It's not less govt control, it's corporate control - it's handing over the reins to a powerful elite. it's as regressive as saying only white slave-owning landholders can vote.
I see far too much of it in adults who should have been progressed beyond that level.
Like those still whining about the 2016 presidential race?
It really pisses you off that your boy Trump proved himself illegitimate as our president. Just live with it.

One of the biggest reasons the democrats lose presidential elections is that they are emotional marshmellows when they are defeated. You are a prime example.

Which do you support:
Today it is clear we are living in a new normal. The current Senators, under the leadership of McConnell has demonstrated that one person can have a major impact on our form of government. There is no doubt that Authoritarianism is now, with no thanks to 51 Senators, a new form of governance, i.e. Trumpism.
IMO, Trumpism is akin to fascism, and a reader with an open mind and who has watched the behavior of Trump and McConnell will see much similarity to these 14 points:

Did you think this up all by yourself? Must have given you quite a headache. It gave me a belly laugh ache for sure! The new normal? Under Obama, Harry Reid single handedly changed the Senate rules with the Nuclear Option. Did you forget that? So, it was Obama who is the fascist. Actually, he's more of a communist, like his dad was. The government is running as it has always run. Majority rules. Fortunately, we have three branches of Government. The Democrats haven't learned that yet as they flip off the Judicial and the Executive all the time. They try to lead from the minority. :lamo
only if you ignore it.
but i count on leftist ignoring facts. it is the only argument they have.
it makes perfect sense. you not understanding it is not my issue.
They also want to dominate their fellow man, which a lot of people are not cool with.
And I like you too.

It's not about like or dislike. My point is that when democrats lose a presidential election, they are emotionally incapable of accepting defeat when it comes and moving on. When they should be thinking ahead to the next election, they are still obsessed with the previous one. They behaved similarly in the aftermath of the 2000 election.
1) I accepted that Trump won in the Electoral College after Clinton won the vote of the people.
2) People have been trying to get rid of the EC for a very very long time - myself since I first found about in the sixth grade in 1961.
Why are you so fearful of people discussing this matter?

There's nothing to fear. There is literally zero chance of an amendment eliminating the electoral college.
Considering that the electoral college is the law of the land and has been since our founding, you must accept that Trump won the election, period. There is no popular vote election to win for the white house. It's worth nothing more then bragging points.
Does you wall calendar begin with the two numbers 1 and 7?
Though he will not admit it, he understands that. He only uses it as a crutch to avoid accepting that Hillary Von Pantsuit lost the 2016 election.
“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”
I have been against the Electoral College for well over 55 years. I recall the wise words of Thomas Jefferson who said
They fit the EC perfectly. The USA of the 1700's no longer exists. We are no longer a Eastern seaboard nation of 4 million farmers - many functionally illiterate and poorly educated. We indeed have become more developed, more enlightened and manners and opinions about small numbers of empowered elites have changed radically.
The EC is part of that power structure and must be replaced. As it gives todays GOP a distinct advantage, it will not be changed until the Republican Party is bit in the ass by it the way Democrats have been ... most recently in 2000 and again in the last presidential election in 2016.
Only then will todays Republicans advocate for its abolishment.
