      I am. Everyone knows how the game is played. Everyone is aware of the rules. Everyone is given the same paint-by-number book.

      It's designed so that New York County, Kings County, Bronx County, Richmond County, Queens County, Westchester County in New York, Los Angeles County in California, and Cook County in Illinois don't drive the entire nation.

        Theoretically they still could under the system we have in place, at least if they were awarded a proportionate amount of electoral votes.

        We need a more democratic system, I think everyone left of Trump should be on board with that. I find it funny that republicans make all these cynical moves to consolidate power, even going as far as to accept foreign influence, and liberals keep going, "we should just play by the rules guys!".

          That doesn't make much sense. The system was designed at a time when the population was much less concentrated in cities than it is now.

            Back when the system was written, the various States were worried about the power concentrated in Virginia because it was massive in both size and population. Same general concept applies today, but has morphed more into an urban vs. rural issue.

              True, for today's era. And I'm also aware that the three-fifths compromise set the state representation in the US congress; and since the electoral votes are based on the states representation, this negated the large population centers (of New York and Philadelphia).

                  Well, you technically don't require more than 51 votes in the Senate now. If it's been changed for The Supreme Court, it can be changed for anything.

                  So, you need The House, the Senate, and the Presidency. First shot at that is 2020. We'll see. Course, anything they do can be undone if the Trolls get back in power.

                    Hey, we've given 2 toddlers back already! But there are 3 that we don't know anything about, other than they seem to exist based on their physical presence.

                    Justice Department attorney Sarah Fabien said that while only two children out of the 102 the government has identified have been reunited so far, she believes another 54 can be returned to their parents by Tuesday’s deadline. As for the rest, she claimed, three were brought to the U.S. by someone who is not their biological parent, three have parents with serious criminal records that bar reunification, five have parents with something on their record that requires further investigation, 12 have parents either in local or federal criminal detention who must serve time before being transferred to ICE, 18 have parents who were lost by the administration after their deportation or release into the U.S., and four have been approved for release to a non-parent sponsor.

                    As for the last of the 102, Fabian said, “We’re still trying to track down what information we have about that parent. To my knowledge we do not have any information.”

                        The Electoral College is fine...it isnt why the Dems arent in control. They didnt vote in 3 states and that is why they lost.

                        This meme that the Left clings to that they have "the majority" is rather weak. They wouldnt be talking about this if the roles were reversed and they only won the popular vote because of California and NY.

                        If you want to talk about proportional EC votes instead of winner take all I can hear that argument, but scrapping it is an awful idea.

                          We do agree on some things.

                                I like that idea too, but as a native Daken, it was always exciting to see which candidate would get the whole boatload.
