is it time to exchange the electoral college for the popular vote

[Mott the Hoople]

Seriously, you again spout off this? Try reading you ignorant shit. I said the sparsely populated states are. I said you are full of shit to say the RURAL areas/ States are. Are YOU going to pretend not to notice that hawaii, vt,nh,de, dc are ALSO overrepresented?

Bottom line, you have proven yourself a fool.

And your a shrill, disreputable and intellectually dishonest jerk splitting pussy hairs between "rural", "small", or "less populated" to hysterically prove some inane point that is not only an aside to this discussion but is also one that no one really gives a rats ass about but you.

Christ, at least 3D is honest. He just wants to fuck Dems.

I'd like to see it apply to legislature as well.

A proportional system may become necessary if the two party system can't end the gridlock. I don't fault either party, per se, for the grid lock. Conservatives and liberals have proven that they can be good faith negotiators. I blame Southern politicians and their nullificationist ideology for the gridlock.

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. It is true that rural areas can often effectively swamp urban areas, either because they're split among several rural majority districts in a gerrymandering scheme (Austin is big enough for it's own district, but has four different Republican representatives), or they're too small for their own district (pretty easy to link rural areas that wouldn't have enough population for a district alone into one large district, doing the same with two or more smaller cities for one large urban district produces relatively horrendous looking maps, the result is that you get several small cities swamped by rural voters).

That is what I am referring to.

Well, there are some rather hot ones out in Hollywood that I can't ignore.

To me a proportional system is simply a stepping stone to eliminating political parties all together.

This system would work as designed if the republican party didn't CHEAT in all elections

And if liberals just stuck to their ideas instead of insisting on being "liberal" at people. I might be more inclined to listen to some of their more worthwhile ideas.

How does one "be liberal" at people?

How does one "be liberal" at people?

it involves a lot of arm flapping and the utterance of meaningless catch phrases....take Desh, for instance.......

the proof the republican party cheats in elections is court documented.

You can deny the evidence all you want .

it makes you an idiot to do so
