Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

A sense of loss!? That is pure CYA bullshit. Even if he wins, she can still say she was right.
He’ll lose the popular vote again, even if he wins the EC.
The dems should have gotten rid of the EC when Gore “lost”. Instead, they got a repeat scenario with Hillary. Will Biden make it a threepeat?
What would it take to get rid of it? IIRC we'd need a Constitutional amendment, right? I mean there's also the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It wouldn't technically get rid of the EC, but same difference afaik. (I just worry about that one bc even if enough states agree, it seems like it could be relatively easily killed by a court decision or new legislation.)
Dunno. But they didn’t even try. Even when they held the majority in both houses of Congress and the presidency.
Uh huh.
Well, for one thing, you should probably know what it takes to change the Constitution before crying about how Democrats didn't convince half of the sitting Republicans to sign a bill that would prevent a Republican from being President for the foreseeable future.
And then get it ratified by 2/3 of the states. The last time that was tried was with the ERA in the 70s and they couldn't even agree that people should be treated equally.
