Leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates declined requests to speak to President Biden during the Ukraine crisis, officials say. They both took calls from Putin.

The adults are back in the room and US foreign policy has been saved!
BTW, I think the only person that Biden actually talked to was the 86 year old dad of one of the guys in charge
But, at least the bad orange man isn't still brokering ME peace deals anymore

It’s also amazing how people follow the group majority.
For example blacks in MS and Hispanics in Texas are way more conservative minded than Hispanics in California or blacks in Illinois. Even though the media would have you believe these demographics just vote democrat everywhere. 4 out of the 6 black men that work on the farm for me voted Trump
Even more than that, the values of each party changes depending on where they are in the country. A democrat where I live is likely more conservative that a republican in California or New York.

yup.
Notice how the Soros-funded D.A. in Jackson isn't soft on crime.

That kind of thing is why I really want the electoral college done away with.
It's idiotic that you really only need to campaign in 15 or so states during any given cycle.
A Repub vote in Cali should have just as much impact as a Dem vote in Texas.
What we have now really only caters to the extremes of each party and makes it nearly impossible for anyone to break the two party stranglehold. It sucks arse.

So you want to reduce that to 5 or 6 by tossing the electoral college?
Goddamn

It wouldn't do that at all b/c most states are shades of purple and within those shades of purple are a wide variety of values.
Like has been said, a Republican or Dem in one state is not going to be the same as Republican or Dem in another. It would force candidates to be far more centrist and would heavily cut down on the impact of the extreme right and extreme left during primaries.

No, it reduces the campaign trail to the largest population centers in the country, which means states like WY or MS or IA don't count and will be thrown to the side with none of their issues or interests being taken into consideration. Are you a college kid or something?

We already have that.
A Dem vote in Texas or a Repub vote in Cali mean jack shite right now so a Dem doesn't waste time in Texas and Repub doesn't waste time in Cali. They aren't going hard in states like Wyoming or Mississippi either. Right now unless you are a swing state they dont give a shite.
No electoral college create opportunities for completely different voting collations than we have right now and would make you have to appeal to a far wider variety of voters. This would rid us of extremist pandering bullshite that nobody from either side likes.
Look, we aren't going to agree on this and this and that isn't what this thread is for so lets drop it.

It drastically reduced representation by a large margin. Hell, even AOC was complaining that WY was "overrepresented" because they have 2 senators like everyone else. Doing away with the EC does nothing more than consolidate even more power to population centers.

I already said we aren't going to agree and this thread isn't for a debate on the value of the EC so again we should just go ahead and agree to disagree.

Worst take yet in this thread.

I don't know. Seems like a fitting topic given how the Russians love centralized power

I agree. Because your take is fricking stupid.

Exactly. If that were to happen, Presidential candidates would only campaign in NYC, Philly, Miami, Chicago, Houston, DFW, Phoenix and LA if the electoral college was done away with.
A democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. A constitutional republic with an electoral college is two wolves and a well armed sheep deciding what’s for dinner.
If you think a pure democracy is a good idea like RC does, google Weimar Germany and see how that ended for them. The majority can be evil and do mass atrocities to the minority.

Can someone direct me to the tread discussing developments in Ukraine? It seems to have been relocated.
