@Fridman111063 Prison for what?

Donald Trump could become the first U.S. president in history to go to prison.

@KevinSt50186570 @1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan OK, but we were talking about Electoral College vs. National Popular vote and the only real way to avoid that possibility would be to either do a run off for that state or only allow 2 candidates

@evansc555 @1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan What do you mean? Candidates win states with less than a majority of the popular vote all the time. In 2024 Trump got less than 50% in Michigan and Wisconsin for example but got all their electoral votes, meaning a majority of the state was “disenfranchised.”

🚨 Virginia has joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. This brings America one step closer to a national popular vote for President.

@KevinSt50186570 @1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan Well, we were talking about when there were 3 major candidates

@1ocboltsfan @evansc555 @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan Trump actually technically only got 49.8% in 24 too

@tysonphotoo To be fair I dont like korra or katara I think they both have annoying flaws.

Toph is a girl and no one hated her Kuvira is a girl and also a villain but no one hates her Azula is a girl and probably more dangerous than Kuvira but no one hates her Katara is a girl and the most powerful water bender but no one hates her But you think people talk down on Korra because she’s a girl. lol

@FurlinMark @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki Do you think you are smarter than the men who wrote the constitution?

@evansc555 @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki I already explained this to you and it has nothing to do with what you think.

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.

@FurlinMark @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki 1st I'm not sure how you can know anything let alone my reading comprehension since all you do when someone points out when you are wrong is insult them. 2nd stop projecting your own iq insecurities on to me.

@evansc555 @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki I know reading comprehension is tough for you so maybe read it again and try to understand what you read. 55 is that your IQ because that explains a lot.

@1ocboltsfan @KevinSt50186570 @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan Lincoln also

@evansc555 @KevinSt50186570 @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan The only times I think it happened all resulted in electing Democrats all Democrats received 40% or less 1912 Willson (against two Republicans Taft and Roosevelt) 1992 Clinton (against two Republicans Bush/ Perot) 1996 Clinton (against two Republicans Dole_Perot)

@FurlinMark @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki The Republicans did win the popular vote

@evansc555 @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki And now it benefits the Republicans and that is the only reason they are for it. If Republicans started winning the popular vote but losing the EC they would be in favor of ending it in a heartbeat.

@FurlinMark @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki It was definitely not the only factor read federalist 68

@evansc555 @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki It was the only factor, the North wanted to end it but because slaves counted towards the population but couldn't vote it benefited slave states so they blocked the Northern state from getting rid of it. It's complete bullshit that we have it to protect smaller states.

@FurlinMark @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki That was 1 factor but not the only one, and in my opinion, not the biggest reason

@evansc555 @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki We originally had the EC because they were worried the people were not informed enough and the states had the power to disregard the vote. And after they realized that would not be a problem the southern slave states blocked changing it because they benefited from the EC

@KevinSt50186570 @1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan OK but that actually isn't relevant to the discussion as that happens very few times and you have te same issue with the popular vote nationwide

@evansc555 @1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan If there are three major candidates in an election someone can win all a states electoral votes with just 34% of the vote in our current system, disenfranchising 66% of all voters.

@FurlinMark @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki But it is not the people who vote for president it is the states which was by design. I'd recommend reading the federlist papers

@SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki You have no idea what you're talking about and the more you try to explain your view the dumber you sound. My vote should not count more or less depending on where I live and everyone with a brain knows this. And if Republicans could win the popular vote they would be against EC.

@FurlinMark @AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki That is not an argument

@AmericaJoJo @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki The only point you're making is that you're not very bright.

@KevinSt50186570 @1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan It also still runs into the 2nd issue of disenfranchisement of the majority of voters in the state

@evansc555 @1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan But if they excluded that clause it would not be an interstate compact. It would simply be them appointing their electors based on the winner of the popular vote, which any individual state has the right to do.

@KevinSt50186570 @1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan It is still unconstitutional as it is still an interstate compact that would not get approval by congress

@1ocboltsfan @BurtSchoeppe @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan What if it excluded the provision that holds off on in going into effect until enough states to form a majority signed it?

@posted989 @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan Interstate compacts are a violation of the constitution it says it in the same place it says states can't make treaties with other nations

@VTHistory25 @micah_erfan Why would SCOTUS toss it? Interstate compacts are perfectly constitutional and they’ve already ruled states have free range over how to appoint electors/decide electoral votes. We just so happen to all collectively do it by state popular vote.

@GenSnowleopard @1ocboltsfan @OmegaTir @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan So say the state of Texas majority vote red but the national popular vote was blue under the proposal Texas would instead of sending red electors they would send blue which would disenfranchise the majority of Texans

@1ocboltsfan @OmegaTir @VTHistory25 @micah_erfan On what grounds? They all still have suffrage.

@trumplicans2024 Pull the trigger

and you choose?

@itsnwts Yes

SERIOUS QUESTION: if somebody handed you $7,000 and said it’s because you’re ugły, are you accepting it?

@AmbitiosL33568 At least 5 but can't know the actual answer with just info provided
