Leftists are in favor of tyranny.

They are not even trying to hide it any more.

All it takes is for 16 states to disagree to prevent the elimination of the Electoral College.

How do I matriculate to the Electoral College, and how much is tuition?

It’s a good thing you can’t amend the Constitution with a majority vote.

A majority wanted Hillary and want Biden.

Lies, all of them.

A “simple” majority, indeed - the same fools the pollsters used in 2016 to say Donald J didn’t have a chance...

Many people don't understand it until someone drums it into their head. And, if you are from a big state, you probably don't care.

If we vote on it, probably only the small states should vote.

My poll suggests 90% don’t understand the concept of a republic, the roles of states, and the purpose of the electoral college.

I also think if the Dems are sick of losing, they look at the rules and come up with better candidates.

Seriously, if the Dems could have come up with a moderate candidate, they would be in the White House now.

Someone really needs to sit them down and explain things to them.

They'd better be careful what they wish for.

It might come back to bite them in the butt.

Harry Reid and the Dems got rid of the filibuster for judicial appointments; they're not too happy about that now.

How true that is!!!

As a side note, I have NewsMax on in the background and I overheard whomever was talking state that the Dems have a very good chance of re-taking the senate. God help us all!

If that were remotely true (it's not), the Constitutional Amendment to eliminate it would be flying through the 50 states.

Exactly, this is the kind of crap you get when you remove journalists from journalism and replace them with Leftist activists.

let’s do a binding poll:

1. removal of the electoral college
or
2. public decimation of the “News” anchors and MSM plants.

A majority of Americans think “Medicare for All” sounds like a great idea until they understand it means crappy Medicaid for All except the elites.

In a related survey, more than half of voters don’t know how and why World War II started, who started it, and how that person came to power.

I am of the opinion that the majority of voters do not even know what the electoral college is.

Majority of voters can’t tell you which way is North or South.

I love to point out to libs who come up with these surveys that surveys taken in the 1930’s found that most Americans wanted black people and Jews sent “back to where they came from”. Good thing we don’t have a democracy or we might be on this board typing in German.
