Did I say “we”. I meant “me”.

I’ve pretty much lost this debate guys. White flag.

TBH the best idea is the judge system.

2:15 until the showdown. Good luck tonight. And remember, if it doesn't go the way you want, it's only the fate of the Republic.

I've picked up a 12 pack of Corona to help my television screaming, and to support my Mexican brothers.

but Democracy doesn't mean exclusively Mob Rule, often what defines a Democracy is its opposition rights

to me it's more a lesser of evils than an inherent virtue. I don't care about everyone having equal say as an ideal. But the alternative of dictatorship just has more potential to go drastically wrong.

I'm fine with representative democracy as a compromise but I don't see the point in weighting the input of certain states over others. I've yet to hear anyone here offer any compelling reason why the electoral college is actually preferable to the popular vote...Big3 just made a vague appeal to mob rule not being ideal but I don't see how mob rule on the state level is somehow preferable.

That’s a real option?

When you beat off do you only fantasize about people you’ve already ****ed?

Bruh the "everything is equally impossible" angle is very myopic and lazy. You're just inserting a sense of hopelessness to justify not examining how realistic or practical your ideas are. Stop looking for the easy way out, you know better.

having any interest in any of these conversations is utterly pointless

Isn't it just giving the rural mob an edge over the urban mob? No mobs have been taken out of the equation.

[jwb]

No, it's doing two things.

1) giving an edge to smaller states overall
2) making it so that in all but a few states voting is actually pointless to the overall result. Whether you live in rural Wyoming or Los Angeles, your state is pretty much either solid red or solid blue every year so voting is pointless. Only swing states have any potential to actually change the election results.

Also, what is the rationale behind giving the rural mobs an edge in the first place?
