    Ask yourself, how many of them were hired by conservatives, now rejecting their own president and congress. Who needs democracy when you've got cheap peasant labor? Possibly twenty million of them according to the latest estimates. The harder conservatives push the idea that nobody can be trusted, the less the rule of law applies to anything. The new AI coming out in the next few years will make it possible to replace countless people's jobs. Fuck em all, easily distracted from their own demise by attempting to build walls around their hearts. Divide and conquer could not be simpler, because there never was any intelligent life around here. Only social animals can be considered intelligent.

    Donald Duck is still doing business with China, because you can never trust a fucking thing that comes out of his mouth.

    I'm saying people in the construction and other industries paid their local politicians to look the other way, and boosted their local economy in the process. The US has been on a housing building boom that is only now leveling off, while construction workers have not had a raise in twenty years. Fuck republicans, who refuse to go after their own politicians and now want Donald Duck to be declared emperor of the world. We are way past issues of citizenship, when Libertarians rigged our elections and shredded the constitution twenty years ago. They are now eating each other alive, and I encourage anyone with half a brain to encourage them to eat each other faster.

    At least one time that I know of, they busted a Walmart for hiring almost nothing but illegals. Why? Because it was that fucking easy to do. Donald Duck could easily collect all the money he needs to build his wall, by cracking down on corrupt government, but not until he's declared judge, jury, and executioner. A worse pretender to the throne I cannot imagine.

    Its the US, where rigged elections are traditional, and bankers are made to sign papers swearing they won't break the law again, everytime they repeatedly break the same law and get a slap on the wrist. Corporate America is just more traditional about these things. They want to formally say they are sorry as they take you for everything you've got.
     
  10. All I know for a fact is that it's impossible to defeat Donald Trump. He is just too good. Too smart. Too noble and courageous. Democrats are panicking and just needlessly insulting him, to try and create the impression that he isn't as totally wonderful as he seems, but he is. No one will ever be able to beat him. He will live for hundreds of years, and will be president every four years, because he's just too great. He's magnificent.

    I find Donald Trump to be a bad president. I don't feel like he is qualified to lead the country. I hope we elect someone else in 2020.

    In addition, I don't understand why there aren't other republicans running. Are they trying to be silly?
     
  12. Why would Republicans want anyone but Trump? He gives them all the opportunity to act like depraved idiots. There's nothing they love more. He's their perfect leader. And once he's over, they're through.

    There have been around 1000 cases of in person voter fraud recorded in history. A lot of those were people trying to vote twice, people with criminal records voting, before 2016 etc...

    So probably between 0 and 100.

    It's cute that you're quoting Trump though.

    There are other Republicans running: Gov. Bill Weld, former congressman Joe Walsh, and U.S. Representative mark Sanford. It will be an uphill battle for them because of the over 90% support for Trump among Republicans and the cancellation of primaries by four states and counting. This has happened before. Republicans in 10 states canceled primaries in 2004, Democrats canceled primaries in eight states in 1996, and Republicans cancelled primaries or caucuses eight states in 1992..

  15. Yea, I hear the same about Stacy Abrams. And yet, she's not making policy, anywhere. Plus, the democrats abandoned her to promote Jon Ossoff, who seems to have vanished, after losing. But he'll be back in 2020 to chase a different office.

    So Hillary didn't lose eh? But, she didn't actually win either, at least not according to the actual rules of the competition (which have nothing to do with any "popular vote" claims). They gave Bernie a wonderful participation prize, but Hillary got nada. Why IS that?

  18. Yes, and it doesn't apply in presidential elections.

    That's true. But you can see the point: more people voting for the "losing" candidate.
     
  20. The number of people is one of the reasons this method was created. They knew states with higher populations would easily walk all over the votes of smaller states on issues that affect everybody. Surely in the age of "fairness" doctrine this would make absolute sense. It's amazing they came up with it so long ago and it's still unique to the nation.

    The concept of a popular vote isn't about fairness, it's about grabbing power in a manner that can't be accomplished in a fair system. It works fine for small populations, but as populations expand so too do power coalitions until you get an unyielding polarization. Sort of like what happens when you have political parties.

    Another problem we have these days is the assumption that things can be brought about quickly when they should develop organically. School busing is a perfect example. So is the blatant arrogance of "making" history just because someone feels they "deserve" a particular landmark. It's all so convoluted.
