re: Question for those coming to this board to score gotcha points tonight

And I'll leave you with this:

The problem with this board, is that it's an internet board and one that focuses on politics. We're all anonymous and we don't take time to understand each individual poster and his thoughts on an array of subjects because it's too easy to paint one person based on one topic one certain way and keep them in that box. It's easy to do that because it's anonymous and because it's easy to discount another's opinions on the internet. I'm guilty of it myself at times as is everyone on this board. But, maybe we should all realize that real life isn't House of Cards. Just because they aren't in your political side, doesn't mean they are evil people trying to do evil deeds.

Good night poliboard, ya bunch of degenerates!

That's the thing that people here (just like people on Vox or DU) need to learn from this shite. I thinking anyone who marches around with a Nazi flag is the scum of the Earth. Same for anyone who supports the genocidal communist regimes that have oppressed people on Earth.

At the same time 99.9999% of this country doesn't fall into either group. It's time to remember we made this great nation together.

It's not half, and never has been. Your grand wizard got elected with a minority of the vote because of our anti-democratic electoral system. That said, yes, you mother frickers are as evil as humans can be.

Maybe look up why the electoral college was established and Jeffersons words regarding that. For claiming you are against disenfranchisement of votes, this response is 100% for disenfranchisement.

You seriously think this board is full of evil people?

I would say at least 90% of people on this board are flat-out racist, evil mother frickers. You don't even have to go beyond the first page on this board on any day of the week to find some idiots posting shite about "culcha" and talking about the "animals" and "savages" that they think should be done away with. A white guy, a Christian, can do any god-damned act of evil imaginable, and no one here will criticize white or Christian "culture", but let a black or muslim person do something bad, and it's an indictment of all muslim and black people everywhere. It is classic racism. And yes, it's dripping from practically every post on this board every day.

If there is one silver lining to the election of the worst head of state in the history of humanity, it is that we have now seen that the openly virulent and blatant racism that we once thought had been banished to the fringes of our political system is still very apparent. They hid for a while, but with Trump's election they have started coming out of the woodwork. We needed that wake up call. We needed to know that racism and bigotry is still very apparent, very common and very much a threat to the very soul of our society. The civil rights movement accomplished a lot, but way more needs to be done.

I've never understand the logic of how anyone is disenfranchised if the electoral college was removed. We accept a non-electoral-esque vote for the other offices

Population centers gathered among the coasts. You believe that only coastal cities should decide the fate of the country?

If half of the country lived in those cities, that is what it is. It's more logical to me to let 51% of the country control the election than a random selection of "battleground" states that represent a much smaller portion of the population.

California and New York are a combined 100 electoral votes. The tilt is to the democrats advantage. Hell, the entire history of our country has been an even ebbs nd flow of democrat and republican. And you think because Hillary Clinton didn't win, the EC is broken? Maybe, running the shittiest candidate in the history of politics is the problem and not the EC that has been working finely over the history of the country.

Seriously, look up why the EC was established and come back and explain how it isn't fair, and why and not base your opinions on party politics.

I mean the electoral college was designed to stop the tyranny of the majority at a time when state identity and state v. state politics mattered much more than they do now.

I'm not saying that pure democracy is some kind of ultimate answer. I'm just making the point that the electoral college essentially devolves the entire election into the hands of a group of states that happened to be "in play."
