Our election process sucks, but it’s not because of faithless electors. The vast majority of times it was because the candidate died before the election.
Since 1900, there have been only 16 faithless electors who defected for individual reasons
The problem with your analogy is the third choice wasn’t don’t get shot. We had three choices.
This wasn’t the trolley car problem. Simple game theory can be applied.
I agree the Dems need to do better but Trump is objectively worse in every way. Forget his political views, he’s just a garbage human being. He’s everything that’s bad about humanity, or at least of capitalism, and it saddens me that 60% of my fellow Americans are just cool with that.
And Trump wants to deport 20 million people, yea, exactly the same.
I just don’t buy it. I’ve worked at plenty of companies and I never saw it work that way. Sure, I’ve seen “we have to interview more candidates” or “we need to write our job applications to be more inclusive”, but I never saw “we need to hire the lessor candidate because they’re x”.
In my experience when someone is whining that they lost a possible job to a “DEI hire”, they’re usually just butthurt that someone was better than them.
I’d love to hear a coherent reason backed by facts and evidence about why DEI is bad?
Whenever someone tells me they don’t like DEI and I ask why, it’s always some unhinged spiel about women and immigrants taking their jobs.
Have you seen our defense budget?
This is such a crazy assertion. I know plenty of democrats who own guns. They just generally don’t make it their personality.
It also ignores the massive arms difference between a government of today and its citizens vs when the constitution was written.
Lots of change has happened in the US as the result of protests that go violent, but none have ever succeeded using guns.
They’re not hurting the people they need to be hurting.
…yea that sucks. Like I said, our election system sucks. All I pointed out is your assertion that electors are getting new cars in order to vote against the wishes of their state isn’t really a thing.
