Fair enough, I just think that's semantics.

I'm pretty sure just bypassing the vote by direct elector appointment would obliterate faith in the elections forever, is my problem.
It happened in 1824 and 1877. And Trump has a popular mandate in my view.

Liberals shitting bricks over Trump's popular vote.

Biden's popular vote is basically California as the people's pundit guy is saying. Nuke California and Biden is worth less than a dead rotting skunk on the side of the road. And fuck California.
 
If you don't realize the US has for decades at this point operated on "it's ok when we do it", I don't know what to tell you honestly.
Not only that, but other countries tend to do shit like this better than the US. Electoral fraud? They get away with it for several years before people start looking into it. Here? Not even over yet and there are lawsuits, recounts and investigations.
 
Republicans need to take this to Supreme Court. Article 1 forbids states from such agreement. They claim to get around it by saying “oh it’s a compact, not an agreement”, but that’s “I’m not driving, I’m traveling” tier.

Well, that rather depends on who has a majority on the court, doesn't it? If it's packed with Democrats they'll find emanations from a penumbra that mean the NPVIC is just dandy.

I'm not trying to black pill anyone, just saying that if it all goes to shit you can't rule that sort of thing out.

A big chunk of the country would be downwind and get cancer. I'll pass.

Show of hands: who else here is happy they don't live in a large, dense, Democrat-controlled urban area?

Honestly. Looking at how megacities wound up I am so fucking happy Cadiz (city) can't expand anymore. And if you don't see why someone would be happy his city is surrounded on all sides by uninhabitable terrain, well I'll spoiler that explanation 'cause it's not important to the thread, but just know for tl;dr: it ain't just politics that are hurt by high density, it's every single facet of life that is worse in there.

I was gonna say "long story short" but... I'm a long winded cunt. Prologue: Cadiz right now is in fairly poor shape, that's 'cause under the regime's hypercentralization and lack of international commerce it went to shit, 'cause, you know Cadiz is a city that literally made a living of being an international trade port, so, yeah... But point is. Because of that between Franco's Commieblocks (those ugly as sin modern buildings invented by the russians) taking over the new region and the old region falling to disrepair, well yeah, it's gotten real bad by the time democracy came. But shit's been kicking up since then! At this point large parts of the old town have been repair, even peatonized which was a long time coming, our infrastructure and services have been getting better by the month since Kichy is on the government (he's not the best mayor out there, but he's the best we've had so far... not a hard feat, being the 3rd and preceded by 2 completely incompetent corrupt bastards, ejem.) and even some of the commieblocks are getting phased in favor of less ugly buildings (although nothing too fancy so far, sadly. But at least they're not eyesores.) I'd say give it a decated and it'll be back to its old glory!

To the point: so, because of this getting better, a lot of people have rumbled about how sad it is that Cadiz is connected to the peninsula by a thin landbridge and some artificial bridges, and surrounded by protected marisma we can't build upon, so it can't grow. And honestly? I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY IT CAN'T.

On the one hand, if we could grow much less emphasis would've been put on repairing and changing the old buildings, we'd end up like "las 3000 viviendas" on seville, abandoned and crowded while the new parts of town grow. I'd much rather have nature itself force these lazy bastards to take care of the town! Furthermore, this has forced our province to spend more in roads and rails, and communicate the rural areas better, to grow them. And thanks to that we've been growing to the point we're the third province in andalusia in population terms, with everyone else falling behind drastically. Furthermore, we did this without having a megacity, unlike the first 2 and even some spanish provinces that still have less population than us, and this, ladies and gentleme, THIS IS THE BEST GIFT WE COULD'VE HOPED FOR.

It's kind of ironic how indeed Corona fucking shows that 100%. Cadiz had some of the most serious logistical issues in spain due to Seville taking our medical equipment away and the corruption of Los Pascuales, it was panick inducing when the first wave hit it was downright apocalyptic, if we followed the trends of the rest of spain, with our lack of resources, we'd have been massacred.

And yet... We're actually the province in spain with less deaths per capita. Why? Well, 1-diseases like that spread much better through megacities. 2-Lower density and large natural surroundings allow for safer exercice and sun intake, which heighten people's defenses and prevent spread. (Salinity from the sea also helps clean the air, and high wind rates too.), 3-Kichi was one of the few provincial governors that actually cared about the residences, because thanks to the larger decentralization, local government was capable of sounding the alarm more efficiently (in most megacities only 1 municipality has a substantial number of residences, so the alarm got lost amongst background noise, here every village got its own and got worried, hence it was loud and clear) (and this is a perfect example as to why I say he's the best mayor we've had and that's not a high mark... He's a netherlands-born ancom that thinks "fatphobia" is real and was presented as a literal joke vote the first year we saw him, but, well, he actually cares and doesn't go full petty tyrant. Seems that's enough to be the damned best nowadays. Which says more of our politicians than it says about him.

Point is. Corona is just one more example of the simple fact: megacities are horrible. The fact that our very geology forced Cadiz to decentralize like it has keeps proving to be a blessing in disguise every passing year, from culture (thanks to being more populated the villages can maintain their old traditions instead of getting absorbed), to hygiene, to infrastructure to even economy (with every municipality having its own city with its separate economical model they can change tax rates accordingly, which has allowed some to be far more lenient than they'd usually be. Sadly not Cadiz (city) itself but well at least I'm happy the province is growing (Cadiz city has a massive debt left by the last major and while Kichy has lowered taxes and reduced the debt to now less than half, well, we're still getting there. Again another example of how Kichy just doing the bare minimum makes him look like the autistic messiah just because of how shit everyone else is.

And indeed even Politics. Thanks to having the population disperse, we have different parties managing to take different villages and their separate economic models giving rise to different ideologies. I mean, by the end of the day we're still heavily on the leftie side of spanish politics, but we do have a few right wing strongholds amongst the white villages, (and also the 2 suburbs of El Puerto and Algeciras), and a good amount of regionalists to shake things up on some of the high density areas. So hey, at least we can phase out the awful part of the left semi-regularly. If we were a megacity? Nah, those are either full PP or full PSOE almost always, we've seen very few flips there, and only once has it been to a minor party (Podemos taking over Madrid more concretely.) I'd much rather get this shit like this!

So, yeah, tl;dr: sure, not having room to expand may seem awful. But much like Kichy, it is the least awful option around when seen in context!

To be fair, there's reason to believe it's been happening for decades, but this year they went full retard against a candidate who fights back.
 
Get the link for this. This has to be a Photoshop job.
Well, MAGApede, it isn't.

The globalization of the U.S. is inevitable. No more will your isolationist policies prevail under the Biden administration. Soon we will all come together as one....and there is nothing you can do about it. All you can do is hope that your lil' orange fat cat finds his way out of this little blunder, except this time HE WON'T, SO HA!
 
And here's the archive.

We're really being screwed with.

Would it not make more sense to move the UN to New Jersey or Alaska? The only reason they get prime NY real estate is to try to get them to rubber stamp things like the invasion of Iraq which they end up not doing and are a terrible idea anyway.
