I was hoping Cal would split into 2 or 3 states.

California is gross!  It's a filthy, dirty, dry arid, 3rd world country with dirty bums everywhere living in cardboard box cities. ImageImageImageImage

Exactly.

To do away with the electoral college requires a constitutional amendment.

If that happened, poorly educated racist white people would never again have the slightest hope of electing a President.


Those Trump supporters, who call Kamala Harris a baboon, a monkey and a chimp, and hate public schools and unions and love all manner of wicked things, produce most of our food.

We need Trumpies,

And they need us, who can afford to buy their products.

Let the electoral college alone.

It just happens that your average liberal scum stick together in globs, afraid of the world.
Gotta be that "safety in numbers" paranoia you assholes are famous for.
So, you have big cities with huge numbers and you want that mass of **** to call the shots?

Go **** yourself.
Please seat yourself.

This is exactly WHY they want to do away with the Electoral College, and even the Senate. 
All they care about, is gaining more power.

When I learned about the electoral college, in the seventh grade, the explanation given was that in 1790 the founders had a difficult time traveling. So the 13 states (plus provisions for more states) would conduct elections for President and then in those 13 states the proper electors would cast votes for the wining candidate, and off to Washington DC went a horse and rider to Congress, where the votes were tallied.

Until Donald Trump the danger, was faithless electors.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector

All my life there’s been talk about doing away with the electoral college, but in the last 30 years it’s become clear the Republicans would not have any real chance to elect a President except by, the electoral college,

But future generations will be taught in the seventh grade how in 2020 the Republican lost a close race and tried to fabricate enough bogus electors from seven states, which failed when the Vice President refused to enter the scheme, and rioters occupied the Capitol.

They might amend the constitution, over that.

Racism exists by power of suggesting ancestries are typecast people that can never know why or how they exist as eternally timed apart adapting in the moment here.

Believe in that you are a racist morally, legally, ethically, economically, socially, ancestrally. You prefer to stay in character rather than adapt as one of a kind specifically occupying time now.

You are the racist directing racism controlled by rule of law that punishes anyone being honest with insubordination, treason, blasphemy against humanity providing better tomorrows than genetics sustained current events so far.

Live evil. Lived devil in details directing each great great grandchild to ignore actual life upto dying as 1 of 16 great great grandparents of their added 4 generation gaps left after they died becoming 1 of 2 parents.

Life goes on, but what society ever tells the actual means living never exceeds the moment here? Simply done through compounding chromosomes each conception adding another lifetime replacing their previous 4 generation gaps.

5 dimensions of ancestral results in plain sight and everyone pretends nobody knows playing mind games of 6 degrees of self deception debating 2 sdes of every storyline/alternate reality in parallel universes.

Psssst. **** *******.

The STATES control the US GOVERNMENT and have the ability to REMOVE or ABOLISH IT at any time.

Sucks you are way to effing STUPID to understand that simple concept.
Liberals are spoiled children, miserable, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic & useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats ~O'Rourke

The Democratic Party seems intransigent on their position of keeping the party ‘woke,’ detached, exclusionary, and totally insane.
