Walz says abolish the Electoral College

[M14 Shooter]

and yet she was up 6 points nationally in oct 2016 .. and Briben was up 10.8 nationally in oct 2020 .. Clinton lost the electoral college and Briben eked out an electoral college win by about 40 thousand votes .. i

Truth. Imagine the yelling and screaming from the left had those 40k votes gone the other way.

The national polling numbers do not reflect the lead/trail in WI MI PA GA NC AZ NV, which is what matters.

Actually, most Americans would like to see the Electoral College go.

Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College

California voters turned down gay marriage in an amendment in an election. One of the installed judge shills overturned a popular vote and gay marriage became state law.

California voters turned down gay marriage in an amendment in an election. One of the installed judge shills overturned a popular vote and gay marriage became state law.

They turned it down because the Mormon Church spent millions lying about it.

The problem was that there was no logical argument against gay marriage other than, "I think it's icky!"

By Zach Jewell Oct 9, 2024 DailyWire.com

Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz said on Tuesday that the “Electoral College needs to go,” forcing the Kamala Harris campaign to release a statement saying it does not support abolishing the Constitutional mechanism for presidential elections.

At two campaign fundraisers on the West Coast, Walz called for abolishing the Electoral College, arguing that it forces candidates to focus too much attention on a handful of battleground states, The New York Times reported.


“I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote,” Walz told donors at California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s home in Sacramento. “So we need to win Beaver County, Pennsylvania. We need to be able to go into York, Pennsylvania, and win. We need to be in western Wisconsin and win. We need to be in Reno, Nevada, and win.”

At an event earlier on Tuesday, Walz told supporters that he is “a national popular vote guy, but that’s not the world we live in.”

Following the Minnesota governor’s call for the Electoral College to be abolished, the Harris campaign said in a statement, “Governor Walz believes that every vote matters in the Electoral College and he is honored to be traveling the country and battleground states working to earn support for the Harris-Walz ticket.”

Comment:
The Democrats claim that they are saving our "democracy".
But at the same time, they are attacking the foundations of our country.
The Electoral College strengthens our pluralistic election system.

The electoral college was designed to disenfranchised black voters and it continues to do so in the GOP south where the votes of 90% of their black constituents end up going to Republicans they vote against.

You know that that statement is not true!

 

[Curried Goats]

You know that that statement is not true!

I know it to be fact. You soft whites just can't emotionally reconcile it with the history you venerate so much. It says it right there in the Constitution that representation in the House would be determined by the amount of free citizens and 3/5s of the States slaves and electoral college votes would be determined by the number of seats each State had in Congress. These are just facts. The Constitution doesn't say any damn thing about smaller States.

It was designed to give extra voting power to the whites of Southern States based on the number of slaves they had. Now it gives extra voting power to southern whites who have never, ever supported black equality because they're trash people from a trash culture.

Slave states wanted slaves counted so that they would have more congressmen. That would increase their influence. Counting slaves at 3/5 was a compromise. That proves that you are wrong about the electoral college. You can't have it both ways. I heard some people claim that the 3/5 rule meant that blacks were less important.

The southern states wanted them to count a full person.
The northern states did not want them counted at all.
Damn northern racists!

The great majority of Americans do not want to go back to the society of the 1950s.

The Constitution says no such thing.
It says "...three fifths of all other persons"

It was designed to give extra voting power to the whites of Southern States based on the number of slaves they had. Now it gives extra voting power to southern whites who have never, ever supported black equality because they're trash people from a trash culture.

And it will remain in place until an amendment changes/removes it.

This means you opinion doesn't matter.

What do you mean I can't have it both ways you moron? You just agreed with my way.

Why not? America was booming

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I think they ought to debate the issue.
A debate between the presidential candidate and the vice presidential candidate.
Maybe Colbert would host it

First Trump and Vance, over the 2020 election.

Correct, as they weren't allowed to vote.

The modern confederates always forget to mention that.

Meaning slaves. Both you and your Founders are too ***** to say it with your chest. I find that rather amusing....

And it will remain in place until an amendment changes/removes it.

This means you opinion doesn't matter.

Who says? You Simp whites have no imagination. You're cuckolded to the Constitution which is why you'll sit passively and allow yourselves to be demographically replaced. I'm not beholden to your Simp feelings about it. We just need to pack the court with Justices who are of the opinion that the electoral college violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment and we're done with it.
