    sorry JimL here in California it is the Democrats guilty of what your lying leftist handlers tell you the Republican are doing.

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.

        Since Jimmy wants to whine about the fact that democrats changing the rules about 10 years ago is responsible for their issues today, maybe I should deal with his other rants...

        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.
