+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xWill the anti-intellectuals (aka Conservatives) put more troops on the streets to boost their poll numbers? Why are you even on a football forum? Hates questioning. What about the question I asked you? Why are you on a football forum when you never, ever post about football? 1) Open your eyes 2) Please highlight the terms of signing up that require posts to be only football related 3) What are you doing in an off topic forum? 1. lol, any more cliches? How about something slightly more complex, e.g. "I form a representation of the cognitive dissonance of the conservative masses" or something else you read before you dropped out of 'Sociology: An Introduction". 2. Generally, football fans sign up to football forums. Nobody said you couldn't post here. But you should be called out for what you are. 3. Procrastinating, arguing with trolls, wasting my time etc, even though deep down I am subconsciously aware that you probably don't prescribe to anything you actually crap on about. Obviously haven't opened your eyes, then Say's the man that doesn't want to accept the political will of the American people and then talk about the intellectualism as if to insinuate a superiority complex. What political will is that, oh pray tell..... From the free and democratic Presidential Elections. The people spoke and they wanted Trump. Yes, some of them spoke & of those that spoke the majority didn't want Trump So what! Trump got the votes in the right place and won the College. Once again, changing the goal posts when the rules have been the same since Abraham Lincoln.

Yes, some of them spoke & of those that spoke the majority didn't want Trump It's the same in Australia. Governments are not formed by majority of votes but a majority in seats. Those be the rules. And yes, the college system is designed to give smaller States in the USA an adequate say. Trump got the votes in more States and therefore won the college votes in those states whereas Hillary just dominated some major population centres like NYC, LA and so forth.

The senate is set up so that all states have equal representation regardless of size, again policies are not just decided by ""New York, New Jersey and California". Why should the vote from someone in Wyoming be worth more than 3x the vote of someone in Pennsylvania when the president is a single elected official representing the entire nation?

America is enormous and incomparable to our voting system. The attitudes of the larger areas (I only recently returned from the USA) are completely different to those of the south west. Anything related to federal politics in the USA being virtually decided by 2 geographical centres is absolutely ridiculous.

It should be noted that only 5 presidents EVER have lost the popular vote and won the electoral college vote (since 1824 onwards). Prior to Trump it was Bush in 2000, and it hadn't happened before that since 1888. Trump had the third largest margin (only eclipsed by the margin in the 1824 and 1876 elections). So in other words no one with so few popular votes had been elected to the US Presidency for 140 years (or in the last 35 Presidential elections). So most the time the popular vote is reflective of the electoral college vote too.

I'm sorry but it was well established the rules of getting to presidency. Getting out of touch Hollywood millionaires to push your campaign message is surely not the way to proceed.

I don't know how much support Clinton had from celebrities ... most seemed more opposed to Trump than supportive of Clinton per se. Probably her biggest downfall, she focused too much on the man and not the game (policies). Trump trolled her well at times too, and she took the bait (especially in the debates).

So she neglected them. It was a yes or no answer. She was arrogant and lost. This is why the system is in place. As for the rest, you didn't see, obviously, her I'm with her campaign. Full of celebs and crap. Was rubbish. Hell even Mexicans couldnt stand her.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xWill the anti-intellectuals (aka Conservatives) put more troops on the streets to boost their poll numbers? Why are you even on a football forum? Hates questioning. What about the question I asked you? Why are you on a football forum when you never, ever post about football? 1) Open your eyes 2) Please highlight the terms of signing up that require posts to be only football related 3) What are you doing in an off topic forum? 1. lol, any more cliches? How about something slightly more complex, e.g. "I form a representation of the cognitive dissonance of the conservative masses" or something else you read before you dropped out of 'Sociology: An Introduction". 2. Generally, football fans sign up to football forums. Nobody said you couldn't post here. But you should be called out for what you are. 3. Procrastinating, arguing with trolls, wasting my time etc, even though deep down I am subconsciously aware that you probably don't prescribe to anything you actually crap on about. Obviously haven't opened your eyes, then Say's the man that doesn't want to accept the political will of the American people and then talk about the intellectualism as if to insinuate a superiority complex. What political will is that, oh pray tell..... From the free and democratic Presidential Elections. The people spoke and they wanted Trump. Yes, some of them spoke & of those that spoke the majority didn't want Trump So what! Trump got the votes in the right place and won the College. Once again, changing the goal posts when the rules have been the same since Abraham Lincoln. No, I responded to your statement. Logically. Electoral College has nothing to do with 'the people' wanting Trump Electoral college ensures that the president is not decided by just New York/New Jersey and California. Same old rubbish. If that's where most of the people live, I don't see a problem with that. Congress has local representatives and therefore policies are not just decided by "New York, New Jersey and California". The senate is set up so that all states have equal representation regardless of size, again policies are not just decided by ""New York, New Jersey and California". Why should the vote from someone in Wyoming be worth more than 3x the vote of someone in Pennsylvania when the president is a single elected official representing the entire nation? Why should the will of Snowflake states (term I was exposed to in the USA, can't claim it as my own) like California and New Jersey dictate what happens in South Carolina? America is enormous and incomparable to our voting system. The attitudes of the larger areas (I only recently returned from the USA) are completely different to those of the south west. Anything related to federal politics in the USA being virtually decided by 2 geographical centres is absolutely ridiculous. I just explained that they don't dictate because South Carolina and other smaller states are over represented in the senate and have local reps that should be voting for their interests in congress. I'm talking about their system not ours though a lot of it is directly comparable to theirs as we based certain ideas about our Federalism on their system. So 2 geographic centres is bad but the current 4 or 5 "swing states" deciding elections in the current system is awesome.

Anything related to federal politics in the USA being virtually decided by 2 geographical centres is absolutely ridiculous. It should be noted that only 5 presidents EVER have lost the popular vote and won the electoral college vote (since 1824 onwards). Prior to Trump it was Bush in 2000, and it hadn't happened before that since 1888. Trump had the third largest margin (only eclipsed by the margin in the 1824 and 1876 elections). So in other words no one with so few popular votes had been elected to the US Presidency for 140 years (or in the last 35 Presidential elections). So most the time the popular vote is reflective of the electoral college vote too. Didn't Clinton neglect to campaign in some states? I'm sorry but it was well established the rules of getting to presidency. Getting out of touch Hollywood millionaires to push your campaign message is surely not the way to proceed. You do realise that Trump is a celebrity millionaire??

Have never really heard a logical argument outside of potentially believing that it's right to take federalism to the nth degree but even then the system is pretty arbitrarily implemented.

+xComey's opening statement looks juicy, hopefully the rest of the senate hearing is. -PB I don't think there will be any legal ramifications, although I think it will hit him hard in the polls (I think he is already below 40% popularity ... most President's don't hit that low until the end of their terms). Not sure what the workplace rules are in America regarding unfair dismissal. In essence it appears that Trump fired Comey because he wouldn't stop an investigation at the President's behest (which he doesn't have the legal jurisdiction to do). I wonder if the investigation is still ongoing ... if not, then there may be a case for obstruction of justice against the President.

So 2 geographic centres is bad but the current 4 or 5 "swing states" deciding elections in the current system is awesome. Over represented? The Electoral College ensures that the presidential results are not urban-centric which is what was intended I believe. The argument for the Electoral College is that the votes better represent America as a whole rather than the vote representing what urban centres want. Even with the E.C, California is still the most powerful state when it comes to voter representation, depending on which method you use. Arguments against are obviously that it's not 'true' democracy, that this model forces intense campaigning in swing states and that the E.C represents more people in larger states compared to small ones.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xWill the anti-intellectuals (aka Conservatives) put more troops on the streets to boost their poll numbers? Why are you even on a football forum? Hates questioning. What about the question I asked you? Why are you on a football forum when you never, ever post about football? 1) Open your eyes 2) Please highlight the terms of signing up that require posts to be only football related 3) What are you doing in an off topic forum? 1. lol, any more cliches? How about something slightly more complex, e.g. "I form a representation of the cognitive dissonance of the conservative masses" or something else you read before you dropped out of 'Sociology: An Introduction". 2. Generally, football fans sign up to football forums. Nobody said you couldn't post here. But you should be called out for what you are. 3. Procrastinating, arguing with trolls, wasting my time etc, even though deep down I am subconsciously aware that you probably don't prescribe to anything you actually crap on about. Obviously haven't opened your eyes, then Say's the man that doesn't want to accept the political will of the American people and then talk about the intellectualism as if to insinuate a superiority complex. What political will is that, oh pray tell..... From the free and democratic Presidential Elections. The people spoke and they wanted Trump. Yes, some of them spoke & of those that spoke the majority didn't want Trump It's the same in Australia. Governments are not formed by majority of votes but a majority in seats. Those be the rules. And yes, the college system is designed to give smaller States in the USA an adequate say. Trump got the votes in more States and therefore won the college votes in those states whereas Hillary just dominated some major population centres like NYC, LA and so forth. Otherwise you get a situation where dipshits like Dial it in controlling with other late sipping inner city flogs and the working class having no say whatsoever and never again in the foreseeable future. Good to see mods doing their job on forum rules.... You make a decent point. TheSelectFew, you could easily make your point as effectively without the petty name calling. Seeming we're on decent points about enforcing forum rules, what's your opinion on mods letting a user that's been banned 3 times run a multi? Well considering mods don't enforce rules on here, anything's possible when it comes to 'logical consistency' If they did perhaps you might have issues for questioning the intelligence of certain types of people..... it would probably allow less swearing & personal insults, that people use as a proxy for an 'argument'. Pertinently, you tend to find the less intelligent use said proxy....

Particularly when said person is using it to discredit an opinion based on a fallacious stereotype.

What political will is that, oh pray tell..... From the free and democratic Presidential Elections. The people spoke and they wanted Trump. Yes, some of them spoke & of those that spoke the majority didn't want Trump So what! Trump got the votes in the right place and won the College. Once again, changing the goal posts when the rules have been the same since Abraham Lincoln. No, I responded to your statement. Logically. Electoral College has nothing to do with 'the people' wanting Trump Electoral college ensures that the president is not decided by just New York/New Jersey and California. Same old rubbish. If that's where most of the people live, I don't see a problem with that. Congress has local representatives and therefore policies are not just decided by "New York, New Jersey and California". The senate is set up so that all states have equal representation regardless of size, again policies are not just decided by ""New York, New Jersey and California". Why should the vote from someone in Wyoming be worth more than 3x the vote of someone in Pennsylvania when the president is a single elected official representing the entire nation? I remember having the exact same argument (dunno if it was with you) about the Australian Senate.

Why should the vote from someone in Wyoming be worth more than 3x the vote of someone in Pennsylvania when the president is a single elected official representing the entire nation? Why should the will of Snowflake states (term I was exposed to in the USA, can't claim it as my own) like California and New Jersey dictate what happens in South Carolina? America is enormous and incomparable to our voting system. The attitudes of the larger areas (I only recently returned from the USA) are completely different to those of the south west. Anything related to federal politics in the USA being virtually decided by 2 geographical centres is absolutely ridiculous. I just explained that they don't dictate because South Carolina and other smaller states are over represented in the senate and have local reps that should be voting for their interests in congress. I'm talking about their system not ours though a lot of it is directly comparable to theirs as we based certain ideas about our Federalism on their system. So 2 geographic centres is bad but the current 4 or 5 "swing states" deciding elections in the current system is awesome. Over represented?
The Electoral College ensures that the presidential results are not urban-centric which is what was intended I believe. The argument for the Electoral College is that the votes better represent America as a whole rather than the vote representing what urban centres want. Even with the E.C, California is still the most powerful state when it comes to voter representation, depending on which method you use. Arguments against are obviously that it's not 'true' democracy, that this model forces intense campaigning in swing states and that the E.C represents more people in larger states compared to small ones. It's hard to have a discussion when one side doesn't know the basic facts even when I explicitly laid out why not even a page agoIt was intended as another convoluted federalist move to give power to smaller states. It just doesn't make sense when there are other checks and balances in place (again listed them already). 1 representative for the whole country being voted in by the majority of the country should be how it is.
