“We should elect the president the way we elect governors, senators, mayors, represen

[Flash]

the very simple way to fix that is to repeal the 17th Amendment.

One reason the 17th amendment was passed was because of corruption in states in choosing senators.

just come out and say that you do not give a fuck about what a minority wants........be honest for once and say you want mob rule.

So you chose a dictatorship?


Good for you slave boy Russians



Us Americans chose equal rights to representation

 

[Phantasmal]

Everybody has the same rights whether they are in the majority or minority.

James Madison made it plain in Federalist #10 that government should prevent any group from imposing its will on others. That is why he fragmented power into so many different parts--to keep any group from getting control which also made it difficult to accomplish anything.

Rights was an incorrect word usage on my part as I later realized when I thought of blacks, etc. thanks

Yes, we have all the same legal rights but not necessarily the same freedoms. Rights cannot be restricted but freedoms can.

In the original Constitution only one office was chosen by the people. Only House members were elected while Senators, president, and judges were chosen by different methods.

A different method of selection was one of the methods to prevent the tyranny of the majority.

We are the great melting pot of the world



We are all in the pot all the time



We melt the cultures of mankind into one people


We prove mankind can work as one for the betterment of mankind



We create a more perfect union


You want us to be a racist hellscape



Start your dreamed of race war loser


See how quick you get dead

Then they should melt into Americans, shit lips.

Our choice of President in 2016. Abortion being legal and obtainable. Healthcare, and sensible gun laws.

The majority of voters in conservative states elect Republicans who pass stricter anti-abortion and fewer gun laws and the majority of voters in liberal states elect Democrats who pass more lenient abortion laws and stricter gun regulations.

That allows a majority of voters in each state to determine the policies they prefer. We could argue that is the will of the majority as much as a national policy imposed on everybody.

I don't think the "will of the majority" has any real meaning when translated into actual operation.

The left certainly has no thoughts of blacks. Until voting time. Nice to see your honesty.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

The disparity of population between the states now are MASSIVE

again, you ignorant fuck, it is irrelevant because the HOUSE represents the population, explaining the difference in electoral votes per state.

TWO SENATORS ONLY IS DESTROYING OUR DEMOCRACY

again, you fucking traitor, this is a lie.

They bring their flags, celebrations and cultures to America. Shouldn't they leave all that shit at home if that is what they are fleeing?

No. I haven't done that with my ethnic traditions.

There is not a single program that helps the poor and disadvantaged that was not due to Dems and was opposed by the Reds. The Dems are the ones who pass legislation for them. You are right-wing wrong.

National Popular Vote movement. Check it out.

What state(s) changed the way they choose electors?

"Many states changed how their electors cast the ballot for President."

Dumb. Unconstitutional. Will never result in a Constitutional amendment.

Government programs do not help the poor dumbass. They enslave them and create a poorer dependent class that relies on Democrats for free stuff. I wish you had a brain. Really I do.

It is not supposed to result in an amendment; the purpose is to change the operation without having to amend the Constitution.

The states have the power to determine how their electors are chosen, so how can it be unconstitutional?

I don't think it is a good idea and probably will never go into effect.

The poor still get all that free stuff even when Republicans are in power. They never bother to change any of it, they just increase the funding.

They cut what they can get away with


They don’t cut it all


The American people would end their party if they did and the republicans know it



Remember when they talked about killing SS recently?


They shut up about that real quick

Dude. Look up real history. Minorities would have had their freedom 150 years earlier if it were not for Democrats. STFU you uneducated asshole.

They don't cut any current funding. They only cut proposed increases; if the budget is set to increase item X by 7%, they only increase it by 5%.

They never talked about killing Social Security. One senator suggested placing it under sunset laws. That means it comes up for renewal every x number of years. They always renew the programs and no Republican is going to vote not to renew SS.
