1. The electoral college
"On March 18, at a CNN town hall in Jackson, Miss., Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts called for shutting down the Electoral College. “I believe we need a cons utional amendment that protects the right to vote for every American citizen and to make sure that vote gets counted,” she said.
Republicans responded:
“The desire to abolish the Electoral College is driven by the idea Democrats want rural America to go away politically,” Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said on Twitter. His colleague Marco Rubio of Florida posted a similar note, calling the Electoral College a “work of genius” that “requires candidates for president to earn votes from various parts of country. And it makes sure interests of less populated areas aren’t ignored at the expense of densely populated areas.”
President Trump weighed in as well: “With the Popular Vote, you go to just the large States — the Cities would end up running the Country. Smaller States & the entire Midwest would end up losing all power — & we can’t let that happen.

The Court just stacked the deck in favor of parties over voters—and laid the groundwork for yet more polarization...."

They're both fixable, tbh... add more States for #1, then for point #2, it's inevitable that if you keep on ting on your cons uency you can only play with maps for so long.
They're both fixable if someone in power wants them fixed
Another permanent one party rule fantasy thread
Becareful what you wish for today. Massive demographic change is on the horizon and the Conservative demographics are booming.
Like you and orange man would not want that...
If you think all Hispanics are going Conservative.
Where the do you live? Antarctica?
True, we should add DC, Puerto Rico, and Tamaulipas in time for the 2022 midterms.
If you don't think party realignment has been occurring where the have you been living?
Yes Trump opened his arms up and said join us at the border, and tell your relatives who are citizens hola?
Sure some hispanics are, but you think this red team is really catering to this ethnic group? Right now?
3. Toxic masculinity.
Is there a step dad in your life that's beating you down, derp?

I don't get people that want that, tbh... that's how you end up as a banana republic...
I thought you were lashing out about the white man becoming a minority a few years back... I don't think demographics changed that much since then.
Well you warned him.
Dont think he will mind, he will be in the ruling class.
when one party is so ty that it needs affirmative action to stay relevant thats an indictment on that party
Texas is about 1 year away from a Hispanic majority.
Its a done deal.
The youngsters in reproductive range rule now. Old white people dying and younger whites not having as many kids per household.
I think the trend continues.
Going even deeper, liberal whites have lower birth rates than conservative whites.
Yep across most ethnicities, the more education, the fewer kids.
so your assessment would hold.
He gets the pulse of the country from the liberal websites he frequents.
The fly enters a different window...
What sites do you read on the world...? Circle of Trustyness
