re: Maine joins unConstitutional National Popular Vote states

Posted by bluestem75 on 4/17/24 at 10:21 am

It’s unconstitutional because it invalidates the election results within the state’s own borders. Why bother even having an election if the electors are going to throw out those results in an effort to award votes to a different candidate that more people voted for in other states? That would be lik...

re: Question for people that have watched Dune I and II, but haven't read the books.

Posted by bluestem75 on 4/13/24 at 9:04 am

Never read the books. Wasn’t lost at all. I think the new movies do a great job of adapting a sprawling, difficult book into easily digestible pieces for a movie audience. Never watched the 84 version because it’s so campy bad. I didn’t feel like those films took the material seriously in the way...

They vowed never to lose control again after getting hammered in 1994. That’s why 2000, 2002, and 2016 riles them up so much. They think they shouldn’t have to meet the needs of the voters; the voters should just give them power because their causes are “on the right side of history.”...
