To all Ameribros here.. You guys have to reform your electoral system.
The current trend will assure Democrat Presidents forever.. California, NY, PA, Florida.. they sum up to 127 and they've all been Dem since the unofficial open borders policy enacted by the Dems started and all your voting scams... It just takes a few more states on the East to get the Presidency, while Reps have to win a shit ton of swing states to even have a slight chance of winning, and this means more expenditure in ads and more campaign and infinite costs..
Are State weights really fair? Why isn't Cali broken up in more States? I think all your shit is rigged from the beginning and voting machine scams are not even necessary to ensure a Dem victory.. They worked very hard in the Clinton and Obama years to ensure the election is always rigged against Reps thanks to orchestrated demographic shifts (mexicans in CA) and media-backed brainswashing (All Northern colonies).. Trump has really a shit probability to win and he's the most powerful Rep on the table.. Imagine Kasich, or Cruz, or Rubio.. By now they would've just admitted defeat against the Dem propaganda machine and demographic manipulators..
Americans, I think it's time for a Revolution 2.0..
Julian Walker
A week ago I saw this posted here. I think it's legit. You can actually do it, for the People and by the People..
Mason Sullivan
>Lol Russian poster I'll bite.
Trump is winning this election by a landslide and I'm in California. Mexican demographics have grown, but the advances the Dems have are countered by their losses in Black Dem participation.
Trump is the candidate the people have submitted against the establishment. If he loses, and the only way it will happen is if they steal it from him, then we will consider partying like 1776. We have a few days to think about it.
Remember remember, the 5th of November.
Carson Nelson
It's arguably more fair than direct election because it gives more weight to voters outside of a handful of our biggest cities.
I don't know that states should be winner-take-all, but basically if we are to change the current system then a better system needs to be proposed and argued. Simply complaining about the current one won't do anything more than agitate.
Hudson Rivera
I assume you're white, and it's obvious the sligtht majority of white Californians will vote Trump, but Mexicans are 30% of the Cali electorate.. they are ALL dem with a few exceptions and they will grow in the years to come.. Cali will forever be Dem because of Spics and white Liberals.. and niggers. They want the gibsmedats and they love the Clintons.
Gavin Davis
Direct election would be absolutely fantastic.. or even an equal weight between States.. The fact that California is more important than Wyoming is uncostitutional and against any kind of logic.. Wtf does that mean.. all States should matter the same and their deviation should AT MAX to be of 10 or 15.. not 50
Luis Powell
The current system actually favors republicans. California gets 1 electoral vote for every 700k people. Meanwhile states like Wyoming have 1 electoral vote for every 194k people.
Cooper Martin
This also means that to win the elections you just have to import a shit ton of spics and win the State, or even bus them like they already did.. Really your shit is worse than an African country..
Levi Gray
This logic is flawed. Idgaf about proportions, Cali is 55 and Wy is 3 but they're both States with equal weight before the law.. I just can't comprehend it.
David Bennett
Well there are like 7 or 8 people in Wyoming vs. California which is big enough to be the world's 8th largest economy when considered as its own country. Those 7 or 8 people in Wyoming are getting a much bigger say than they would otherwise under the current system.
It's similar to how we allocate representatives in congress -- each state gets a certain number of representatives based on the population of that state as measured by the census.
Yeah well that part needs to be fixed for sure. My two favorite ideas in circulation this year are requiring ID and doing that thing where you dip your thumb in ink in order to vote. Maybe in the future some sort of encryption-based solution would be possible.
Brody Parker
Also the winner of the electoral college usually also wins the popular vote. The last time the winner lost the popular vote was in 2000, when Bush (a Republican) won the election despite losing the popular vote.
Before this you have go back 1888 when Benjamin Harrison won despite losing the popular vote.
Benjamin Reyes
This.
Each state should have 1 electoral delegate.
You need 26 to win.
Just because Cali bus in Spics by the millions doesn't make them more important to the Union than Ohio or Georgia.
Jeremiah Sanders
>Cali is 55 and Wy is 3 but they're both States with equal weight before the law.. >Just because Cali bus in Spics by the millions doesn't make them more important to the Union than Ohio or Georgia.
They don't have equal weight and they shouldn't. California IS more important to the union. California's GDP is 2.5 trillion. 15% of the US economy. Wyoming's GDP is 31 billion. 0.2% of the US economy. California contributes 75 times as much to the US economy but only gets 18 times the electoral votes.
Asher Reed
>requiring ID and doing that thing where you dip your thumb in ink in order to vote.
You know you fucked up when you have to imitate India to ensure a fair election. Also, what about this ID thing? Isn't it mandatory?
Grayson Moore
You are delusional. I am Californian and Trump is not 'winning by a landslide'. Get out of your echo chamber and wake up. >as if (((they))) would allow Trump to win anyways
James Sanchez
they should at least make electoral college votes com from districts instead of states
It's completely retarded that entire states vote red yet their votes go 100% to democrats.
More people might consider voting red if they thought their voice would even make a difference.
The current system makes some states in basically one-party states
Christopher Flores
>To all Ameribros here.. You guys have to reform your electoral system.
No shit Trump is the only way that is going to happen.
Eli Ortiz
Well the government is set up to operate like that in other ways. For instance, each state gets two senators no matter what, and senators hold some powers that representatives do not. If you want to ratify a treaty or an amendment or pick a VP, then that's up to the senate.
Really the problem is that the federal government has way too much power. He's not supposed to matter as much as he does now. The federal government is mainly supposed to be a way for the state governments to coordinate effectively, not be an overreaching dictatorship.
No, ID is not needed in order to vote. Only to get your name on the voter rolls. If I know my buddy Jim down the street is registered, I can go to the polling place, say I'm Jim, and vote in his place as long as he didn't get there before me. It's a system based on more honesty than we have as a society these days.
Jayden Parker
The system is fine, it's the Republicans that need to change.
>Why isn't Cali broken up in more States
Because it doesn't want to be. Such decisions are left at the hands of the States, not the Federal government.
This is gonna be a bit hard for a Russian to grasp, but in America, the Federal government actually has some pretty strict limits on what it can or cannot do, an the States are seen as mostly equal partners in perpetual union with the Federal government.
Besides, if you're gonna break up California, then other large states like Texas should also be dissolved into smaller states, while probably tiny states like North and South Dakota should be combined into a single state.
Hang on, I have a map...
Parker Flores
Economic importance is not taken into account in democracy. You are basically saying: >the richer the better Because as you know GDP measures income, also. Your logic is really bad.
Aiden Lewis
america is not a democracy, fuck california if they have more people
1 state 1 vote
Mason Kelly
>Salt Lake this would be cool. I hate the name Idaho, I would rather anything else besides Idaho.
Isaiah Russell
Well, if they're equals before the law, they should matter the same when electing the President.
Ryan Martinez
No, it's a republic. And the electoral college system is fundamentally like a republic -- groups of people based on population elect a representative to represent them in the electoral college.
But I agree with you that winner take all is pretty questionable.
Jack Johnson
>It's a system based on more honesty I don't know what to say.
Justin Hill
I don't think a Russian has any business telling other countries about electoral reform. But besides that, getting rid of the electoral college would only benefit the democrats. See
Logan Green
Then Cali, and the rest of the states should stop being winner takes all.
Split works fine in maine and neb.
Colton Thompson
that's what I said, since it's not a democracy there's no reason why the population-size of states must matter
Benjamin Green
...
Camden Kelly
No shit Sherlock. If Hillary wins all the immagrants she brings in will vote Democrat and then we are Germany
Parker Rivera
Well I suppose one alternative would be to have individuals elect electors by population as is done now, and then state governments can each appoint one or two state-level electors as we (used) to do with senators.
And then those two bodies can have equal power in agreeing on who gets to be the president, just like how congress works. Or maybe even do it like the president is elected by popular vote and the vice president is elected by state vote.
Carson Thomas
A fucking dot
Josiah Bailey
We only have to remove "winner take all" states like Illinois.
Everywhere in Illinois that isn't SHITcago will go red, those electoral votes would really help.
Carter Lewis
This. Trump knows the system is flawed and he knows he'd easily win in a fair system.
DRAIN THE SWAMP
Dominic Barnes
Our entire governmental structure is based on people individually and voluntarily participating, being informed, and acting with integrity. Innocent until proven guilty and all the rest.
You'll notice it was invented almost entirely by rather intelligent and well-educated white European Christians. They didn't design it to account for a population that would be dumbed down by (((some people))) and dominated by lazy nigger culture.
Dominic Turner
Germany is way better off than you. Whites are less than 50% and highly divided, unlike minorities which are all strongly Dem. This means that just another Dem cycle will assure, in the bleakest scenario, a Mexican/Multiracial USA, and the white genocide.
Isaac Perry
Why should California, a state with 38.8 million people in it, be counted equally with Wyoming, a state with barely more than 580,000 people in it?
Jaxon Cruz
Id rather over here than over there with them sandniggers
Bentley Wood
Hate to break it to you, but the President has absolutely no power whatsoever to do this.
Thomas Howard
hes gonna get rid of all them democrat voting spics
Robert Ward
We need to take the power away from the states in general. The vote should be based on the majority of votes for the entire country, fuck this winner take all bullshit. Thanks to that California liberals have a stranglehold over half the state.
Jackson Parker
Because States are equal before the law, no? Why is demographics taken into account? You either a) get a direct election, or b) get a state-based election where all States matter the same Your system is cloudy and flawed and it is an incentive to importing minorities. Just get the option a and get those ID laws ffs.
Christian Wilson
He's got a bully pulpit and significant cultural and political influence, though. Those are necessary preconditions for creating the circumstances necessary to effect some kind of change, if any.
When's the last time you came to Sup Forums and started brainstorming on how to improve our electoral system?
Jonathan Bell
>Because States are equal before the law, no?
No. Each state gets two Senators. But the number of representatives in the House from each state is based on Population. From Article I, Section 2 of the US Constitution:
>Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
Cooper Murphy
You can't vote unless you're registered to vote; you can't register to vote unless you can prove citizenship. Illegal immigrants don't vote, and the President absolutely lacks the power to boot out legal citizens of the US.
Trump can do nothing to change demographics.
Carter Hughes
Yeah, but a bunch of cities in solid red states would go blue and give electoral votes the other way. For example Atlanta would give a lot of Georgia's EV's to the democrats.
Do you guys even think about this shit for second? The system is flawed, but it is not fundamentally unfair for either side.
Cameron Rogers
>get a direct election
A direct election is a bad idea, since it allows demagogues like Napoleon or Hitler to come to power based on popular appeal, whether or not they'd actually be good for the country.
The intent of the Electors is to ensure that mob mentality can't triumph. A person can be smart, but people are panicky and stupid. The check on the Electors is the fact that every single one of them can be voted out of office within 2-6 years, ensuring that if the Electors consistently screw over the People, they don't get to stay Electors.
>get a state-based election where all States matter the same
But all states don't matter the same. All states are guaranteed equal protections under Federal law, but that doesn't change that the needs of California are more important than the needs of Wyoming. Thus, the House of Representatives and the Electoral College.
However, it is also recognized that the people of Wyoming shouldn't be screwed over by Californians. Thus, the Senate.
Every system is flawed; our system is the least flawed since it's the only one that takes those flaws into account and tries to forge something fair out of them, actively trying to screw the least number of people.
Caleb White
bullshit illegals vote all the time even fucking dead people vote lol
Mason King
Popular representatives =/= equality before the law. You presidential election system practically says 'you matter nothing' to the state of Wyoming because that 3 is insignificant. In fact Wyoming has not a say in the presidential election. Having 3 is like having 0, Wyoming matters nothing.
Carson Gray
The only way to fix a broken system like America's is to make it so every county in every state gets one secured delegate each, and whole states can't be won. An example is New Hampshire. There are 10 total counties in that state. If trump wins 6 and clinton wins 4, that is 6 to donald and 4 to the cuntbag. Easy solution for a fair election.
Jaxson Brown
If Wyoming had voted for Gore in 2000 he would have won. Of course those 3 electoral votes matter. But instead they voted for Bush, giving him 271. So Wyoming decided the 2000 election (as did every other state).
Joseph Reyes

Isaac Gonzalez

David Nguyen
Voter fraud accounts for significantly less than 1% of all votes in the United States, according to literally every single metric and attempt at measuring it from both parties. It is statistically irrelevant.
Nothing but Republicans are stopping Republicans from having a bigger slice of the minority pie.
Democrats don't need brainwashing. When Republicans endorse and flock in droves to a candidate who continuously demonstrates lack of respect and outright hostility towards black and Latino concerns, why would blacks and Latinos ever vote Republican?
Republicans do more to damage their own reputation among minorities than Democrats could ever try to spin or fake, and they do it for free.
Jackson Moore
Trump could have won if he was just a populist nationalist in the sense of doing all of the things he wanted except building the wall. That was the problem, a huge part of the country are already minorities, and he shit on them like they weren't here already. Now Hispanics are turning out in swing states in big numbers and he is probably going to lose, what a surprise.
I know that is something Sup Forums cares about, but literally talking about a wall was retarded. He should have just said he was going to tighten immigration like a lot of other countries and bring in better people until the economy improves. It's an ok sound bite, it doesn't really matter what the reality is. People just hear "economy is bad, I agree with that, and we should only let in experienced professionals and high value people until the economy improves, and so we should restrict immigration for a while. That sounds reasonable enough". You make it into an economic issue instead of a race issue.
As far as refugees he could have just said "we will take in a couple thousand, the ones that really need it, but the vetting process is hard so we can't risk our national security on too many". People will accept that more than "ban all Muslims! If you're Muslim you aren't coming in!"
He was just retarded. America is never going to be racially homogenous or an ethnic state unless it Balkanizes into ethnic states or a crazy dictator literally starts murdering and expelling minorities. Pandering to WNs and racial fears is a losing strategy.
Colton Cooper
>willn't holy
Jose Moore
>Democrats don't need brainwashing Modern Liberalism IS idealistic brainwashing. Being a Dem is a result of media pressure and social pressure. This is why the more independent a person is, the more they lean socially right, while the more pressured by the media and the environment a person is, the more they lean socially left.
Adrian Gray
>outright hostility towards black and Latino concerns, For example?
Nathan Wood
Sorry, a little drunk.
Jaxon Wood
We need to get a ballot initiative in CA to split the electoral vote by congressional district. Spend a shitload of money on Spanish ads and say this will help better represent "individual communities and diverse groups"
Gavin Cox
Not only that but a Clinton presidency with more illegals and refugees brought in will only give the dems more votes in 2020
