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

This is the way.
This is how we save Texas!!!

My own personal views as a citizen and a MAGA supporter:

Elle Woods in Legally Blonde is the quintessential rich LA girl which is why Harvard is such a fish out of water experience for her… what do you mean she lived in Seattle

The official teaser trailer for the ‘Legally Blonde’ prequel series ‘ELLE’ has been released. Premiering July 1 on Prime Video.

@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.

@DiscussingFilm Dialogue that screams "meant for people looking at their phones"

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

@nicksortor You know exactly what the difference is. You just think your followers are too dumb to know.

@robertgraham @MathiasRusted But the 49.9% do have that right over the 50.1%? And that's somehow better?
English

@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.

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.

@StephenFleming @JoeySchmittPhD Maybe you should've learned basic reading comprehension in sixth grade.
English

@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.

63% of Americans were not taught basic civics in sixth grade.
Micah Erfan@micah_erfan
🚨 63% of Americans support adopting a national popular vote for President.

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

@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.
English

@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.

@ContraPoints Ugh. The edgelords don't get to own atheism any more than MAGA gets to own Christianity.

@Tsrif243015 @NukeDST @elsleightholm People can say what they want and still be wrong. You have a toddler's understanding of free speech. Take your baby brain somewhere else.

@NateSilver538 @Bassaces1 How do you clock Elon Musk as right leaning?

@AndrewG29922648 @NukeDST @elsleightholm Sorry my point went over your head, I know misogynists have trouble with critical thinking.
English

@andalongjacket @NukeDST @elsleightholm Oh, you are an idiot, I didn't realize right away... my most sincere apologies for assuming you to have a functional IQ.
Goes to show we shouldn't make assumptions about others!
English

@AndrewG29922648 @NukeDST @elsleightholm The meme isn't funny to anyone with any amount of critical thinking skills, and referencing it is in fact insulting.
English

@andalongjacket @NukeDST @elsleightholm That is not an insult meme, it is a joke about the meme, and it is hilarious.
