I think this is where we are disagreeing. You're referring the "State" as the political body. I'm referring to it simply as the collection of its boundaries citizens. So maybe our argument has been rooted in semantics all along. If you want to repeal the 17th Amendment and go back to senators...

Most of them look pretty fucking normal to me. I guess you're referring to the black lady with the black feminist sweater, but what's abnormal about the bald guy behind her, or the black guy behind him, or the old lady after that? Looks nothing out of the ordinary.

They're still the senator from the state of whatever. That's who they represent. I will admit, you did get me to think about one thing. Maybe presidential nominees are too much for the people to handle. There's no way in hell Trump would have been elected in the pre-primary days when everyday...

It's like you're trying to give me a history lesson to see the light when I already know the history. Indirect or direct, it still represents the people in the state. Who are these state legislatures elected by? The fertile land? By allowing the people to vote on senators we went to a more...

I've shown zero ignorance. I already knew what the 17th Amendment did. You're the one showing ignorance by trying to argue that the senators don't represent the states, because they're directly elected by the state's constituents. Your conclusion is completely illogical bullshit.

It's the dumb money, because the big money is on Biden. Otherwise he wouldn't be favored.

I honestly think that Trump likes to propose/leak ideas such as this simply to get the media talking so he can attack them.

It's been reported over multiple outlets, but Axios broke the story. Apparently he denied it today so we'll find out tomorrow I guess.

Still better than the buffoon declaring victory tomorrow night whether or not it's been declared.

Let me get this straight, I'm ignorant for saying that the states are represented in the Senate, because senators are directly elected by their state constituents and the not state governments anymore? You're really making that argument? Is this a fucking joke? You get 2 senators per state...

Not much. A massive stimulus is coming if he wins.

I think the House should be divided by a total of eligible voters. DC deserves a representative as well. I don’t think it should be decided by the Census. I also believe that anybody who’s over 18 and an American citizen should be eligible to vote. It should be an absolute right that can’t be...

States aren’t people and don’t need voting rights for the presidency. They’re already reflected in the Senate. In my opinion the presidency can’t and shouldn’t try to reflect the desire of individual state interests. Whether you want to admit it or not the system for deciding the presidency is...

I'm wondering who the arbitrator is lol. I've seen them give stats off by 10-100x. I kind of enjoy their absurd meltdowns though: That was one of the more ridiculous ones. I remember on Super Tuesday they said it was 50-50. It wasn't to anybody who understands politics/statistics at a deeper...

Who is this arbitrator saying they're mostly factual? You could probably fact check and find either misleading or blatantly false statements in almost all of their videos.

I don't recommend using TYT in your arguments. It's simply not a legitimate source of information. They were complete hacks for Bernie and they don't fact check anything they put out there. I've seen enough of their content to know that they constantly make shit up and use numbers that are...

There you go projecting again. You're a hack who has zero interest in the truth. I prefer to live in fact-based reality.

Hillary was never over 50% in any of those polls. There's a good chance one polling company goes out of business on Wednesday and that's Trafalgar.

Tired argument? It's a historical fact that's not argued between anybody who paid attention in middle school. The electoral college very much had to do with appeasing slaveholders. It allowed the states to count their slaves without giving the slaves the right to vote. The more slaves they had...

There is no good defense of the electoral college. It was created to appease slaveholders. Every vote should count the same. A conservative farmer in Iowa doesn't deserve to have his vote be more important than a liberal professor in California.
