    Maine Senate moves to award electoral votes to popular vote winner

    Let's just be honest here. There are more Democrats than Republicans in the U.S. and it has been this way for quite a while. The only reason Republicans oppose the popular vote is because they would always lose if it were so. The idea that being more spread out in rural areas entitles you to...

    Yes. It should be one person 1 vote, popular election. How many states you win should be irrelevant.

    It simply bypasses the constitution, sorry if what is possible under the law offends you.

    No. It would ensure everyone has 1 vote rather than the 1.05 Republicans think they are entitled to. That Republicans cannot win elections is not my problem, fix your platform.

    San Francisco just banned facial-recognition technology

    Many of them believe in authoritarianism just as long as their ideology is what is being forced onto others. Once a Democrat gets in office they whip out their don't tread on me motto and become these most libertarian freedom loving patriots imaginable. Remember how Obama was a "dictator"? Now...

    What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?

    I put income inequality because I believe it is both a cause and symptom of all the other problems.

    So? What, people in California, the coasts and the black belt don't count as much as people in more rural areas? The president is for everyone, so everyone should have an equal say.

    Maine Senate moves to award electoral votes to popular vote winner

    So the NDP ignores much of the country under an EC system because their votes are a given one way or another? The popular vote would suddenly make these people just as valuable as those in swing states and swing counties. The NDP would have to pay attention to everyone, just as the GOP would...
