Tim, your first post was a bit hyperbolic but justifiable. But this is just ridiculous.
Ummmm, didn't you see his proof on this several pages ago?
This is so true. Trump actually did better in the big cities in 2020 then 2016. His lost is solely because his vote collapsed in suburbs. Basically, he is blaming his loss on these cities and their primary residents since it plays with his base and his racist attitudes vs. the reality that his ideas/policies were rejected by historically republican suburbs.
I don’t think it proves it. He’s fighting everywhere he can win (which as it turns out is nowhere.) But in his tweets he specifically attacks the voting in Philadelphia and Detroit.Joe Summer said:

12,284 votes.
Even if somehow PA, Wisconsin, and Nevada were able to flip, that would still leave Biden with 270
Exactly. The suburbs cost Trump the election.Redwes25 said:
They are just going to move on to another bigger challenge. There are no signs whatsoever that Trump, his supporters or the National GOP are giving up on this.
Can almost bank on that. Super petty. Totally his M.O.Greedo said:
Almost as good is him sweating so much his hair dye is running down his face.
Drank more. Hooked up with another 24yo from the office later. She made me aware that she knew she was second.You may think it's embarrassing, and I may think it's embarrassing, and millions of other people may think it's embarrassing......but there are others in this wide country who have described it, with all apparent sincerity, as "showmanship."
Well then it's embarrassing for them too. The guy had hair dye dripping down both sides of his head and then rubbed snot all over his face.

When I was in HS, before C, I scored this office job for the summer. It was pretty great. Lots of cake. I don't mean slang cake, I'm talking birthday cakes. Anyhow, good looking single women everywhere. I went to many happy hours with them. I always had a suit on, blended in.
My last day they had a party. I hooked up with a 24 yo woman still so far out of my league that I can't believe it. You would recognize her.
Why can't every day be like that?
##Sorry, thought we needed a break##
You need to keep reading - lots of people on the left still saying the EC is dumb. And I agree with them. And there’s been zero evidence of widespread fraud unless you count what Trump is currently doing.
There have been posts in quite a few threads that are still saying the EC needs to go...and that its outdated. The candidate also won the popular vote by a very wide margin.
This. The president is well within his rights to ask for recounts and pursue challenges in court. What we've seen is ridiculous press conferences where they throw a bunch of conspiracy theories against wall, point to it and say the election was stolen. If you have the proof, present it in court, and let the process play out. Instead the president's legal team has either lost or withdrawn the cases they've filed.
And prove it in a court of law, not just hold press conferences and make claims on Twitter.
Biden voter, I still think the Electoral College should be abolished.
@SoBeDad posted this in the Trump 2020 thread...which I have vowed not to post in...but it relates to this...
Was the EC more an artifact of appeasement to the slave states than agriculture?
Really? Given Biden got 6mm more votes then Trump I have sure heard a lot about it. There would be no insane debate about GA, PA, etc. if we just used the popular vote.
We've been saying it needs adjustment throughout. I'm all for an adjustment to the EC to better reflect current population distribution. I don't think we should get rid of it entirely, as we don't want to completely eliminate representation for significant minority portions of the electorate.
I don’t think it was either. It’s a recognition that for a republic too much democracy is dangerous. The EC, Constitution, and judicial system were all designed as bulwarks against unlimited majority rule.
I'll need to do my own history reading on this. Am I understanding the theory is that having 2 people (e.g. Michigan) with ability to thwart popular vote is less risky than managing to popular vote? That's really counter intuitive. Maybe the point is EC without possibility of faithless electors makes sense for a republic. That I see.
This is ridiculous. With the advent of technology and politicians being able to reach every citizen now through multiple forms of media it is no longer relevant.
