(1,629 posts)It is as I said... a sleazy way of trying to get around the antidemocratic EC. It's an approach with multiple problems... AND it does nothing to change the antidemocratic nature of the system. AND THAT'S THE ISSUE HERE...
You started this thread claiming that the reason we have the Trump Junta was a FAILURE of Dems to defend the Constitution...
The "extreme left" didn't give us Trump. The path to hell was paved by ... the Democratic leadership's refusal to do their duty and defend the Constitution they swore to uphold by fighting, win or lose, for:
1. Impeachment of Reagan for Iran-Contra.
2. Prosecution of Bush Sr. when the extent of his role in Iran contra was exposed.
3. An objection to the unlawfully appointed FL electors on Jan 6, 2001, as was their duty under the electoral count act.
4. Impeachment of Bush/Cheney for torture.
WHAT NONSENSE. The reason we have the Trump Junta... and the reason we're going to lose the ACA... IS BECAUSE THE CONSTITUTION IS ANTIDEMOCRATIC. It the presidency and the Senate were elected where every citizen's vote weighed the same HRC would be president and the Dems would control the Senate. Feel free to try some Orwellian rewrite of history to claim otherwise.
