What an original and funny joke.
The other one is Cozy Glow.
Hoping for that.
National elections– Senate, House Of Representatives, President/Vice President– are always held on the first Tuesday of November in the US. Presidential elections are every four years (2000, 2004, 2008, etc.) and House/Senate elections are every two years, with Representatives serving two year terms and Senators six year terms, so that the entire Senate is never up for re-election at the same time. House/Senate elections on the years in the middle of a Presidential term (2002, 2006, 2010, etc.) are known as Mid-Term Elections; they usually see a lower turnout than Presidential elections despite ultimately having far more impact on how the country is run, but this is one of those times where the voting public seems to have realized just how critical mid-terms really are. Traditionally, mid-term results strongly favor the opposition party– in this case the Democrat Party– because it’s human nature to want payback when it turns out that politicians are… well, politicians, and make a lot of promises on the Presidential campaign trail that they just plain cannot deliver, and given that Trump is objectively the least popular American President since the press started keeping track of Presidential popularity, there is a very real chance that we could see a repeat of the 1994 mid-terms, where angry voters flipped control of Congress from the party in power to the opposition party.
That’s in the first or second week of November IIRC, right?
Kinda had my fill of propaganda for this election cycle.
Then I guess we’re done attempting to talk to each other, if you won’t even watch just the first minute of the first video.
I have no intention of watching either, sorry.
Did you watch at least one of the videos all the way through, if not both? Can you respond specifically to anything said in the videos?
The whole point is so that the majority of super-populated states and cities don’t impose their will over the less-populated states
That’s the boilerplate excuse for keeping yet another institution of slavery around in the 21st Century, but it’s an utterly ridiculous argument, because it’s built entirely on the 100% counterfactual conceit that entire states or entire cities or even entire districts always vote in lockstep, and that quantifiably does not happen in this reality. Precinct level results for any election are available with some digging, and the very idea that McMansion precincts on the lakefront side of a major city vote the same way as the urban hellhole precincts on the redlined side of town is laughably absurd.
The Electoral College was deliberately designed to give disproportionate weight to the votes of states with a high ratio of population to voters, because EC votes are apportioned based on population, but cast based on vote. Which states do you think had the highest percentage of people compared to the percentage of votes cast? Perhaps the ones where a sizeable number of those people were once considered to be property under the law? The EC doesn’t do anything like protecting against “tyranny of the majority”– also known to most people as “democracy”– and in fact codifies the exact, anti-democratic opposite, because a state with a huge number of slaves gets a huge number of Electoral votes… which are decided by a much smaller number of people than in states with a lower ratio of population/voters, and it most definitely still maps to the 21st Century thanks to felon disenfranchisement and the massive census boost provided by the prison-industrial complex. It’s no accident that the states with the highest incarceration rates are also the states with the most active and most underhanded efforts to disenfranchise as many poor and minority voters as possible. If EC votes were apportioned based on the total number of registered voters rather than the toatl number of warm bodies, Presidential elections would look rather quite different.
it’s important for each state to have sovereignty in how it conducts its own elections
No, it really isn’t, and doubly so for national elections in states with a long history of voter suppression and disenfranchisement. Georgia purged 107,000 voters from the rolls last week in advance of the most critical mid-term elections in 24 years; strangely enough, that former slave-owning and current mass prison-owning state with a well-documented history of open institutional racism and active suppression/disenfranchisement of Black voters somehow managed to come up with a way kick tens of thousands of poor Black citizens off the voter rolls after the Supreme Court ruled that it was no longer required to obtain preclearance from the Department Of Justice before changing their election laws.
The Electoral College protects against the tyranny of the majority (like if two wolves and a sheep are voting on what to have for dinner), encourages coalition building (you have to campaign in all of the states, not just the most populous ones), and discourages voter fraud. Please watch this video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6s7jB6-GoU
This video further elaborates on those ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXnjGD7j2B0 Basically, it’s important for each state to have sovereignty in how it conducts its own elections. (This video mentions Texas and California a lot; coincidentally, you and I live in those two states.)
The whole point is so that the majority of super-populated states and cities don’t impose their will over the less-populated states.

He lost the election by roughly three million votes– a larger margin than Kennedy won it, by the way– but the Electoral College was deliberately designed to subvert the will of the majority in favor of slave owners, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And that attitude is why trump won the election.
One is a cartoon character, the other is an evil filly.
>Season about how great diversity is
Gee, I wonder who’s president when this season was made 🤔🤔🤔
