Have liberals ever taken a Civil class?

I have found the argument against the electoral college as a sign of one not ever having a civics or history class. NOt having an understanding of what the executive branch does or the purpose of the federal government.

I'm not really either for or against, though I always though the electoral was a little weird. It started as a concession to get the slave states on board w/ revolution...the reasoning wasn't some sound sort of effort for "fairness" to places that didn't even really exist yet.

I think it has to look strange to the world that someone can get 3 million more votes & lose.

How can you win something that doesn't play a role in the process?

The losing team in a football game might have more total yards of offense, more sacks on defense, more first down, more interceptions, etc. Unless they have the highest score, those stats mean nothing.

Continuing to bring up something that doesn't play a role in the process proves you don't understand the system nor know why it was put in place over 200 years ago.

How do I not understand the system? I have never said that the electoral doesn't decide the winner.

But, Hillary did win the popular by 3 million + votes.

Those that claim it's weird are the ones that don't understand it nor know the truth behind why it was put in place.

Any idiot that keeps bringing up the 3 million vote part proves that.
 
and the republicann party jhas cheated voters out of their rights for decades.

Its part of the reason the people of color in this country hate the republican party

Because you keep bringing up something that is irrelevant. If you understood how it worked and why it was put in place, you wouldn't keep mentioning something that has no bearing on the end result.

The reason so many people of color dislike Republicans is because Republicans expect them to do for themselves while Democrats are willing to hand them something for nothing while blaming whitey for them not having it.

People talk about margins of victory all of the time - whether they're pluralities or majorities, how they affect a mandate. Are you relatively new to politics and political analysis?

And you can bet the house that Trump would have a record # of tweets on it if it was a reverse situation, and you'd be right in line behind him.

But, it's also just fun to bring up: Hillary won the popular by 3 million+ votes. 2%. That's pretty significant.

By continuing to bring it up, you prove you're an idiot.

Something that is irrelevant is not significant.

Interesting how you like to make bets on things that you could never prove. That's a cowards way out and you've proven you're one of those, too.

People can talk about things all they want. When they don't matter, it's all talk.

Strict North Carolina Voter ID Law Thwarted After Supreme Court Rejects Case
Click to expand...

The ruling
Riley said "black voter turnout in 2012 exceeded the rate of white voter turnout, even in the states with the strictest voter ID laws," despite the Democrats claiming the voter ID laws suppress the black vote.
While there is debate about the reasons why -- and if the phenomenon will last -- Riley's statistic checks out. Census data shows that indeed, for the first time ever, black voter turnout was higher nationally than white voter turnout, and at least just as high in the states with strict voter ID laws.
We rate this claim True.
