i heard about that
very sad
id maintain the electoral college in regards to the over pres election though
popular vote aint always the smartest lol nor are electors at times but idk its a insurance thing if anything
like before typically electors just vote with the state
It may very well be an insuranse thing, but also a weak point
I remember hearing about that and the fact that bernie pulled a coward move and played for Hillary really showed me a lot
and since electors change based on population the way you campaign changes
Bernie did essentially cuck himself
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
Very complicated system for someone not as read in to it as me đŸ˜›
tbh i dont know as much as i might be implying, especially about the Electoral College
Probably more than me anyhow!
thats why idk how to argue or or against it when it comes up
fair lol
oh boy, here comes the facts!
"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."
lol
jeez
but yea it leaves it up to the states
so California might have different rules from say Texas
btw something those two states have in common. They both like talking big, and about succession
aaaaaaaand they never do it, in part cause its illegal to leave the Union
Is it really illegal??
"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."
so yes and no
Sounds like there is no law or chapter touching on the subject?
basically
if there is no writing forbiding it is it not then legal?
theoretically a state could probs but the overall Union would likely respond in a way to keep them in
Man that is an interesting subject, would be nice to have a lawyer pitch in
kinda like the Civil War
it was after that that we "made it" illegal
yea
Constitutional lawyer specifically
^^
"Texas v. White in 1869, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that states cannot secede."
I bet there is a great and way too long ytube video on this
Of course it was Texas lol
