US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[MrJokerRager]

Can I ask a serious question? How does allowing non-citizens to vote not constitute treason?

Easy. It's (D)ifferent when they do it.

When Newsom banned Voter ID recently.

The sponsor of the bill, some gook that has TDS, used reasoning that it hurts niggers and poor niggers and poor people.

Now all three groups can't get SSI and food stamps without an ID.

Or even alcohol without an ID.

Haven't seen it posted yet, but Trump supposedly confirmed a podcast with eternal fence sitter Joe Rogan is happening (article/archive):

Trump said he was going on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast during another podcast interview Saturday.

During a conversation with the Nelk Boys’s Full Send Podcast, one of the hosts asked the former president if he would consider going on Rogan’s podcast, which has 14.5 million followers on Spotify, making it the largest podcast audience on the platform.

“Oh sure I would… I mean I think I’m doing it actually,” he told member Kyle Forgeard.

“So you are going to do Joe Rogan?” Forgeard said.

“Yeah I am,” Trump confirmed.

Rogan himself has not confirmed the booking.

Can someone explain to my Eurodumbean ass how the electorial college works? From what I know, if not for it then California, Texas, Florida and New York would be the only states where votes would be worth something, as rest of the country's population pales in comparison.

Here’s what the electoral map’s probably going to look like:View attachment 6517081
This will be a historic election for women!

So this means...

It means America is filled with a lot of single unmarried whores except for West Virginia.

And holy fuck, a lot of non white women influence everywhere.

You're correct, without the EC our elections would be decided via popular vote and this gives much more power to colossal cities like New York and Los Angeles. The way the EC works is based on state population, the more populous a state is the more EC points it has which is why California and Texas have so many because a fuck ton of people live there. Then you have smaller states like New Hampshire. When our union of states was agreed upon the EC was devised to give smaller states more of a say in electing our federal leader. Our founders didn't like the idea of a "pure democracy", some described it as "two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner". They were much more supportive of the idea of a representative democracy which is what we ended up having.

In terms of elections a candidate needs 270 EC votes to win the presidency, as it stands right now.

The gist is it combines both House and Senate seats for a state into one pool. Every state is guaranteed minimum three electoral votes (two Senators, one House representative), with any additional House seats then added on top of that. States are free to delegate out their electoral votes as they see fit during Presidential elections (thus why Nebraska and Maine are oddities), but in general it's accepted and enshrined in state constitutions that the vote winner takes them all for the state. Otherwise it's a simple majority system: you need 270 electoral votes to win the Presidency.

It's why population heavy states such as California and Texas are important, but why middling vote states like Ohio, North Carolina, and Wisconsin often obtain outsized importance. Due to the current geographical party distribution the major states are split relatively evenly so Presidential races are run on the margins. Overall it's an ingenious system and once which ensures a good balance between tyranny of the majority and minority favouritism.

Everyone wants the one world government, no one wants to support the Furher as he brings it about. Sad. Many such cases. Or to put it another way, isn't it cute how they always think it'll be THEIR dictators that get absolute power?

If Kamala wins does mean that Democratic Party can win by nominating a ham sandwich. And then the final coup de grace will happen. If Kamala wins chances are Democrats will keep control Senate and at best Republicans will just have a slim control of the house. If that happens then a mass amnesty is going to happen and as Elon Musk has said it will pretty much become a 1 Party Rule.

They crossed the Rubicon in 2020 with the rigging. I suspect they actually crossed it in 2016, the night of the election, when instead of just accepting the loss they retreated, tried to find some way to rig it, realized the margins were too far apart, and just decided they needed to make sure this whole "election" shit never happened again outside of their control. Unless they have a complete come to Jesus moment -- and since they're post modernists and believe only in power dynamics, that means getting caught and punished, HARD, for it -- this won't change. They will attempt to rig every "important" election forever, until they're forcibly stopped.

Late, but to the person who asked about homemade Harris Walz signs-
Saw a homemade sign in farm land part of Wisconsin. Had the same thought, "Wow a farmer painted a sign! That shows passion." It was spray painted stencil letters with stars in red white and blue. (I googled/reddited for these signs but nothings coming up.) Then I started seeing TONS of them. I thought hmm maybe one local guy is selling these, then I saw them all over the whole state, from the IA border to the tip of door county.

White pill - Trump signs are equal to Harris signs in WI. Solid 50/50 split on that metric.

Either someone really misinformed or is a true believer would buy that the wealthy are siding with Trump and Kamala is for the working class after seeing the Kamala campaign has touted the Fortune 500 companies endorsing her along with the entertainment industry.

They still identify as the oppressed downtrodden working class champions they haven't been in 50 years, at least.

The EC and the Senate were devised to keep the country in existence, the small states made it clear that they were gonna go 'yeah fuck you Pennsylvania and New York and Virginia we're leaving' if they didn't get the EC and Senate

Trump should pass a law that increases taxes on fat people.

This but unironically. I'm not completely behind the idea that people with poorer health than the others should pay more for health care, but people suffering from self-inflicted illness, like obesity, should be completely cut off from tax payer funded health care. It makes me mad just thinking about how much of a drain on society obese people are.

I'm not saying you should die if you're obese, I'm saying it's unfair as fuck to make other people pay for your poor life choices (that you can revert at any moment), especially when that money could have been used to help other, more deserving people, instead.

Also reduce taxes for fit people and most obesity related health issues go away in the next decade

Fantastic idea. I can only dream of seeing something so based done during my lifetime.

The government is also poisoning people with shit that contributes to obesity and addiction.

The fda does the opposite of its mission now.

I dont disagree with you but some kind of transition is what is reasonable.

"We need to prevent Trump from winning because he'll become a dictator. So vote for the party that wants a one world government where a small group of people will have full power forever." How fucking stupid are these people that they believe a one world government won't be easily corrupted and oppress anyone who opposes anything they do?

I genuinely believe that she did not realize what she said until JD turned it on her.

(X) Meanwhile. Kamala keeps getting humilliated by her interns.

Spoiler: Video

She always looks so alien when she tries to do actual work, I want her to go to a McDonalds and work the food there. Excellent job by the interns. I'm loving the "Kamala struggles to do normal things" segments.

The first thing to understand is we don't have a national election of the President, we have 50 state elections for President.
Each state has "electoral votes", which represent their influence in determining who is President.
The amount of electoral votes a State has is based on the combined number of seats they have in the House of Representatives, which is proportional, and the Senate, which is 2 for every state. (this gives a larger advantage to smaller states)
This is where the 50 State elections come in- each State determines how to run it's elections, and how to allocate it's electoral votes. So things like whether to use ranked choice voting, whether a state allocated electoral votes by winner take all or proportionally, or how to qualify for the election are all determined at the state level.
Basically, imagine instead of the President of the European Parliament being determined by the MEPs, each country had a seperate election which allocated proportional votes based on MEP seats.
