Trump is directly decended from the same King as Washington was.
Are you truly this fucking ignorant?
"Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%."
The founders warned against the tyranny of the majority, hence, the Electoral College, and a
representative democracy.
History lesson #2....you're dismissed.
You're confused dude.
I have no problem with white people .. as years on a board like this can attest to.
I hate pink motherfuckers .. otherwise known as racist whites .. and yes, HELL YES, I wish everyone of them dead.
Racists exist to give white people a bad name .. so I distinguish them by calling them pinkies.
If you don't believe in evolution, that's your problem, but quite obviously this nation is evolving. Don't believe that .. I don't give a damn about what you don't believe.
Cite one example.And you mock the diversity of a state like California.
i get that.but just like Congress is a national body made up of individual representatives, the EC is a national body made up of individual electors (representatives of the people for voting)..so no mater how how the individual reps/electors vote -it's still the will of the people unless they are "faithless " electorsWe're talking about the national election, not individual states.
Since working people (Earners) are what keeps the country going, I think ONLY those paying taxes on earnings should be allowed to vote as it is their money that keeps the country going. People on welfare-no and no to undocumented or unemployed immigrants.
soooo much ignorance packed into 1 post.
First your premise that "presidents and member of government are aristocrats" ignores we have no titled gentry
We have no House of Lords - no inherited titles.
Presidents and Congress are ordinary Americans ( in theory anyhow)- they are not above the law.
But even ignoring that: you fail again to show the EC promotes any so called aristocracy instead of direct democracy vote
A truly backward part of this country. And you mock the diversity of a state like California. Priceless

so what??Damn you are thick. They are members of the royal family. All of them.
They are not common Americans.
I can't believe you are this fucking stupid but it explains how you can be such a traitor to humanity.
so we are to be punished for living In california
did that actually happen?Or if they bow to death threats from deranged lefties lol.
What a bunch of ignorant idiots.
The EC was created by white male literate land owners, the only legal voters at the time, a time when slavery and forcible wife raping was legal and blacks were not considered whole people.
The entire point of it was to maintain aristocratic control of the government.
It is both an anachronism and an aberation as well as an insult to modern Americans.
Of course you racist dingleberry twats like it.
May the ruination be on your empty heads.
OMG. The militant left is out of control. this #notmypresident shit is corrosive
Ok. Why do we have the Constitution at all then?
Shouldn't Prop 8 and Prop 187 legally stand in California because they were voted on the majority of the people?
There are 48 other states.Arizona and Indiana both have 11 electoral votes. If one barely eeks out a victory in one, yet gets slaughtered in the other, it's all a wash. Hardly the will of the people.
Cite one example.
There are 48 other states.
What rights were taken away?Well, for starters, you ignored my reply on history lesson #1, which was quite embarrassing for you. Did you get a chance to read the rest of the Politifact entry that you posted? LOL
And 2nd, how about where 62,979,879 people take away the rights of the other 65,844,954?
Poor bravs.
