He beat Kentucky in a title game...put me on the jury...guilty!
I like Gaetz. Dude fights dirty. Wish there were more Republicans like him.
They are directly proportional dumbass. 53 to 1 based on population as you said.The electoral votes aren't directly proportional for a states size because each state gets 2 + a minimum of 1 more based on population. For example, California is 53 times bigger than Alaska. California gets 55 electoral votes, Alaska 3. That's only 18.3x more electoral votes for California over Alaska.
So this modified electoral college system is not directly reflective of the overall popular vote either. If it was and Alaska had the standard 3 electoral votes, then California would have 159 electoral votes.
no they are not. Every state is guaranteed 3 electoral votes even if they only have 1 population and the pool of electoral votes is fixed. smaller states get more electoral votes per person than larger states. voting power is diluted as a states population rises. california gets 1 electoral vote for every 721,000 people. alaska gets 1 electoral vote for every 245,000 people. Texas 1 for every 755,000. New York 1 for every 673,000. For larger states they are close in voting power but the really small states screw it all up, any state under 5 mil pop.They are directly proportional dumbass. 53 to 1 based on population as you said.
states are free to run their elections however they want. Well except the racist states, they are bound to all that anti racist voting law stuff. Electoral voters are already free to vote for whoever they want no matter who the people vote for. Some states have penalties in place if they vote a certain way, other states don't. Every presidential election has token electoral votes for someone they weren't "supposed" to vote for. The idea behind this leeway was the electoral college could stop some maniac from taking office if the people voted like idiots. These days only the worst people run for President and the people only vote for useless idiots so the system can't do much to to check that. So far the electoral college has never strayed far from their states results because that would be "political suicide" but i wouldn't expect that to hold anymore since anything goes now.
I can honestly say I stopped reading after you said "except the racist states, they are bound to all that anti racist voting law stuff".
I shouldn't have expected anything different, but thought I'd give you a chance. Forcing someone to show they are actually 1) who they say they are and 2) a citizen in order to vote is not racist. It will never be racist.

Only a university in America would allow this type of talk. The down fall of this nation will be rooted in our colleges and universities. They are a breeding ground for Marxism and have been for a half of century. Like many in my generation I went through the university not paying one bit of attention to the political opinions of my professors. My eyes were on a degree, not retaining the filth they spewed out in class. Give me my 3 hours credit and shut up Mr Professor man.California professor reprimanded for saying police 'need to be killed'

UC Davis professor Joshua Clover, whose work focuses on critical theory, political theory, political economy, poetry, poetics and Marxism, has been reprimanded for saying that cops “need to be killed.”
Tweets:
“I am thankful that every living cop will one day be dead, some by their own hand, some by others, too many of old age #letsnotmakemore”
“I mean, it’s easier to shoot cops when their backs are turned, no?”
“People think that cops need to be reformed. They need to be killed.”
You can't talk to these radical leftists because they are too indoctrinated, too entrenched in their total nonsense to see the truth staring them in the face.Platinum is a moron. His takes align with the goofy fat kid wearing the Che shirt in high school
You describe our federal system well: The interests of minorities are protected.no they are not. Every state is guaranteed 3 electoral votes even if they only have 1 population and the pool of electoral votes is fixed. smaller states get more electoral votes per person than larger states. voting power is diluted as a states population rises. california gets 1 electoral vote for every 721,000 people. alaska gets 1 electoral vote for every 245,000 people.

does all the math for you, shows population per elector.
So we are now asking Russia what they want us to do when dealing with foreign despots, all the while pliant republican lemmings care not a wit, acting like nothing more than obsessed, single-minded and drunk sports fans, they continue to rant in the stadium while their house burns down.
I'd say you know what you're talking about, but that's going out on a limb.So we are now asking Russia what they want us to do when dealing with foreign despots, all the while pliant republican lemmings care not a wit, acting like nothing more than obsessed, single-minded and drunk sports fans, they continue to rant in the stadium while their house burns down.
No, we got out of the Russia-backed Iran deal your boy Barry whored us out for. Thanks for asking though.So we are now asking Russia what they want us to do when dealing with foreign despots, all the while pliant republican lemmings care not a wit, acting like nothing more than obsessed, single-minded and drunk sports fans, they continue to rant in the stadium while their house burns down.
Pretty bog standard sex ed stuff imo. Add in some "how to marry a prostitute for 30 minutes and divorce her so you don't technically commit adultery" and it's just like my elementary sex ed classes.Forced marriage? Female genital mutilation.... but why?![]()
FYI USA is 35th:

Wow, looks like the buzzfeed story was right after all. The technical distinction being that Trump made it clear he expected Cohen to lie rather than "directing" him to.
Cohen's testimony opening statement. The special counsel said "inaccurate" which is true. Cohen said he was not directed to lie, but that Trump told him "there is no business in Russia" despite concurrently sending him the negotiate for the Moscow tower. He was expected to lie, which is the distinction from buzzfeed.The Buzzfeed story the Special Counsel's office made the extreme, unprecedented move of saying was bullshit is true? What makes you think that?
