No it won’t magically fix everything but at least the voters would have no one to blame but themselves for who they elect to office.

You’re assuming that the entire 1% were swing voters. So no. It’s not a huge margin.

Ok average nearly half the country votes, every year. Yeah - that number should be way up - but 75% of those votes wouldn’t matter. That’s the point/problem.

Adding in an edit: downvote it all you want, you know it’s true. Hell, in his last election he DID lose the popular vote. Some democracy. More voters, actual people who took the time and effort to go and actually vote, wanted a different president, and got shown their votes don’t matter unless they live in a swing state.

Anyways, this is not why Harris lost. It was a landslide and Trump won the popular vote by a huge margin. Americans don’t vote in large numbers on foreign policy - not unless Americans are getting killed. Kamala lost because she kept telling struggling families that the economy is great has a vagina.

Fixed that for you.

Also she didn’t lose the pop vote by a huge margin. 3 million people is literally 1 percent of the population.

If this were a democracy and pop vote mattered, there are probably 10x that number of people who would have actually voted. Then I’d guess she would have won. Look at (greater area) Chicago. 9.5m people. 12 million people total in IL. how many Illinoisans didn’t vote because why does it matter? About 2 million probably.

Disclaimer: That last paragraph was obviously arbitrary.

You really didn’t have to throw in the “seem to be intelligent” part but that very conscientious of you.

I’ll go ahead and fix it for you though and be the asshole.

In case you’re wondering why you’re getting down voted, it’s because you didn’t even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.

I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.

You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.

Negative. That the democratic candidate had a vagina and breasts is why ten million people sat home.

Won’t argue that.

Personally none of the things this article says surprise me. But unfortunately, the author doesn’t seem to provide any sources for Trumps statements, only the denials of those statements. Idk if people are just scared and want to remain anonymous or what but it loses integrity when people refuse to identify themselves or rather when A reporters article doesn’t have sources like this.

You’re right. Sometimes I can’t help it 😔

You’re not a cynic. You’re an idiot.

You got the two words mixed up at some point.

Hope this helps.

Well don’t be one. There’s comments on here I can’t see from people who have other comments on here that are perfectly reasonably stated, with sources, that seem to do nothing but dissent with your own opinion.

Makes me wonder why those comments were deleted. You try to censor free speech just because it doesn’t agree with your own ideas and you’re no better than Xlon Muxk

Edit:

Did anyone die? A quick Google search shows yes. That’s horrible. I’ve read several news sources on it but I’m wondering if you’ve found out the facts about that bombing? It’s more digging than I have the time for right now.

This is fair.

Social media is far too accessible now to just say: “well I wasn’t talking about people with actual disabilities” kk chad.

Chad was me, too. Not that I used it all the time or anything but in this comment or another throughout the years.

I’ll have to make sure never to do that again.

It’s the last one

What’s really fucked is how close the polls are still after everything.

I mean I guess the debate can’t hurt trump since his followers immediately discard anything he does wrong/bad as fake news or conspiracy.

But Jesus man when is enough enough

We’re never gone get 1h1v, not exactly, but this dude is literally sitting here defending a system in which a vast portion of voters - not just.voters but people in general - are unrepresented.

No he gets it, clearly, you are the one who (equally clearly) does not.

The Senate is a broken system. The system you keepdescribing is a good system in theory, but it’s not that way in reality. It’s literally like a gerrymander.wiz program for a computer - designed to make gerrymandering simple.

He even said he recognized your point about uncapping the house, but still went on to say the Senate, too, is broken - and for some reason you’re not understanding that.

This is just a list of sheriff departments

just stopping in to tag the internet winning comment of the day, oh hai

Well yeah we all know that but… that’s what they say lol. “Defend against tyranny” sounds better than the truth. Even they’re reallydontwanna smart usethisword enough to know that.
