  2. No, Derrick, that most certainly was not why the electoral college was instituted. In 1787 when the Constitution was written, less than 20% of all Americans lived in cities. America was over 80% rural. And even today, you don't know anything about the US population if you think 4 or 5 big cities would be able to decide an election. You'd need well more than 100 of the largest cities to come up with 50% of the population. You seem to vastly underestimate just how many cities there are in the US, and how many people there are in the US. The reality is that the electoral college was instituted to limit the power of the voters, and preserve the power of the wealthy aristocracy.

  3. @Zebra Better than having the minority rule over the majority.

  4.  @savegreenland1640  No, the Vikings did not grow grapes in Greenland. The only crop that Norse settlers in Greenland grew was barley. https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/weather/weather-watch/article39516393.html

  5.  @paradoxmo  And Medicare Disadvantage will hopefully be abolished in the process. Its whole reason for existence was to let Republicans stick their foot into the door for eventual privatization of Medicare.

  6. @magellanphone In effect, yes. Since his plan would greatly expand what medical treatment is covered by Medicare, in addition to expanding it to cover all Americans.

  7. @magellanphone Does Yang's plan give Medicare to everybody? No, it doesn't. So it's not Medicare for All.

  8. It's not piracy when a nation does it. At worst, it's privateering.

  9.  @calichef1962  You define Bernie getting fewer votes than another candidate as "cheating". You seem to think it's impossible for Bernie to lose a fair election, and thus any election he loses must have been because of cheating. And news flash, our parents lied to us when they taught us that cheaters never win. Cheaters win all the damned time, that's why Republicans are in power right now.

  20. You mean like how Bernie "stuck around" even after he'd already lost, and lobbied the superdelegates to overturn the primary and annoint him as the nominee?

  22.  @bipolarbear9917  No, lunatic, it is not "highly suspicious" that another candidate is getting more votes than Bernie. Maybe you're new to this whole "democracy" thing, but sometimes the candidate with the best ideas still gets fewer votes.

  23. Trump's reasons for supporting Rittenhouse are complete and utter bullshit. How was was Rittenhouse being aggressive? By aiming his rifle at unarmed protesters, that's how. And backing up while still pointing a rifle at people is not the same thing as "running away". The reason people were trying to take the rifle away from is that there's no way to subdue an active shooter while letting him keep his gun.

  24.  @georgewahogo7568  How do you "keep a safe distance" from a person with a rifle? An AR-15 has an effective range over around 300 yards. It kind of takes a while to get that far away from a shooter, and you can't outrun a bullet. And they had no reason to think he would stop shooting if they fled from him.

  25.  @jacobw446  No, Jacob, you're still wrong. A republic simply means not a monarchy. There are many republics that are dictatorships. Voting for a representative = representative democracy. For example, Britain is not a republic. It's a monarchy. But British people still vote for their representatives. Same for Canada, Australia, and Japan, to name a few.

  26.  @jacobw446  The EC subjugates the MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE to minority rule by the small population states. That is tyranny of the minority. That is dictatorship. Also, your math is completely wrong. It would take the 11 largest states, not 4, to produce a majority of the population.

  27.  @jacobw446  Are you perhaps familiar with the People's Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Iran? Those are republics. And dictatorships. Another example that previously existed was the Soviet Union. A republic is defined by the fact that the head of state is not a hereditary monarch. The definition you're using for republic actually refers to a "representative democracy". You also don't seem to grasp what "direct vote" means. Electing the President via popular vote is not "direct vote", because the President is an elected representative. "Direct vote" would mean that laws are passed by referendum rather than by Congress.

  29.  @jacobw446  You keep using the word "republic" without any clue as to what it actually means.

  30.  @jacobw446  You've repeatedly made it clear you don't know what a republic is. And the electoral college is not liberty. It's the tyranny of the minority.

  31.  @jacobw446  None of them recognized the threat of tyranny of the minority. And Hans von Spakovsky, an official at the far-right Heritage Foundation, can go to hell. He was only able to be placed on the Federal Election Commission by a recess appointment, because he was too extreme to be confirmed by the Senate.

  32.  @jacobw446  You keep asking that irrelevant question. States don't have any choice of leaving the union.

  36. No, "most people" don't feel like this is self-defense. Only Trump cultists feel that way. Also, the assertion that the people he shot were felons is a lie. Only one of them had a felony conviction. Apparently that guy was convicted of sexual contact with a minor. But he was 18 himself at the time, and apparently the conviction was for having sex with a 16 year old girl. In many states, there's an exception to statutory rape for cases with such small age difference, but in Arizona there isn't. The other guy killed and the guy who was wounded have misdemeanor convictions, not felonies.

  37.  @WAEVOICE  Doesn't change the fact that Rittenhouse was the actual aggressor all three times. They were trying to defend themselves against him.

  38. The fact that you're only half-educated at best is precisely why you deny the object reality of anthropogenic global warming.

  39.  @anomamos9095  The reality is that denial of global warming is the actual religion.

  40.  @anomamos9095  That's not reality at all. It's just what you wish was true. Man has done more than enough to effect the global climate, no matter how deep you bury your head in the sand. And your silly take on wind farms is deranged nonsense. Seriously, where do you come up with that bullshit about power spikes?

  41. Also, calling them "Persian" is itself an attempt to delegitimize Iran. The name "Persia" is of Greek origin, and comes from the region Persis (now Fars Province) rather than the nation of Iran as a whole. Iran officially requested that the rest of the world use their proper name instead of Persia 85 years ago.
