Originally posted by JimL View PostThe Senate, not the House determines the electoral college as well as the confirmation of Judges. The current 51 Republican Senators represent only 143 million people while the 49 Democrat Senators represent 183 million people. In other words Democrats Represent, in the Senate, 40 million more people than do republicans and yet that republican minority gets to determine the makeup of the Supreme Court. That is ridiculous. The EC is also way out of whack when it comes to fairness. For instance, in comparison with their populations, the voters in small states like Wyoming get a 3.6 to 1 advantage over voters in California when it comes to electoral college representation.
And btw, the EC was far from a happy compromise by the Founding Fathers. Madison hated it and it just barely passed. When the minority vote keeps winning Presidential elections, and when the minority gets to determine the makeup of the courts, particularly the SC, then there is something wrong with the system whether you want to call it a democracy or a republic.
Oh, and btw, the House republican majority also represents a minority which they accomplish by both illegal gerrymandering as well as their voter suppression tactics.
Democrats Gerrymander too and gerrymandering only seems to work for a few years anyway because people move around all the time and throw off attempts at gerrymandering. It might work for a few elections, but not so well after a few years. The second issue is Jimmy whining about ‘voter suppression’ funny how democrats failed to dig up hard examples of this going on and reading actual text of the laws rarely support their opinions. On his issue of whining about total population, this of course assumes everyone in these states agrees with democrats, well they don’t. Do you know what state is in second for the most republicans in Congress? California, so the idea that everyone in a liberal state walks in lock step is absurd. So what we got is another misinformed Jimmy rant, where he shows that he’s programmed to accept usual dogma without any evidence to back it up."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."
