CUBA HAS BETTER REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY THAN THE COUNTRY THAT CLAIMS IT INVENTED DEMOCRACY, HANKWithout the electoral college it's tyranny of the majority. It's much better that elections get decided based on where a bad batch of condoms got shipped 25 years ago.
It's like the old saying goes, a census form is worth 8,962 ballots
Idk if this is true or not but it is extremely funny. This is definitely a very real and functional democracy.
Can you believe I actually know someone in real life who is a sincere 'land area should = vote proportionality' guy?
In that moment, I was just so dumbfounded as I listened to this person explain to me how, like, Nebraska should get more electoral votes than New York and pointing out to me how there was so much more red area on the map than blue, and how that oughta count for something.
The number of wealthy tech dudes who are guarded about their politics so they don't get kicked out of the polycule: likely too many
I basically don't go to any of the events, just everyone I seem to meet is a neurodivergent polyamorous person of some sort. I did go to a few a couple of years ago, just wasn't my crowd (except for the occasional new person who also went for the same reason). I tend to be very 1-1 with my partners
Bit idea: land area = more electoral votes and then all of us on Hexbear move to Alaska and declare it the successor state of the CCCP.
I had a lib in a “far left” Discord server refer to the electoral college as a “lesser known” aspect of US elections and explained it in depth as if no one knew about it. I told him about the Alabama Paradox and he said that’s why we needed to vote for Kamala even harder.
if we make the rules complicated enough, then it's not our fault when the system grinds children into a paste
This assumes NC and NV don't go Democrat which I'll believe when I see it.
Ok I believe it; sowwy
Kraz, actually New York would have gotten that congressional seat. This means it would still be 270-268!
I think that’s complete bullshit. A different population means earlier rounds of apportionment will go different, not just that one round. Which means you can’t calculate the population difference for losing a seat within a single round of apportionment.
By my guessing and checking, MN loses a seat at 864 less population, not 26. As others have pointed out, it would lose that seat to NY, so no electoral difference in that map.
If aliens invaded and were made from Bismuth, its likely that the current administration would see an electoral boost unless it was full of compradors or something.
