this approach while others are moving towards it.

Exactly correct, and this would essentially turn the United States into a democracy which is not a good thing, especially with so many low-information voters. I'm not as concerned with who wins the presidency, I'm more concerned with who wins the House and Senate.

Yes, my nightmare is the DEI idiot gets pulled over the finish line, and we lose the House and Senate. Then there would be no way to stop the Marxist takeover of America.

You should have read your own link. It says they're not doing it this year. In next month's election, those states will be assigning the electors to their respective winning candidate. Except for Maine, which still assigns them proportionally.

Better than the Nazi you want for president.

See how that works?

Do you even know what the word 'Nazi' means? It's this type of malicious vitriol that causes individuals to want to kill Trump and is commonly used by the current administration, the media, and Democrat supporters.

Yeah, I know it applies to Republicans as much as "Commies" and "Marxists" applies to Democrats.

Which is why is added, see how that works?

Uh huh. What do you think Harris means when she continues to preach "an opportunity economy" and "equitable outcomes," Walz's communicates that socialism is just another word for neighborliness, continued communication that the rich need to pay their fair share, Obama communicating the redistribution of wealth and so on? See .. unfortunately for you, there are objective details from democrat quotes and policies that align with communism, marxism and socialism.

She made it very clear that people who “need more” to reach “equity” with others would be given more.

A recipe for disaster. Take away from those who earned their way to a comfortable, even affluent, life and give it to those who were either too lazy or to incompetent to do it.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

9 corporations control the entire housing market.

which 9?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Except for Maine, which still assigns them proportionally.

if only every state would do this

Socialism is against privatization and dictates society owns production and distribution.

Neither Obama nor Harris nor Walz is preaching that.

You wanna throw vitriol, then stfu when you get vitriol.

While simultaneously driving down motivation, innovation, and the incentive to be successful.

Touche. Socialism also focuses on central planning, the reduction of class distinctions through the redistribution of wealth and resources, and the focus on prioritizing social welfare and environmental sustainability over profits. Policies that Democrat leadership and its supporters embrace. Cheers!

And Nazis used their power to take the loser of a presidential election and elevated him to be the leader of their nation.

Here, MAGA Republicans tried to do that with Trump.

You wanna draw parallels? I can too.

Well .. that's not entirely correct. The Nazis rose to power through electoral success and strategic political actions rather than elevating the loser of a presidential election to leadership. Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany in 1933, and while politically controversial, it was legally permissible within the bounds of the Weimar Republic's political system;

At least get your parallels historically correct. LOL

Meanwhile, Trump transitioned the presidency to Biden in January 2021.

And then president Hindenburg died and the Nazis merged the offices of chancellor and president to make Hitler, fuhrer (leader).

Your "fact check" left that out. How Nazi's handed the office of president to the person who didn't win the election for president.

And I never said Trump was successful in stealing the election he lost. But he and Republicans tried.
