Proportional representation ought to be amended to the Constitution.
It was the Supreme Court preventing the counting of non-votes as Gore-votes, Marty.
The Democrats were caught cheating then just as they are now.
The Supreme Court will decide this election.

The writing is on the wall. I am afraid Trump has lost. That said you shocked me with the following statement.
Now you are sounding exactly like the left wing nut jobs when Trump was elected. It is time to do as JFK said ( I paraphrase) "Ask what you can do for your country."
And Gore lost to Bush.
Not one Electoral Vote has been given to anyone yet.
I am shocked that you would capitulate and accept an election where open cheating by Democrats is now the norm.
It isn’t.
I know one thing, the outsized power of the existing colonies when they set up the constitution in 1787
in no way resembles today's reality. California has a billion times more pop than Wyoming.
No such disparity existed when the accommodation was made and inked within the 13 colonies. There was a pop disparity, but not of this magnitude.
It no longer is a pragmatic accommodation, its now patently ridiculous. Talk about your affirmative action for whites and white privilege!
Slight push back. There was evidence of Russian tampering in the prior election and Hillary got 3 million more votes and Comey opened a criminal investigation
Oct surprise on Hillary like the week before the vote. Trump is losing by 9 million
votes. Biden will win by an electoral margin that Trump called a landslide when he got it. Talk about hypocrisy.

Goodbye Dachsund,
OK, I make it very clear that I want to have free and open discussions with anyone of any view as long as we have one understanding, that being out discussions must be conducted as civil discourse. I don't want to get into name-calling and animosity and I don't want it directed at me.
I hope you feel a whole lot better for having gotten how you really feel about me off your chest because that is the last thing I will ever read from you.
You become the latest example that I mean what I say in my PIP, particularly the part about no tolerance and no exceptions.
What you think is fact is actually nothing but opinion. Since you can't tell the difference there is no point in talking to you. I have no desire to be the target of the release of your frustrations.
I also wish you well, and hope you can resolve this frustration. Brooks got it right when he said we have to recognize what this country is, who we are and we have to learn how to live with one another. We are a deeply divided nation. The only way we can possible function like this is to agree to have meaningful discussions. What you have said was more like an expression of aggravation and blaming, and that's not helpful. I wish I could say that if you can manage to turn that around we could talk some more, but the nature of chat forums does not lend itself to that. For that reason I have to stand by my own strict rules for how I will conduct my presence here. That requires no second chances. I try to make this as clear as possible. Many are able to abide by that and really, the ones who cannot make it impossible to have functional discussions.
The last thing I want to do is get into a name-calling contest or an insult spree which accomplishes nothing. So even though it is no fun to have to do this, I break it off with you, but I do wish you well.
This communication has concluded.

Hello Micawber,
I appreciate the sentiment that we need to ratchet down the animosity. Neither side is going away. We have to coexist.

It's a nice theory but it's pie in the sky unrealistic. On one hand you have religious homophobic racists and on the other hand you have lgbtqia and atheists and equality and inclusive-minded people. The two philosophies are very very different

Hello Iolo/Penderyn,
Thanks. It looks like we just took a small step by electing a moderate.
The American voters have sent a clearly mixed message to our government.
We don't want Trump, but we don't want liberals to be in control of everything nor pass any of the aggressive legislation they envisioned.
Basically, America doesn't really know what we want. All we can begrudgingly say, with great consternation as a nation, is what we don't want.
We don't seem to be any better than the UK.

People need (as Trump didn't, despite the propaganda) to know how to make sensible deals. President Biden and the Republican leader in the Senate, for instance, are grown-up enough to do it. It's all the chest-beating and bawling the Trumpers have been going in for that makes it hard. Politics is about possibilities and (limited, doubtless) mutual respect.
