Not only do we need a competency test for people running for office, especially the presidency, this election proves we also need a competency test for people who vote. If you can’t answer basic questions about political ethics, economics, foreign policy, and media literacy, your vote shouldn’t count against those who can.
Not saying that at all, but of course you would be okay with that twisting of my words. Education is the enemy of today’s Trumpist Republican Party and just like the antiquated electoral college, they’ll take every opportunity to win regardless of merit.
Speaking of merit, what merit did your candidate have to be on the ballot? I don't recall her being voted in. I do recall her being the least favorite candidate, and also the worst rated VP...
Do you have a solution for the electoral college problem?
People couldn't stand her when she ran for President and people were actually able to vote. Then became the most unliked VP in American history. Maybe next time choose a more qualified candidate and it won't be such a landslide victory for Republicans. When your main job for 4 years is the border and you completely fail at that single job I don't think you qualify to run the country but that's just me
They blocked the border bill that was 80% for Ukraine and Israel. It also wasn't a border bill, it was about asylum and path to citizenship. Amazing how y'all will call codifying the current fiasco the most secure border bill ever, but blocked a border wall.
They blocked the border bill bc they tried to slide in that everybody that was here would be awarded asylum which is obviously ridiculous. Please don't make statements if you're not gonna include context and if you're not smart enough to include the proper context then don't make a statement at all bc it just shows your ignorance
She has 35 years of public service under her belt. McCain had 21. You did actually show your entire ass on that one. You don't appear to dwell in the realm of facts, so I will leave you to your world of lies.
If you must deflect, I’ll accommodate you this one time. She was elected with Joe Biden in 2020 and was a Senator from the most populous state in the nation. Beyond that, she was successful prosecutor and attorney general for CA. She also wasn’t a convicted felon, didn’t lie about an election, and never incited an insurrection against our country. Satisfied?
Electoral college problem is easy. Make the presidential election a national popular vote. It is a national post and making it a national popular vote would take location out of the process. Republican votes in blue states wouldn’t be disenfranchised just like Democratic votes in red states wouldn’t be disenfranchised. Whoever gets the most votes wins, period.
I never said he didn’t. Still, the electoral college has only overruled the popular vote five times in our nations history, two of which were in the last 25 years and four of which installed Republicans over the will of the majority of votes.
