Listened to a good Dave Rubin talk today about the electoral college. It was very interesting.

...and if during that evaluation it's considered to still be the superior method, then I would be ok with that also.

Isn’t there a Winston Churchill quote? Something like democracy is the worst choice, except for all the other bad choices.

Can someone please direct me to the “sane/moderate” wing of the Democratic Party?

Would you like that "to go" or will you be dining in?

I'd vote for that plate of wings over ANY of the current Dem candidates.

I'd vote for that plate of wings over ANY of the current Dem candidates.

I'd vote for the aftermath of those wings the following morning over any Democratic candidate.

Do you have a time machine?

I agree that it should be reevaluated, because there are some parts of it that are either out of date or were never the cause for concern that the founders thought. One of those things is the delegates as proxies for state representation. It’s never been necessary and it’s usefulness seems to be primarily exploitive to subvert the popular will.

For example, Ron Paul. Remember last time he ran, all he kept saying was that the primaries don’t matter. It’s the delegates that matter. And I understand primary delegates aren’t the same as electoral delegates used in the general election. But it’s the same principle. It seems to me more likely that a clever person could position loyal delegates to sway an election. Long shot for sure, but still more likely than those delegates saving the country from a tyrant. It’s more likely the clever tyrant would use the system to defeat it.

But the part about the electoral college that needs to be preserved is the protection against highly populated regional cultures imposing their will on the whole country. All these blue states adopting the NPVIC would drop it like a used rubber the first time their state electors have go vote for a Republican.

Are you talking about the leaders or the rank and file? Leaders? Gabbard was the DNC chair, for crying out loud. But granted the party leadership is being taken over by the crazies. As far as sane democrats, I’d say Alpo fits in that group. Sure, he’s a bit grumpy, but that’s probably because he’s just old. But still sane. How many like him? A hell of a lot more than you’re estimating.

Disclaimer: I’m not endorsing or defending democrats. It’s just that someone was wrong on the internet and I had to correct them.

Hey INGO - check this out! Jamil says he's a democrat now!

Bloomberg (or his campaign) is reporting people for mentioning that he was in Jeffrey Epstein's "black book"

Done and done.

The Democratic Party thread


Go for it gals and guys.

I like it. We also need a republican thread where the democrats will respect our wishes and not post in it. Everywhere we go we have to listen to democrats, TV, Music, Movies, Gaming, Sports, etc. would be nice to have 1 place to escape.

Those outstanding Democrats. Just doing what they do..............

I hope you don't think that's exclusive to democrats. Sexual deviants exist, in numbers, on both sides. There's no party-line exclusivity for that.

Biden makes a gaff? Oh Noes!
Still prefer him over the Cheeto messiah.

A gaff? That dude is a gaff machine. He can't put two coherent paragraphs together. Now I'm seeing headlines from places like dailykoz suggesting he has dementia, that he's not playing with a full deck. Trump doesn't have that problem. Trump's problem is that he uses the full deck he has to say and do things many people find distasteful.

Not me. I love what he says.

Are we setting up safe spaces now?

I think because of the rules for that thread are quite restrictive, it's going to be a very lonely place. A small bubble, if you will. I also think the stipulations promote the bubble. Anyone may opine about any of the Trump threads, which often leads to discussion between various points of view. That promotes the thing that's good about free speech. It tends to at least expose different points of view to others' points of view. That's a good thing. But if only democrats can post there about democrat stuff, well, let's just say it probably won't be too busy.

Or maybe that was the point.

Betting odds show Sanders winning 13 of 14 Super Tuesday races

That would get almost all of the others to drop out. I'd see only 1-2 others sticking around after that.

You must be new here. The odds of the OP’s wishes outlasting the first 40 post page is virtually nil.
