Bush may have actually legitimately re-won the White House.

Last time I checked, Bush received more than the requisite 270 Electoral Votes required to win the presidency. These votes were furthermore certified by the House of Representatives as legitimate. Therefore, any assertion that Bush didn't legitimately win is complete and utter bullshit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anytime, you pretentious jackass. You wanna make outlandish claims, back them up, don't sit here and try and act like the bullshit you spew is true without any kind of proof.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What's pretentious and outlandish is an electoral college system that misrepresents the total population of the United States.

Your ignorance as to the actual purpose and reasonings behind the Electoral College is startling. The people were never intended to be represented by the Electoral College in the first place, the states were.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

But a President does have to win the majority of votes cast -- Electoral votes.

Those are the votes that matter.

It's not broken, it just doesn't work the way you want it to.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Basically, it invalidates the opinions of people that live in less-influential electoral states.

I know. It was designed to be that way. It doesn't mean in any way that it is broken, just that you don't like it. It has worked effectively for the entire existence of this country and as of yet, I have seen absolutely ZERO reason as to why it has to be changed other than you don't like it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

People in this country should be rewarded for voting.

Why? The men who put together the Constitution obviously didn't think so.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just like Mikey has said five times in this thread already. Just because someone lives in a state with a large population doesn't mean that their opinion is more valuable than people anywhere else.

Nonsense. States with larger populations pay more taxes, which gives the politicians the capital with which to do what they do that keeps them in power. That fact alone makes their opinion more valuable.

It sucks, yes, but that's just the harsh reality of the situation.

FELIPE NO
