And they do so to get a set quota, to basically decide on an outcone

2018-11-22 16:23:21 UTC  

```I didn't say I don't know what is going on or how things work. I said the way you elect your ruler is a form of affirmitive action.```

2018-11-22 16:23:43 UTC  

Yes, and we've been explaining why that's not a valid comparison

2018-11-22 16:24:00 UTC  

Affirmative action is working against the basis of a given system for a desired outcome

2018-11-22 16:24:11 UTC  

And you’re wrong.
You never fielded a good argument for your case.

2018-11-22 16:24:39 UTC  

The electoral college is a method by which states in a union send representatives to vote for their country's leadership

2018-11-22 16:24:54 UTC  

You’re deliberately ignoring the differences between affirmative action and representation government.

2018-11-22 16:25:03 UTC  

That’s not a win for you

2018-11-22 16:25:04 UTC  

I don't care on what basics it is being used on. It doesn't change what it is when it's applyed to population instead on race.

2018-11-22 16:25:10 UTC  

Again, it's like saying the UN is affirmative action because the US doesn't have 10 representatives

2018-11-22 16:25:22 UTC  

Poppy where are u from

2018-11-22 16:25:26 UTC  

UK

2018-11-22 16:25:31 UTC  

It isn’t the same.

2018-11-22 16:25:32 UTC  

"I don't care what the differences are, I'll just restate my assertion"

2018-11-22 16:25:49 UTC  

I'm staying on point.

2018-11-22 16:26:00 UTC  

No, you're just ignoring incoming information

2018-11-22 16:26:19 UTC  

Are countries in europe different then poppy?

2018-11-22 16:26:19 UTC  

The basis for the United States is not a system of mob rule

2018-11-22 16:26:25 UTC  

I know how and why the votes are counted the way they are in the US.

2018-11-22 16:26:27 UTC  

It is, in fact, designed exactly against that

2018-11-22 16:26:40 UTC  

Then you know that it's not the same thing, and you're just being obtuse

2018-11-22 16:26:49 UTC  

The point behind an interview is to get the best person for the job

2018-11-22 16:27:11 UTC  

The point behind the US system is to elect leadership based on State representatives

2018-11-22 16:27:36 UTC  

Affirmative action undermines the primary goal of hiring

2018-11-22 16:27:45 UTC  

The electoral college secures the primary goal of the US system

2018-11-22 16:28:37 UTC  

In my country one persons vote is counted the same as any ohters. Unlike a black person with the same grades as another when it comes to applying to uni.

2018-11-22 16:29:48 UTC  

That's because you live in one state. The US is many states

2018-11-22 16:30:16 UTC  

@Beemann YOu are not explaining why the two thing are differnet. YOu are just telling me why you like one of them.

2018-11-22 16:30:30 UTC  

No, you're just being obtuse

2018-11-22 16:31:04 UTC  

You live in one state, when you join up with other states (say for the EU) each state sends a representative

2018-11-22 16:31:43 UTC  

The notion that you ought to enter a union where you will be deliberately underrepresented is silly

2018-11-22 16:31:48 UTC  

Affirmative action tkaes into account where/who/what you are when considering what you are worth. Tell me how the ecetoral collage is different.

2018-11-22 16:32:06 UTC  

So do job interviews my dude

2018-11-22 16:32:19 UTC  

Ergo job interviews are all just affirmative action

2018-11-22 16:32:20 UTC  

i'm not saying it's worng!!!!!!!

2018-11-22 16:32:36 UTC  

No, you're overly broadening affirmative action to the point of uselessness

2018-11-22 16:32:43 UTC  

???

It's like if I said I'm running a marathon right now, because a marathon is going from A to B, and B is far away
But I'm in a car

2018-11-22 16:33:36 UTC  

All interviews take into account who/what/where you are
