If KH wins, you could lose your TX layup Senate seat & create a 50/50 Senate that Walz would control.Polls remain close. Kamala might pull this off. Hopefully not, but if she wins, likely looking at an R senate.

I think I’m against it, but am not certain. I read where the candidate with the least votes has only won 5 times, which suggests the EC works, but there are good arguments on both sides of the issue.

Violent imagery? Lol
Democrats have repeatedly used violent rhetoric against former president: 'Time to put Trump in a bullseye'
Democratic politicians are facing renewed scrutiny over their heated anti-Trump rhetoric following the second assassination attempts against former president Trump.
I must have missed the 72 hour media cycle where they wall-to-wall criticized Biden for that. How stupid are you?
My pool is still open and pump running. Even 10 years ago I would have shut it down because of nights in the 20s by this point in November.
Don't believe me or the scientists.... Go ask a farmer.
The earth is warming period.
The only question now is the extent to which humans are the cause.
Ah, now I get it. You are one of those population bomb Malthusian idiots. It all makes sense now. Frankly I didn’t know anyone was stupid enough to believe in that anymore since it has all been debunked. You are now dismissed.
There never was a "population bomb"
Society incorrectly blamed a "population bomb” for problems that had other causes. A wrong diagnosis produces ineffective solutions.

And so he proved me RIGHT once again. His claim to be a "moderate" is BS.
We get DEMONstrations of that in this thread every single day.
No there’s not…not even a little bit. Ending the electoral college will end any semblance of balance and we will turn into a one party state and tyranny of the majority will be the future.I think I’m against it, but am not certain.

Just imagine if Dems could win the White House by manufacturing as many votes as they want in just California where are no checks and balances whatsoever…
The Electoral college sucks. It throws out the votes of thousands of Americans.

The big cities are shitholes and they would be determining the entire direction of the country (more than they do now) and there would be zero reason for the rest of the country to participate. Only idiots that want to destroy the country argue against the EC.
Every single position I've seen you take on here is leftist. Now, I appreciate you like to describe yourself as a moderate ... that you're above the fray (and so much better than us partisans), but you're simply a leftist who doesn't have the courage to admit your true position.
MAGA memes are not the real world. 🤣Back in the real world....
Had no idea there was a mass shooting in Orlando 1 am Friday until I was on X this morning.
Then I saw who the shooter was and then I knew why corporate media wasn’t covering it.
Zero mentions from CNN or MSNBC on Twitter.

I find it amazing that so many Dims were on the record about the need to secure elections through the use of paper ballots. And then 2020... yet NOT ONE of them have been questioned on it, at least more than a softball question.
They must literally want to destroy, or maybe "fundamentally transform" this country.
It’s odd that lefties who never STFU about minorities are against the electoral college which is supposed to help representation of “the minority.”
I beg your pardon, Sam.
"The median existing-home price will rise to $410,700 in 2025, from a forecast for 2024 of $403,400, and to $420,000 in 2026, Yun said alongside updated NAR projections. The annual 30-year fixed mortgage rate will slide to 5.9% in 2025 but then move higher to 6.1% in 2026."
Median home prices in Q1, 2021 were $355K. Therefore, prices increased $55K since Joe/Kamala regime came into existence.

This piece does a good job of summing up my political make-up, especially the part about being uninterested in politics for most of my life. I am 72, have never been registered as a Democrat or Republican and have only voted twice in my lifetime. 2020 and 2024. My wife is the same way and I know a few others just like us … apolitical, pretty much, until the 2000 election. To my view, I can relate to why there were so many voters in 2000.

And to your last sentence, let’s not regress back to the Stone Age until you know that for sure.
97 out of 100 scientists agree with whoever is funding them. How did you not learn this during Covid following “the science?”
Actually, the opposite. The electoral college helps elites by making it possible for minority rule.
Oh, he’s independent and reasonable but definitely not a leftist. He just has the exact views as a leftist and votes Democrat.
I make sure to tell people that just because I have UK hats, sweatshirts, jerseys, shorts, and go to the games does not mean I’m a Kentucky fan. I’m a reasonable impartial fan that has no bias. 😂

And quoting vox does not help your "moderate" assertion.
Like many others on here, I used to be a registered Dim, but then I grew up.
He says he is 72, so I'm going to give him some grace. He may just not realize that he has been duped.
But your analogy is so Fing good. Well done.
Got to the Scott County Court House when it opened this morning. Stood in line for an hour to vote.
Far too many women voting for my liking. They really gum up the works (they take FAR too long to vote. It's like watching an old person try and order fast food.)

I can immediately identify the problem voters in front of me.
Women (unless they're with their husband.)
Sandals
Anyone that "studies" the sample ballot. (if you don't already know, then you're wasting time, and canceling out an informed vote.)
"Is this where I vote?" person.

You are correct about China and India which is why 97 percent of scientists believe the warming is man made.
The warming has accelerated rapidly right in alignment with the rise of the Indian and Chinese economic booms.
Unfortunately it's probably going to reach crisis level before the world acts in unison on this issue.
Probably takes so long because of the selfies they have to take in the voting booth where they save the world by knowing no other issue but abortion.
80 years from now when we’re run by globalist commies, they will still vote for abortion. “Sure I’m a slave in the bread lines and the government has destroyed the west but they tell me I can kill my baby if I hypothetically ever had sex and got pregnant so I’ll keep voting for the regime although they don’t even bother counting ballots anymore.”
Yeah.... A cheeseburger was a nickel in the 30s. 🤣I beg your pardon, Sam.

People are still buying cheeseburgers and houses.
I watched at LEAST 2 dozen women taking the I voted selfie.
When I was offered the sticker, I declined and mumbled something about wasting tax dollars on nonsense.

You sound like the life of the party and a ladies man.....or possibly Archie Bunker.
Andy is only advocating for the same situation he enjoys at the state level be enacted at the fed.
How much time did Andy campaign in Carlisle county compared to Fayette and Jefferson?
It can also help fascist redneck movements like MAGA.
Regardless, it is minority rule.
same here. i noticed lots of women voters, seemingly more than usual, but maybe not. concerning though
If you mean that I show up informed, don't waste time with nonsense, and try to keep things moving, because there are a lot of people waiting, then I'm guilty as charged.
I have zero doubt that from ballot in hand, until the scan, that you f*** it up at every possible turn.
Or ya know...the federal government could enforce federal law. Crazy idea I know.
The electoral college only bothers people that are too stupid to understand how/why it came about, and why it is necessary.
VH was pissed
