Anything to say on your WW2 reparation argument being destroyed? Gonna just dodge that? See, this is the problem with online discourse.
Y'all haven't discussed, you accused someone of being smooth brained. If you don't agree with their position, calling them stupid instead of explaining why they may be wrong is the wrong reason and why you and no one in this thread can actually reach 'discussion' status.
Care to look at my last post with Joker? He treats me with respect so I treat him with it.
If you mean the one I just posted, I acknowledge the video came from a partisan source with a specific political agenda--but the video itself is not particularly partisan, and I had no agenda in posting it. It's just a nicely produced call for more constructive conversation that's more persuasive than the usual petty bickering.
The mod team definitely deserves props for keeping this thread open despite some of the tempestuous arguments and incendiary language. This thread is likely to die anyway as soon as the winner of the election is announced.
He's also somehow more popular now than he was in 2016, yet now he's more likely to lose. Dems really messed up in 2016 (combined with some crazy good luck for Republicans.)
I think Republicans have done to Biden what Democrats did to Trump in 2016: they set the standards for him so low that he couldn't fail. All Biden has to do at this point is speak coherently and not soil himself to deliver a successful speech or argument.
He seems to simultaneously have more supporters and more people opposing him, which is interesting. Or maybe just more vocal. Im not sure if I believe in the silent majority narrative Republicans push. Guess we will all see soon enough.
I agree.
I'm confused. I stopped following politics years ago, but didn't Hillary win the popularity vote, but Trump got elected due to the electoral college? Just like Al Gore?

What a fucking abhorrent c u n t.Imagine being able to murder someone, and sue their loved ones
Louisville police officer sues Kenneth Walker, boyfriend of Breonna Taylor, for emotional distress, assault and battery
"Walker's conduct in shooting Mattingly is outrageous, intolerable, and offends all accepted standards of decency and morality," the lawsuit notes.
Lol. He literally lost the popular vote by millions of votes. Not only that, but not since 1876 have we had someone lose the popular vote to the runner up by such a large margin and still get elected. There is no "silent majority".
It was part of a compromise from the southern states, because they were less populous, and would therefore have much less influence in a national popular vote.

There's a good bit of info about it in Khan Academy's awesome (and free) American History course: https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/us-history/the-gilded-age#south-after-civil-warIt was part of a compromise from the southern states, because they were less populous, and would therefore have much less influence in a national popular vote.
James Madison hated it and argued against it, but wasn't able to affect that change.
I don't think it's a good idea, and I don't think it's necessary. It doesn't even do what it was designed to do, boost the influence of less populous states, but instead creates a huge fight over swing states instead.
Edit: Found an article on it that, after some skimming, partially refutes my point. It wasn't necessarily about lower population in the southern states. It was because they couldn't count their slaves, so the electoral college and the 3/5's compromise put them on equal footing with non-slave states. It always comes back to slavery. Every god damn time :/
