basically instead of two tables at the poll during the primaries youd have 3

2018-07-07 03:07:41 UTC  

the only reason RNC and DNC exist is to narrow down candidates

2018-07-07 03:07:47 UTC  

through the primary

2018-07-07 03:08:03 UTC  

but the people still elect the candidate

2018-07-07 03:08:56 UTC  

then the Super Delegates are SUPPOSED to function similarly to the Electoral College and vote with the constituents iirc

2018-07-07 03:09:49 UTC  

Yeah... The EU is doing alot it shouldn't.
I get the narrowing down principle, it makes sense for a party to do so.
But as you point out, at least one more option would probably do alot of good.
The super delegate part though, very strange!

2018-07-07 03:10:03 UTC  

and if it HAD to be between two parties then we would have to have an additional process after the primary to narrow things further

2018-07-07 03:10:51 UTC  

Super Delegates can be bought and honestly i think that they should be nonpartisan as a result

2018-07-07 03:10:55 UTC  

Man, if it had to be between two parties the corruption potential would be hughe

2018-07-07 03:11:02 UTC  

because they already have party biases

2018-07-07 03:11:20 UTC  

thats the problem we are dealing with

2018-07-07 03:11:35 UTC  

ofc they have. There should be no acctual delegates, only the result of the voting

2018-07-07 03:11:40 UTC  

DNC rigged the presidential primaries to ensure Hilarys win

2018-07-07 03:11:54 UTC  

yea ideally

2018-07-07 03:11:55 UTC  

i heard about that

2018-07-07 03:11:58 UTC  

very sad

2018-07-07 03:12:16 UTC  

id maintain the electoral college in regards to the over pres election though

2018-07-07 03:13:06 UTC  

popular vote aint always the smartest lol nor are electors at times but idk its a insurance thing if anything

2018-07-07 03:13:29 UTC  

like before typically electors just vote with the state

2018-07-07 03:13:39 UTC  

It may very well be an insuranse thing, but also a weak point

2018-07-07 03:13:49 UTC  

I remember hearing about that and the fact that bernie pulled a coward move and played for Hillary really showed me a lot

2018-07-07 03:14:16 UTC  

and since electors change based on population the way you campaign changes

2018-07-07 03:14:37 UTC  

Bernie did essentially cuck himself

2018-07-07 03:14:44 UTC  

Should I start another BLM page? The official one was some Australian guy having a laugh. And I'm an Australian guy that wants a laugh.. I could make them all do the Boiling water challenge and become cannibals or some shit

2018-07-07 03:14:58 UTC  

Very complicated system for someone not as read in to it as me đŸ˜›

2018-07-07 03:15:29 UTC  

tbh i dont know as much as i might be implying, especially about the Electoral College

2018-07-07 03:15:46 UTC  

Probably more than me anyhow!

2018-07-07 03:15:50 UTC  

thats why idk how to argue or or against it when it comes up

2018-07-07 03:15:59 UTC  

fair lol

2018-07-07 03:17:17 UTC  

oh boy, here comes the facts!

2018-07-07 03:17:17 UTC  

"Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate’s political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. Read more about the qualifications of the Electors and restrictions on who the Electors may vote for."

2018-07-07 03:17:22 UTC  

lol

2018-07-07 03:17:35 UTC  

jeez

2018-07-07 03:17:43 UTC  

id get rid of party selected ones

2018-07-07 03:17:51 UTC  

but yea it leaves it up to the states

2018-07-07 03:18:07 UTC  

so California might have different rules from say Texas

2018-07-07 03:18:48 UTC  

btw something those two states have in common. They both like talking big, and about succession

2018-07-07 03:19:17 UTC  

aaaaaaaand they never do it, in part cause its illegal to leave the Union

2018-07-07 03:19:29 UTC  

Is it really illegal??

2018-07-07 03:20:01 UTC  

"The Constitution does not directly mention secession. ... The Supreme Court has consistently interpreted the Constitution to be an "indestructible" union. There is no legal basis a state can point to for unilaterally seceding. Many scholars hold that the Confederate secession was blatantly illegal."
