And reform the appointment of SCOTUS justices, and get rid of gerrymandering, and... -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 12:11 3
- Gerrymandering is #2 on my list. I think the EC and gerrymandering have more effect than Citizens United. -- nm - crash davis Jul 16, 12:14 2
  - f you, Elbridge! -- nm - prayformojo Jul 16, 12:14 1
    - I mean other than the value of his autograph, he sucks nowadays -- nm - crash davis Jul 16, 12:15
It is, but it doesn't matter. I don't see it changing any time soon. Smaller states will never agree to give it up. -- nm - pmb Jul 16, 12:09 8
- And I don't like this fatalistic attitude (not aimed at you, more at the DNC). The country has been effed twice by it in the past 17 years -- nm - crash davis Jul 16, 12:11 5
  - The Republicans have only won once since 1988 (2004, with Bush), that's the only time they've won the popular vote. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 16, 12:13 2

      - The real Deep State. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 16, 12:16
  - I once more agree. - Marlowe Jul 16, 12:13
  - So lets move it into the national conversation. -- nm - crash davis Jul 16, 12:11
- Smaller states are never gonna let you down. -- nm - Max Jul 16, 12:10 1
  - they're never gonna run around and desert you -- nm* - decline Jul 16, 12:13
What's stupid is that the EC has human reps. It's like a darts competition where ever sector has a person who steps forward and says - Max Jul 16, 12:08 1
- this though I agree with. -- nm - Truman Jul 16, 12:09
I dont necessarily agree. - Truman Jul 16, 12:07 4
- they would have the exact same influence as people in the large states - one person, one vote....pork shouldn't be handed out due to the EC -- nm - crash davis Jul 16, 12:08 1
  - Yes. I don't get this argument. - Marlowe Jul 16, 12:12
- So? It is actually the opposite. Get rid of it so every vote counts the same. -- nm* - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 16, 12:08 1
  - its like choosing between batman or the joker. - Truman Jul 16, 12:08
