And your team is in charge of the most worthless branch.  Interesting.

Mitch, no need for you vote if you don't want to. What I think of you is a reflection of how you're behaving yourself in this thread. Either you're stupid or you're acting stupid. That's on you bro.

Do you understand the Electoral College at all?  Do you know why it exists?  Do you know why it will likely never go away (hint: it has nothing to do with what the majority want)?

Did you complain when the Supreme Court ruled the ACA was a tax? Roe v Wade? Or do you only complain when the voting doesn't go your way? Have you ever glanced through the constitution? I haven't, it's a long and boring read (I imagine), but I understand the basics of the cliff notes version. I understand there are laws that you don't like. There are laws I don't like too. Some of them (amazingly enough) might be the same laws. The Constitution outlines a way to change laws. Instead of just ignoring the laws you feel should be laws, you should ask your politicians to change the law in the manner outlined in the Constitution. Most laws that aren't changing the fundamentals of the country are (somewhat) majority rules. Now eliminating the Electoral College will force individual states to basically vote to give up their power...I don't think that's likely to happen in enough numbers to allow for that change. You see, for all the hating you love to do on rednecks, they have the right to be represented just as much as you do. This is a union of states. The states have a lot of power and they would have to decide in massive numbers to give up that power if that were to ever change. What do you think are the odds of that ever happening?

Making a bunch of assumptions based off of what may or may not have happened is reckless.

If history has taught us nothing else, we should know by now that if you have wealth - not money, but wealth - you can get away with just about anything until it's so obvious there's something there that it can't be ignored any more.  Even if you just have money, you can kill your wife and her waiter and get away with it.  It's never been a level playing field and it never will be a level playing field.

There's real wealth behind politicians at the national level.  Both parties are corrupt.  This is why all these politicians say stuff but do very little, even to Trump.  If someone starts actually digging into it, they all go down with the ship.  It's all superficial fluff to give the appearance of effort and results.  Meanwhile crazy people on the extremes of both parties (and I mean actual people mostly, not politicians) buy into the fluff hook, line, and sinker to push the divide further and cement the two-party system as the only way to protect their interests.

I'm generally not a conspiracy theory person, but I believe this one. It's plausible because even though it involves a lot of people, the true power is limited to so few and the politicians just do what their party tells them to do.  It's why the Republicans were/are scared of Trump and the Pelosi's of the world are worried about AOC types.  It's not because they are brilliant; it's because they are dumb enough to accidentally expose what really happens in Washington.  Neither party wants that happening.
