Re: Why vote for Biden
Yup..by the slimmest of margins in three states. Will blacks who wernt feeling Hillary come out and vote this time? Will the Obama/Trump voter stay with Trump? Will independents hold their nose and vote for Joe to have normalcy? Will the hidden majority of whites come out of the woodwork in non urban areas in greater numbers than before?
That sums up the election for me

Re: Why vote for Biden
It would appear that Biden has less support than Hilary did.

Re: Why vote for Biden
Actually there have been about 165 faithless electors over 58 elections but only a handful have crossed parties.
As for the EC...what we have is a compromise. Madison argued vehemently against the EC in its present form as he outlined in the Federalist Papers. He never wanted a winner take all prospect in any state and in the original draft of the constitution it was explicitly forbiden. The reason being 2 fold. First, it could disenfranchise 49% of a states population. Second he felt that it would require candidates to take all states into consideration.

Re: Why vote for Biden
I read that article earlier today. I don't buy it. Hillary drew negative emotions from everybody. I'm not commenting on Latino community as I'm not plugged into it. In our community, based on people I know, podcast that I've listened to, comments from black twitter, yes black twitter ... Biden isn't loved, but is liked a hell of allot more than Hillary. People want him out and they will vote since they know what happened the last time they didn't vote.
I put it to u this way. I'm not plugged into the community of suburbia who are afraid that they are going to be "come for" if Biden gets elected. Since I'm not privy to that, I think it's hogwash. I could be wrong.
Just like this author, he doesnt really know if he doesn't swing in those circles.

Re: Why vote for Biden
Context always matters. Those 250,000 aren't out of 330 million, though that's the larger population, and it's a still-growing number. Remember when it used be fifteen and soon will be almost zero? Seems so long ago.
Is four a big number? It's not if you're talking four dollars as a day's pay. It is if you're talking about bodies you have to help your friend bury.

Re: Why vote for Biden
States choose how to apportion their electors with at least two (ME and NE) alloting them 2 for the statewide winner and the others by Congressional district. Petition MD to make the change, I am sure they will be willing to give up 1-3 of their otherwise locked in electors every POTUS election.

Re: Why vote for Biden
It’s not a hunch. C’mon man. Read between the lines and then between those.
The Bush/ Gore election was bought and paid for by Big Oil. Period. Bush IS an oil man , Evil Chaney was head of Haliburton ( who works hand in hand with Big Oil) and well ...Gore a was a nut job who not only invented the internet ...warned of the evils of fossil fuels.
The Trump election was and is brought to you by Wall St. who’s made out the best since his election ? Who’s basically printed money since his election? Who gains the most with Trump as Pres? Wall St! The Koch Bros and the rest of that scum bought the election for one of their own.
If you can’t see it ..I can’t help you.
Like I’ve said before ( in this very thread ) Both Bush and Trump are /were better choices than Gore or Killary. Period. That doesn’t mean they actually “won” the election. Both were basically put in office with an agenda.
