Barack Obama actually ran against John McCain and doesn’t act like a brat when he talks about him.
One person, one vote, my dude. When slavery was banned, the rationale for the EC vanished. There are no longer any slave states that need their representation artificially enhanced on top of slaves who couldn’t vote in the first place. One person…one vote. Period.

Exactly. Our states aren’t little fiefdoms that exist independently of each other. Why should someone in ND’s vote mean more than someone in CA’s? I really doubt they would be talking this way if they hadn’t won two of three elections where they lost the popular vote. TBH, I think the EC was a big mistake by the Founders and I think history even before 2000 hears me out. 1824 was a sketchy as hell election. I don’t like Andrew Jackson but the corrupt bargain he alleged that Henry Clay did to get Quincy Adams as POTUS was justified. 1876 was definitely stolen from TIlden and the Democrats and the Democrats only dropped the complaint to get Reconstruction ended. That leaves 1888 and four years later Cleveland ended up returning to the WH.

re: #32 Scottish Dragon
How else are states like ND supposed to be represented? You’re taking 20 mil vs <1 mil.
it the wrong question in the presidential context
ND is represented in the senate with 2
and in the house in proportion to its population
what is the 2019 (ok 2020) rationale in electing the president proportionally by state as opposed to one person, one vote?
- its a meaningless argument. the same can be said about states and senators.
- if a state has more population in cities than rural the cities elect the senators
- vice versa the rurals do.
- while within the entire state, it’s one person, one vote, no proportionality by, say congressional district.

re: #23 Dr Lizardo
Britain outlawed slavery three decades before the USA did by an act of Parliament, the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833.
One of the less subtle and rarely talked about arguments for the Declaration of Independence (particularly in the southern colonies) was the Somerset v Stewart case where Lord Mansfield freed a slave brought to Britain from the colonies, holding:
The state of slavery is of such a nature that it is incapable of being introduced on any reasons, moral or political, but only by positive law [statute], which preserves its force long after the reasons, occasions, and time itself from whence it was created, is erased from memory. It is so odious, that nothing can be suffered to support it, but positive law. Whatever inconveniences, therefore, may follow from the decision, I cannot say this case is allowed or approved by the law of England; and therefore the black must be discharged
That decision was in 1772, and caused a great deal of angst in the colonies, especially when slaves in the colonies started petitioning for freedom.

Congressional (and state/local legislative districts) must be drawn to have a near equal populations as possible. Now, sometimes that means one district might have more non-voters (either non-citizens or children) than another, but with the idea that we draw these lines once a decade, those concerns are less worrisome because children become adults, non-citizens become citizens, and people move. So, within the voting boundaries - whether state lines or district lines - it’s mostly one person one vote. The presidential vote is unique and doesn’t really fit with the principle of one person, one vote - you could make a compelling argument that if it wasn’t specifically in the constitution that it would be unconstitutional.

At some point, some immunocompromised kid who couldn’t be vaccinated will die of a measles contracted because some fucking moron didn’t vaccinate their own kid, and I hope that child’s parents sue the everloving fuck out of them.
Also, at some point a child whose custodial parent insisted on not vaccinating them will die of measles, and the noncustodial parent will sue, and I hope the take the moron to the cleaners.

It sadly is why Haiti has had rampant poverty for so long. A lot of nations refused to trade with them because they abolished slavery.
A big part of why other countries (including US) agreed to not attack Haiti is that they had to pay reparations to France. Seriously. The new country of Haiti was deemed to owe France the appraised value of the slaves France lost when Haiti freed them all and called them citizens.
They obviously didn’t have that kind of cash on hand; they borrowed it from the US and made more than 100 years of payments on that debt.

re: #110 KGxvi
Congressional (and state/local legislative districts) must be drawn to have a near equal populations as possible. Now, sometimes that means one district might have more non-voters (either non-citizens or children) than another, but with the idea that we draw these lines once a decade, those concerns are less worrisome because children become adults, non-citizens become citizens, and people move. So, within the voting boundaries - whether state lines or district lines - it’s mostly one person one vote. The presidential vote is unique and doesn’t really fit with the principle of one person, one vote - you could make a compelling argument that if it wasn’t specifically in the constitution that it would be unconstitutional.
i think we’re agreeing though you’re talking more about how reps are elected.

Russia’s serfs had to pay back the government for the money paid to reimburse their owners.

The GOP primary audience and the Democratic primary audience are a bit different. The GOP primary voters in 2016 had been waiting for a wrecking ball like Trump for decades. I don’t think the Democratic primary voters are interested in that sort of thing now.
The electorate as a whole, seems to have changed after Trump’s election. I think 2018 shows that voters are a bit more aware than most had been in prior elections.
Lastly, debates aren’t so much about changing minds or advancing/moderating policy proposals. They are, in modern elections, about managing expectations. Trump “won” because he exceeded incredibly low expectations by a decent amount. Bernie as a putative frontrunner is going to have very high expectations, and if he doesn’t meet them, let alone exceed them, he’s going to be perceived as having “lost” the debate. That’s especially true in primary debates where the major candidates are shades of blue rather than the contrast of red and blue in the general election (where also, it’s still mostly about perception and expectations).
Look up the definition of “leadership”. It requires followers.

I read that story with a bit of skepticism.
Namely, I too think that clear cutting trees for the sake of solar in a region where the insolation is not that great (compare to us here in San Diego) is a backwards step.
For those in the north, geothermal is often a better approach to moving to a non-carbon energy source. Those in the wind-belt of course can put up a few turbines, but in the low areas of the East Coast wind is often not a reliable source of energy.

I’m studying Spanish. Sorry.
Now that I think about it, since I am actually, at this moment studying spanish, I should have said estudiando español. I haven’t used that one much so I forgot about it.

I am curious — is Trump’s Council of Economic advisers competent? And are their reports credible? The CEA tweeted that they were totally aware of this prank.
Who showed Trump how to post videos? That person should be flogged.

I keep reading news headlines claiming that Willard Romney really slammed Trump over McCain today. I read what he said and just want to say that “slam” has apparently completely changed meaning since the last time I looked it up.

Yeah it was a light tapping at most. It’s still going to infuriate all of Dear Leader’s fans tho.
tbh I think Liz Mair’s a little off herself, but it’s absolutely bizarre that Devin Nunes focused on her.

Interesting to see West Virginia using consumer protection laws to go after pedophile priests
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey sued the Catholic diocese of Wheeling-Charleston and its former bishop Michael J. Bransfield on Tuesday, charging that they “knowingly employed pedophiles and failed to conduct adequate background checks” for people working in Catholic schools and camps, a news release from Morrisey’s office says.
The lawsuit, the latest dramatic civil action against the American church in the past year, alleges violations of the state’s consumer protection laws. It accuses the diocese of advertising safe environments for children while at the same time, the complaint says, choosing “to cover up and conceal arguably criminal behavior of child sexual abuse.”
Some child abuse experts said the move was precedent-setting, both in terms of targeting an entire diocese rather than individual priests, and by using consumer law to launch a civil lawsuit which could unlock the church’s files through legal discovery. The West Virginia attorney general used the consumer fraud strategy because, as with attorneys general in other states, he is not empowered to launch a criminal grand jury investigation.
The dental hygienist is a chatty one, clearly conservative, and, to be honest, a bit out there. She would make a great chattering nun from Good Omens. But she told me today that she thinks that marijuana should be legal because even though she never did it - she admits to drinking more than her fair share when she was younger - she knows quite a few people who have smoked it and it hasn’t done anything to them, and they didn’t decide they needed something stronger later on.
re: #241 The Vicious Babushka
I find it ironic that Conservatives are upset about their speech being censored on the web as being against the open discourse of ideas, yet for some reason they seem to feel that speaking freely about dreaming of murdering healthcare providers at Planned Parenthood, denying due process of the law to people of differing melanin content for the perceived crime of even existing and denying anyone of any other faith as having rights of freedom of worship is somehow “un-American” as something other than the hate speech that it obviously is, but I guess the English that I understand and use is somehow a completely different definition and meaning when they use it, but I guess that’s how it is when you live in a context free environment.

“…The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has fined the company at least 10 times since 2002 — and at least twice last year — for various pollution incidents. The company also has been in “significant” noncompliance with the federal Clean Water Act for nine of the last 12 quarters, according to an Environmental Protection Agency enforcement database.

O’Reilly never apologized for his venomous attacks on Tiller, which led to his murder. These conservatives want to be free to promote hate speech but these snowflakes cannot take humor directed against them. They want to silence their critics and only permit their ideas to circulate.

Every time my sister says that Trump will announce his assumption of the title President for Life, I point out that the Constitutional approach is for him to have his offspring serve 2 terms each. Nothing prevents such a nightmare from happening. You can retain the form of the Constitution while totally abandoning its substance.
re: #216 Belafon
As people pointed out, McCain supported repeal and replace. What he didn’t support was repeal and maybe we’ll get back to it at a future date.
All this time and they still don’t even have a “replace” to look at and argue over
Not that there ever really was gonna be one…

There’s a reason people keep moving out of these shitholes to states like New York and California, where they generate the wealth that subsidizes the rest. 10 states subsidize the other 40, and these assholes want to disenfranchise all of them (except Texas, I imagine).

Several current and former aides described Trump’s weekend Twitter episode as borne out of idle hands. Limited staff around, few obligations, no golf, 48 hours looking at the walls… “it never works out well,” one former senior aide said. Averaged more than a tweet an hour.

As lottery jackpots climb so do the number of silly and misleading articles pushed around on social media or published in mainstream outlets.

Such a blatant load of shit. If he had lost the EC but won the PV, he’d be complaining nonstop. Principle lacking lying loser.
So Trump spends his days either golfing, or watching Fox News.

So, as I understand it, Germany’s economy is growing faster than expected, and the Trump administration is upset that they’re not just throwing random money at their military to meet some arbitrary deadline.
