The person with the most votes wins every single election in this country, with the exception of the most important election.

The electoral college was a sop to the slave-holding states, a way to make sure the common voter didn't really elect the president. It serves no purpose other than to invalidate most people's votes. Instead of contributing to the total vote and helping their candidate win, a Republican voting in Oregon or a Democrat voting in Wyoming have essentially wasted their votes, because their candidate has no possibility of winning in those states.

The electoral college reduces what should be a national election to a contest in which three or four battleground states determine the election.

One person, one votes, most votes wins.

Yes, change the rules, which the campaign underway to eliminate the EC hopes to do. By following the amendment procedure in the Constitution, a concept all of you Republican originalists should embrace.

Yeah, if we can't have our way, let's change the rules. Same with debasing the Supreme Court because it has a conservative majority for first time in decades. Petulance populates a good part of the Left.

No US casualties in 18 months before withdrawal.....but 13 dead at Abbey Gate on Biden's watch. A disgrace. A total disgrace that need not have happened.

That's like saying there were no terrorist deaths in the US in the 18 months before 9/11, but then 3,000 dead in NYC, NoVa and Pennsylvania on Bush's watch. A disgrace. A total disgrace that need not have happened. A total failure of Bush's intelligence services.

But I'm not playing that card. If some fanatic is going to attack, you can't stop them.

The tail between our legs withdrawal from Afghanistan encouraged our adversaries to be more aggressive. Factually, believe this beyond dispute If you have evidence to the contrary, lets hear it.

You are making this statement, the onus of proof is on you. Again, do you seriously think Russia doesn't invade Ukraine if we have 2,500 servicemen surrounded on an indefensible air base in Afghanistan?

For a guy who says he's "not defending Trump," you seem to use almost all of his talking points.

I say we go 13-0 OOC and when we finish with around 27 or 28 wins and are only on the bubble, call out all the power teams by name who would not play us when being interviewed about our dance chances.

Especially with the stupid NET....there is no incentive at all for power teams to play a team like us. A team with a NET of 76-160 would be a Q3 loss at home. Obviously, a power team would rather play a team that is more likely a 160 team, or even a cupcake Q4 team than a 75-100 NET type team.

Hey Brooklyn, 97 might have stole it, but it is super obvious none the less. My guess is someone on staff read the board, and they gave it to a staffer to do. Said staffer took the afternoon off and hanging out on the James River.
