    This is why the founding fathers, in their infinite wisdom, found that it was better to elect representatives for people like yourself to make coherent, respectable arguments instead of this nonsense.

    Man, EC has been working out great ever since.

    Also:


    You keep saying this, and I haven't heard anything about this. Got a link?
    Wait, I thought we agreed voter fraud wasn't real? We have been told in these threads it's literally never happened, even once. The time that I voted twice, was the first and last in history.

    Yeah, no. What we keep saying, and what people like you keep purposefully misinterpreting, is that voter fraud is extremely rare and has not been shown to have any actual effect on election. Come back with an example of more than a handful of votes in a given election, and then we'll talk.

    "If you don't read/watch the media you are uninformed, if you do, you are misinformed." Our teacher in economics school kept saying this all through our carreer.

    Although Trump and those media channels are not from my country I don't disagree with some sort of accusation on the fact that most of the times the media does not "lie" but they simply release information that can easily be twisted into facts they want the audience to misunderstand in the direction that media wants.
    Also most people tend to not listen to media channels that dont confirm their ideology or thoughts, so it's extremely easy to manipulate.

    Yup, that's why I love the guy, he won't be the corporate guy and won't forgive the mainstream media for their bullshit.
    And its about time the media got their nose buried in their own shit.

    How do you know how rare it is? Since it's a crime that has no reasonable method by which to catch the criminal, how would we know?

    How can you claim to have data on something you claim never happens?

    So for example, one political platform that appeals to urbanites would snag all of those population centers and only alienate the rural voters that nobody cares about anyway. Avoid the funky math pl0x.
    No funky math, just basic percentages of the electorate. San Francisco isn't a suburb of LA. You are again trotting out the myth that no republicans/conservatives live in suburbs, let alone metro areas, to prop up your failing argument.

    The founding fathers never envisioned the emergence of political parties using, among other constitutional statutes, the EC as a pledge of fealty for them.

    But they are politically aligned, geographically close, and are both metropolises. So what appeals to one, appeals to the other, and ensures that no politician need pay attention to anyone else once their vote is secured.

    How do you know lizard people aren't replacing your family members? Fraud does get detected, so that proves your point to be wrong, and in any case it would have to happen on a very large scale to actually influence elections. The more it happens, the easier it is to detect. It doesn't get caught very often, so attempts of fraud have to be very rare and/or very limited. QED.

    Way to ignore the 400 miles in between them. You aren't understanding that cities, and even moreso their metropolitan areas, have republicans/conservatives living in them.

    Find it ironic you saying that as the dude, the dude would not give a shit about trump, or Clinton, he'd follow his own philosophy and not just believe the Bullshit a politician spouts.

    So what controversial political issue would LA diverge from SF on? I'll wait.

    Remember when Obama criticized Fox for giving support to tin foil conspiracies like invading Texas, a world currency, ect and the right exploded, where are those people now? Oh ya giving the con artist in chief a high five.
