Should be hilarious watching leftists praise the electoral college voting system if Biden wins.

We opposed it when Obama won. I see no reason we would suddenly embrace it if Biden wins.

Your uninformed, heavily biased bullshit opinions are stupid.

I didn't read much criticism here about the system when Obama won.
Maybe it got lost somewhere in all the celebration.

Nobody has their finger on the pulse of the African-American community like Bambu does.

Obama won the popular vote too. I know you're smart enough, just barely, to see the distinction. And I believe it's going to happen again this year. Trump loses the popular vote but wins the election.

Also, nationally, the Electoral College is swinging increasingly in the Dems favor, Bambi. Texas might not go Blue in 2020, but in either 2024 or 2028, it will, and with even more electoral votes than it has now.

If that happens, then the jig is up for the presidency, unless something major happens. If the Dems lost the same three states again, but won Texas (at its current count) they win. There will be other changes, all of which are projected to leave the Dems down 3 compared to 2020... but Texas up 3.

This is without any other states flipping, like AZ or FL or GA.

Couldn't have had anything to do with your own biases, right?!

This is a piece from between Obama's two elections looking at public opinion:
https://news.gallup.com/poll/150245/americans-swap-electoral-college-popular-vote.aspx

Note how many Democrats favored replacing the Electoral College. Note that a majority of GOP folks did, too, if not as many as the Indies.

As immigrants pour into America from Mexico, South America etc and it becomes majority non-white it will all turn blue and stay that way forever.

https://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/white-people-should-give-up-their-homes/4079202/


A group of Black Lives Matter protesters in Seattle marched through a residential neighbourhood this week demanding[/b] that white residents give up their homes, dramatic video shows.


In this case, what is the right thing for the White people to do?

They should educate themselves on the history of the neighborhood, try to support black-owned businesses, and learn if deed theft occurred there
 -- but they don't owe their homes to the previous occupants.  That's not how this works.  Those folks need to take their megaphones to the homes of those who are responsible.

Sadly  I agree that Trump will win, but it'll be the opposite reason from "seeing the light".  Whatever that is.

I think Trump and the GOP are in for an epic beat down across the board.

Nah.... we've become a corrupt autocracy.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/17/politics/patricia-mark-mccloskey-rnc-st-louis-couple-guns-protesters/index.html

This seems to me to be an odd decision for a national convention.

I don't suppose it's an odd decision for a Trump convention...


Sort of like the Khans in '16.
