@rittenhouse2a @Thom51785 Paxton is the current Attorney General and has been in elected office for over 20 years. Imagine thinking he's not "establishment" 🤡

The problem with billionaires is the gnawing pit of greed in their stomachs. If you had that kind of money, would you keep trying to squeeze every cent out of your employees? Would you even keep working, or would you spend every second of your finite life with people you love?

@darwintojesus Weak. Pascal's Wager has been shredded by basic logic for hundreds of years. You're just hoping to reach people who have never heard of it before.

@swrightCO The latter is MUCH more legitimate, because it's not just an aesthetic for the Subaru people. They back it up with policy.

🚨 NOW: King Charles has a PRESIDENTIAL-level motorcade rolling through DC right now We now have an ACTUAL king on our soil, but there are NO SIGNS of any "No Kings" protests anywhere in the nation right now. Interesting how that works!

@MathiasRusted One of our LIBERAL democratic principles is that 50.1% doesn't have the inherent right or legitimacy to ignore the interests of the other 49.9%.

There is a good civic argument for the "electoral college". Almost all western democracies give more weight to rural voters, for the same reason as the original compromise when ratifying the Constitution. Without some counterbalance, rural areas simply become "colonies" of urban areas, with government serving the interests of urban areas over the wishes of rural areas. In almost all western democracies, the person leading the country is not chosen by a popular vote, but by representatives. Those representatives are in turn chosen primarily as local representatives for individual communities. The electoral college giving more voting power to some is not a violation of democratic principles, but the norm in western liberal democracies.
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki

There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

@JoeySchmittPhD You don’t have to “support” it. But it’s the law and you have to follow it, until you can get it changed. The amendment process is right there. Have at it.

@StephenFleming @fritzed_you Whether it would be preferable and whether it would be feasible are two different questions, goalpoast-mover.

@fritzed_you Yep. Go for it. If you can get 2/3rds of each house of Congress and 3/4 of the states to scrap the Electoral College, that would be perfectly legal. If you can’t, then this is what we have.

@StephenFleming Basic civics tells you this history of the EC and how it works. Basic civics does *not* require you to think it's a good idea that should last forever.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.
