Here, I'll grease the wheels for ol' boy, I live in San Bernadino County, in the city of Fontana.
Saying: "It's not the 1800's" is not a viable answer. It's just a general statement...
A lot of us have taken our time to reference the facts in support of our argument. Mine drawn from personal experience and others in plain black and white print. Your broad statements and comments are so vague they aren't making sense to anyone. So let me re-phrase:
Care to explain your views in a little more detail than just vague one liners? You joined our forum, did you not? Are we too far beneath you for you to explain it to us?

You got it ass backwards.
House of reps is supposed to represent the will of the people from the district they are elected in. There is argument whether it is direct representation, ie a poll of the people determines how the messenger will vote, or do the people elect an individual of beliefs and morals they expect will match their beliefs/morals?
The senate is supposed to be akin to the house of lords - chosen by the states governor. The saucer to cool the hot tea of the peoples representative in the lower house of congress. We screwed the process by allowing direct vote of senators. We would have less grid lock in congress right now if governors were appointing senators. Of course you wouldnt like that as currently that would likely mean a 2/3rds conservative majority.
Minority never out ruling the majority?
What do you think would have happened had we had a national vote on slavery in 1860?
Our Republic is exactly set up to protect the minority from the majority.
The majority would just use its majority to abuse the minority otherwise.
You sir are a dumb fuck.
I don't know. One of you did say us city slickers are worth maybe 40% of a person.
Which views are you confused about? Why our current system has lead to a two party system that the founding fathers specifically said is NOT what they wanted? The founders put nothing in the Constitution about winner takes all for the states. So if VA votes 51% Democrat, it was not the intention of the founders to give 100% of VA electoral votes to the Democrat. That would be tossing 49% of that state's votes in the trash. If all of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg votes blue, do you think it's fair that people in the middle of the state don't get counted in PA's electoral votes?
Gee where was the support for the majority when it was in state after state the will of the people via election to not recognize same sex marriage?
This kid chokes on hypocrisy.
Lets have a national election on tax payer funded abortion.
Dummy.
proportioning of electoral votes is up to each state they determine if its a fraction, all, they could even do whatever they want to do and go for someone outside the ballot. Maine and one other state do split electors proportionally. Petition your individual state to change.
Lets see, answer me this, you are a majority man.
How do you feel about states that despite the will of a majority of their people they are pledging to have their electors vote for whomever gets the national popular vote?
So you have a majority of states citizens that want to support candidate A but their secretary of state is telling them their voice does not matter the electors will go to candidate B.
How is that right?

The Surpeme Court ruled on same sex marriage in 2015. Support for gay marriage/civil unions/whatever among Americans was pretty lopsided at that point according to every national poll.
And we don't fund elective abortions via taxes as is. Are you suggesting we change that?
No, Newark is a "city". Not Jersey City, not Trenton, not Camden. I live in suburbs.
Yeah, Proposition 8 in 2008.....when WE THE PEOPLE in California voted to affirm that marriage was between a man and woman, the democracy by the leftists had their bluff called and they ran kicking and screaming to the courts to overturn the "will of the people" majority vote.
How's that for "democracy" @Greenday4537 ??
I know Newark is a city, turbo. I've been there. You really think people are that dumb?
Dummy. (Is this a new greeting now? Can't start a reply without insults? Sad.)
I think it's silly. If a states popular vote is 100% candidate A, then it's electoral votes should go candidate A. The votes need to represent the people.
I AM so glad, someone FINALLY posted this! After reading all of this, these would of been my EXACT words. Thank You! Just can't fix STUPID! Mac
In America, you live in a city, dipshit. Either its incorporated, unincorporated, or a census designated area which amounts to the city portion you put on your driver's license.
I live in a city which is in the general suburbs of either San Bernadino or Los Angeles depending on how one looks at it.
They could move to canada or England or Italy or some other place that is moving to their socialists principles I’d be fine with that to.I AM so glad, someone FINALLY posted this! After reading all of this, these would of been my EXACT words. Thank You! Just can't fix STUPID! Mac
Never mind the only reasons those countries can afford it is we defend them. Even then the .gov services are still fubar
City has more than one meaning, dipshit.
Clearly when I said I don't live in a city, I meant I live in a smaller town, not some super densely populated city where there's no grass in sight.
My state recognized same sex marriage well before 2015 despite a statewide election deciding against it. The supreme court decision was a politically motivated fait accompli.
Interesting Roberts dismissed the results of those earlier elections while taking a pass on ocare to be settled by election.
Sure Planned Parenthood - they are only doing breast exams.
Fine lets have a national election on defunding the private enterprise Planned Parenthood.
Hey @Greenday4537, I'm an immigrant an even I think you are ignorant, misinformed, and stupid.
You should take some time to learn how the US government is setup, why it was setup the way it was (including the electoral college), and why your views are fucking stupid and would ruin the country I love and have immigrated to.

You sound like all those idiots who say the constitution needs to be “modernized”.. if you don’t want to honor the constitution of this land then get the fuck out of this land. And Take your illegals with you.
What do you expect is gonna happen when you try and cross the constitution? As many here, I’ve taken a oath. Armed uprising is our right and obligation. Not a threat.. a promise. I guess you chose to ignore all the threats Democrats and people like you make against constitutional law abiding citizens. A politician threatening to nuke Americans if they refuse to give up guns come to mind..
Well, if it wasn't meant to change, then why did they make it specifically the way it is to ensure it COULD be changed? They knew America would change and they wanted to make sure the Constitution could change with it.
Armed uprising if the government becomes tyrannical, sure. Not just because you don't get your way.
The Constitution can be changed, but the system was designed to make those changes extremely difficult.
Per, archive.gov:
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
When those changes deny liberty, then you have real potential for revolt. Hence Jefferson's quote, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."

Nothing I said even remotely implies that 2a and constitution supporters are gonna start a “armed uprising” if we don’t get our way. That would be one of your fellow democrats.. You can give up your rights if you want.. but you can’t give up mine. Been a while since I had to look at a person through a acog but I assure you it’s like riding a bike. How many city dwellers do you think it will take for every rural veteran that can still see to be eliminated? I know what skills I’ve taught others.. has anyone that’s been through combat taught you anything?
How long do you think the cities will last without food, gas, water, power or cell phones?. How long do you think prepared rural Americans will morn all the idiot city dwellers while we are sitting around drinking our homemade hooch and eating all the things we've grown.
Do you even know what real fresh food tastes like? Could you even butcher a squirrel? Are you packing yet? Seriously.. leave America for Americans and get the fuck out of here.
Leftists hate the current system because they cannot steamroll the entire population with their ideas.
We have a representative govt for a reason. City fucks dont know what best for country folk or the best way to run those communities. And country fucks dont know whats best for the big city folk and how to best run those communities.
Thats why the representation is proportional to the population. City folk get representation and country folk get representation. These representatives then must compromise and find solutions that are good for both. Give and take, etc.
However, the left is no longer satisfied because the rate of change they desire is not happening as fast as they want. In fact, I would say that the hardcore leftsist support was never there in majority to begin with. They just cry the loudest and are used as pawns to push us all overall further to the left under the disguise of compromise.
When all else fails, the left turns to the judicial system loaded with woke-ass activist judges who issue injunctions or "legislate from the bench".
Its a complete fucking mess. And IMO is way beyond reconciliation and perhaps beyond repair.

This is the stupidest excuse in the book to try and protect, harbor and encourage voter fraud. That is pure leftist propaganda. Go play in traffic you tankie.
Do you have a ché Guevara shirt and wear white socks with Birkenstock’s by chance?
There's no issue producing an ID when the same folks go to the liquor store.
Hey @Greenday4537 ,
What’s the name of that rifle league you’re leading? Easy to win 100yd bench with your set-up, you say. On what range do you guys shoot? Let’s see some pics of that set-up.

Hark back to 2009 when the H1N1 hit the US, affecting 60 MILLION, killing 12 thousand +. All we heard from the media is what a fantastic job Bama did in 'handling it'. Pure hypocrisy once again. A typical question to Obama would be: Please Mister Mesiah, sir, how does it feel to wake up each day knowing you're saving the world?

Dear God no.
There's my rifle. TC LRR in 6.5CM. I've got a Hawke Vantage 6-24x50 on it (Got it on sale for $150. Sweet rifle. Overkill for 100 yards max.
Posted the last target. 10 ring is about 3 inches in diameter from my estimate. As I said, the 6.5CM is overkill. Even my RAR 5.56 is overkill (Great beginner rifle for learning to precision shoot at shorter ranges. Great price, amazing accuracy.) Also attached my practice target that I use. If I don't challenge myself to shoot small targets, I'm not going to hit small targets when I need to.
Yes, it is. I think the scary thing is that of the 50 million (CDC number) who got H1N1, 0.02% died from it whereas for COVID-19, while there are only 68,594 cases reported in America and 1,036 deaths which is 1.51% of those who get it. That's a huge difference in death rates for those who get sick.

Still, the main difference is that we now have democrats and msm causing a panic situation, leading to this government overreach, all in the interest of their left-wing political power. Another in the 3-year string of political dirty tricks trying to destroy a President.

Skewed stats.
At this point only the sickest are being counted.
Oft stated in these Covid death reports is the qualifier "Had pre-existing conditions".
When the tests for antigens start and as the media starts to report numbers that have recovered "the scary" numbers will go down.
Lucky to get work today.
Supervisor wants to shut project down because 4 workers road to work in one truck (remember when sharing the ride mattered to liberals as a means to save Mother Gaia?).
You know whats scary to those 4 workers?
The thought of their 4 families living in a card board box under a highway overpass if they cant pay their bills.

How about you don't make up stuff about Che shirts and tattoos and I don't start talking about your white power/Hitler tattoos that you hypothetically have?
It certainly does, when the 10 people in the one square mile produce, say, all the food that feeds the 100 people in the other square mile. You can't produce food in highly populated areas. It requires low-density and open land. But those people have very different needs and requirements than the 100, and if they aren't addressed the food isn't produced and the 100 die along with the 10. I know you have to be grinning because nobody can be this stupid.
I don't know why not? You are displaying 3/5 of an Intellect.
Except the 100 are then funding upgrades in infrastructure, equipment, etc. that the 10 use to be more efficient.
You are projecting your bias.
Where I have not espoused any Nazi bullshit you certainly have expressed your communist beliefs.
To be expected though, rules for radicals "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it"
I wont take your bait.
