Abolish the Electoral College? Progressives better be careful what they wish for. The way people are fleeing from the Left and Right coast to Texas and Florida they might find the popular vote dominated by the Gulf Coast.
If you are ever faced with someone who is enthusiastic about ending the Electoral College, listen very, very carefully to their arguments. You see, without realizing it, they will be explaining to you in great detail all of the reasons why we do need to have the Electoral College.
Saddest part of your commentary is that many believing this foolishness learned it (or rather didn’t) in our public education system. I had to school a good conservative leaning, gun owning friend regarding the importance of the electoral college. He was leaning toward abolishing it because of the crap spewed by our lame-stream media…sigh

Too often they soften their ways – and voting tendencies – after they’ve “escaped.”
It’s been decades yet, still, some obviously sinister truths about the Left haven’t reached mainstream cognition. Waiting becomes less of an option day by day…
They’re always spewing about “our democracy”. Thankfully, we have a republic. “If we can keep it.”, as Mr. Franklin once said. It’s wonderful to live in a place with such a gorgeous panoramic view. Mine here is very similar.
They clearly hate The Bill of Rights, as it steadfastly blocks their beloved long march to World Socialism. Wouldn’t it be something if they could finally come out and admit it?
Wasn’t it Jugears Odipsh*t who once referred to it as “a bill of *negative* rights”?
Yes, they despise the BoR in general and the 1st & 2nd amendments in particular.
The 1st because it guarantees our right to speak our minds and challenge their policies/talking points.
The 2nd because it gives us the power to back up our challenges if it comes to that. And they KNOW for a fact they could *never* marshal enough firepower to challenge over 150M+ heavily armed citizens who’s only *crime* is simply wanting to be left the hell alone.
It’s the only reason they continue to jump through their own assholes trying to whittle away at the 2A to where it becomes meaningless.
And Trumps stance on the 2A only exacerbates their TDS all the more!! Not to mention the fact that he *REFUSED* to call for any bans on AR-15s or any other forms of “gun control” even *after* having been wounded in the Butler PA assassination attempt.
He looks like he is judging Sam, instead of being grateful for the bounty he is about to receive. Unusual? We all need to be more grateful for our spouses. Without them it would be a lonely world.
The People’s REEEpublic of Canuckistan is headed toward a constitutional crisis or three. The provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan are considering separating from Canada (a threat usually thrown around by Quebec) and some folks are suggesting they would petition the US from statehood.
Part of the reason is the Canadian Constitution’s current setup gives an effective veto by structure to Ontario and Quebec. This is especially true in the Senate. Rather than having two Senators per province, the current setup supposedly balances the “regions” with 24 Senators per region. The Constitution makes “the west” into a region, Ontario into a region, Quebec into a region and “the east” into a region… and Newfoundland, which joined Canada much later, is not lumped into the eastern region.
To make matters much, much worse, our Senators are appointed and serve to age 75. After 10 years of Trudeau the Younger, the Senate is super-stacked with leftoid activists. If Conservatives ever manage to win power again, they face a steep uphill battle getting any legislation passed.

But there’s no way to make it look that good on the NYT.
Huh. I read her first word as Nyet. Russian for No. Didn’t fit, At first. But then, if I squint just right . . .
There were words to read?
She has a couple good points.

Wouldn’t *that* bunch their knickers.

And yeah, Sam does make a good point……..x2.

Old saying: democracy is three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
The hammer should not be cocked on that revolver when she’s holding it like that.
Indeed!
And please tell me Sam is not teacupping with a second left hand! 😉
I can think of a couple things for her to be cupping. 🙂

Rocket Raccoon described the Left perfectly in “Guardians of the Galaxy 3”:
“You never wanted to make anything better. You just hate everything the way it is.”

Browncoat57, or at least we HAD a representative republic.

A perfect description of what happened to the richest nation in South America just recently.
