You know what? You’ve sold me. Any country with “republic” somewhere in its name is one. Concepts like an independent judiciary, protection of...
That’s true. And it’s also why Russia can’t dare to use nuclear weapons, and why only idiots quake in fear (or act like it) every time that dum...
Call it whatever you want or as old as you want. I call it a federal republic with many democratic institutions. If you call it a “democracy” in...
I don’t dispute that the Electoral College causes certain swing states (which vary from election to election) to get disproportionate attention...
I’ll contrast California with Wyoming to make the point. California has a population of roughly 40M and 54 electoral votes. Wyoming has a...
I’ll address both your analysis of history, which I believe is flawed, as well as your larger point, which I believe is more or less that times...

I don’t think this is one of those things you can decide state by state. They all have to do it, or it doesn’t work. Imagine the hue and cry if...
Now this is an idea that’s more doable under existing law and makes the process more fair. Winner of the state’s popular vote gets the two Senate...
umm … clearly the OP in context. See, there’s this “reply” button at the bottom right of every post. When you hit it, your message directly...
So quit whining and propose an amendment. I seem to recall it wasn’t that long ago it was the Democrats who refused to get rid of the electoral...
If they had not considered by Sunday evening, then I assure you that you won’t see it this Saturday.
I very seriously doubt it, but if who cheered for whom made any difference in the final score, I would have been a rich man by now. Don’t confuse...

Confirmed for what?
Apologies for the research question, but what were her exact words so I can understand?
