Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

Because California Democrats aren't happy with their current amount of power - which is already TWENTY PERCENT of the entire "votes to win" amount in the current electoral college as well as making up TWELVE PERCENT of our entire congress.

The power level they would like would be "all of it, forever"

Hilariously, though, this would be another case of shooting themselves in the foot most likely because if you look at the 2016 election (California specifically) while you might note that that California alone represents 20% of the "VOTES TO WIN" amount - they only represented 10% of the actual voting that year, meaning they'd actually be limiting their own voting power by 50% - on the hope and bet that Republicans wouldn't flourish under the "new system".

If somehow this country does away with the electoral college, I would hope that it encourages a LOT more “republicans” (anti-democrats) to vote. For some reason, I feel like there are way more republicans living in blue states than there are democrats living in red states.

Spent about an hour last night in a full blown shouting match with my Roommate over me voting Trump. Once it was obvious we weren't getting anywhere we both promptly agreed to disagree, and went back to happily drinking beer and watching terrible movies.

Don't let this politics bullshit swallow you whole. Call a friend, have dinner with family, spend time doing something fun. Things might look ugly right now but regardless the outcome we'll get past this eventually.
Did you beat his ass?

If I remember correctly, employees were forced into long hours due to "crunch time" for MK 11. Also, that some of them were traumatized by the gorey videos they had to watch in order to make practical gore effects for the game. PTSD and nightmares.
I spent hours watching combat footage from Iraq and Syria a few years ago, they should have hired me. It's not the sort of thing you usually put on a job application.
 
Also the whole "I'm going to flee the country/an hero if orange man wins" thing was already debunked in 2017. They're just attention seekers.
I immediately lose any remaining respect for anyone that even bothers to say something that stupid. Especially if they're rich celebrities. Especially if they talk about moving to a whiter country.

I think you've described most of them.

Canada's immigration website crashed in 2016. I doubt it came to much though.

Here is a mindfuck for you guys.

The Three-Fifth compromise was anti-slavery. Slave owners wanted slaves to be counted as a full person because it would give their states more representation. Abolitionists feared that slave owners would just breed themselves more representation and spread slavery to the whole country.
And in any case the Electoral College's prime function- Representation, is self-evident every time a bitter leftist advocates its abolition.

In 1776, the likes of Conneticut and New Jersey rightly questioned what say they would have should they join a union where half the population lives, not just in a couple of states, but in only 2 or 3 conurbations. Ensuring representation on a state level gives small, otherwise irrelevant states a say. It has nothing to do with race, in fact that poster loves race when its black women vote blocing to flip senate seats. What these activists want is for presidential candidates to do all their campaigning in NYC, California, and Atlanta. Totally ignore thousands upon thousands of miles of land and people, and win by popular vote. The electoral college provides at least a mechanism for smaller states to get noticed.

Seething city-dwellers is worth the cost of ensuring recognition for the varying states. Most of the time the likes of Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa make themselves irrelevant anyway, but they do that by themselves through loyalty to Republicans. Plus, the voters in, say, Nebraska have to actually live in Nebraska. Consider it consolation.

I wonder how true it is. It reminds me of the runors of neil druckmann forcing the employees at ND to watch videos from liveleak just to make the gorr realistic in tlou2 in the name just to get the message across.

The states with most of the population back then were very different to today, though. At the time of the founding Virginia had 1/5 of the national population and much of it was rural farmers and slaves. The 3/5 compromise came in to stop the southern slave states from dominating Congress.
