Dems Will Try to Abolish Electoral College This Week with Proposed Constitutional Amendment

I'm sure if Hillary had won they would have no problem with it though.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Yeah, not going anywhere. They don't have the support for it outside of the house and there is no way 3/4th of the states ratify it. I find it comical and fitting though that the guy proposing it has a last name of Schats. He and other democrats Schats on the Constitution.

Yeah, not going anywhere. They don't have the support for it outside of the house and there is no way 2/3rds of the states ratify it. I find it comical and fitting though that the guy proposing it has a last name of Schats. He and other democrats Schats on the Constitution.

You need 2/3 of both House and Senate to agree to a Proposed Amendment, and then 3/4 of the States to vote "yay" to ratify. No way in hell this goes anywhere.

I really hope they are hanging themselves by proposing radical ideas like this. I mean, if the motivation behind these proposals isn't crystal clear to anyone with a brain by now, it never will be. They know they have the major cities and doing this would secure their dominance. It's a MAJOR power grab and usurpation of our republican system.

Don't worry, they are.

A large bulk of Americans are too uneducated/ignorant/stupid/lazy to really think things through, so a power grab to them is great. After all, haven't white men and hicks had enough say over America? it's time for some diversity, etc. blah blah.

The death of conservatism is the death of America because much of the new is shit. Not all, but a lot of it.

I have been keeping pretty up on politics and world events. I have noticed a pretty strong trend back towards conservativism and nationalism. When you say batshit insane, obviously unscientific things like there are a million and one genders, only whites can be racists and other nonsense..... well people notice that and they take exception. People also notice the stagnation of wages, the concentration of wealth and uncontrolled immigration resulting in the destruction of national cultures. And folk take very strong exception to these things.
Brexit, followed by President Trumps election were the harbingers of things to come. The riots in Paris, Italy's recent swerve to the right, including a pro gun trend, are further signs of the coming times. Things are going to get worse for a time yet, the global its are running scared and will push back hard but they will only be throwing fuel into the fire by doing so. The west is rejecting globalism and authoritarianism.
The unrest has only just begun.

It takes 38 states to ratify. I don’t think that would ever happen. There would be more than 12 states that would feel completely removed from the election process.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

If you can't win the game.....

 

[Dr. Evil]

If you can't win the game.....

Change the rules.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Change the rules.

...till you do.

 

[Burzum]

Just the fact that the Dems (knowing full well the heavy lift) are peddling this garbage to retarded morons for votes is pathetic on their part.

 

[99cummins]

And if the dems managed to actually get this passed, they would argue to change it back the next time things didn’t go their way.

 

[GOPerfect]

This is not worth the paper it was written on...

Dead prior to officially submitted.

Nevada governor vetoes national popular vote compact

Sisolak said the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact “could diminish the role of smaller states like Nevada in national electoral contests.”

“In cases like this, where Nevada’s interests could diverge from the interests of large states, I will always stand up for Nevada,” he said in a statement. ​

BINGO!!!!!!!!! It's amazing that a Democrat governor actually gets it and speaks the truth.

 

[SomeSoldier]

Take this as a warning to how far they are willing to go to maintain their power. Dems will never give up power they will only take.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Prices are down on ammo, keep hoarding.

Imagine this kind of statement with regards to New York State:

Sisolak said the Statewide Popular Vote Intrastate Compact “could diminish the role of less populous counties like in Upstate New York in statewide electoral contests.”

“In cases like this, where Upstate's interests could diverge from the interests of large New York cities, I will always stand up for Upstate,” he said in a statement. ​

But...then...we don't have an electoral college in NY. I can dream...can't I?
