@Clive Just to let you know, when you are calculating things based on pure numbers, you won't normally get the outcome you want because humans aren't just math. But if you also have a good argument to go with it, it might be worth thinking/talking about.
Good math + good argument should be acquired
Ya, its not just good enough to say X number of people here = you win, because you don't always know how people will behave.
And you dont know if itll stay like that
Electoral college is to keep it fair, not to keep republicans winning
So 40 years from now it may be different, it may be backwards
@Shadows to be fair, I don't honestly think we should abolish the EC, I'm pointing out the irony of, if every red state had every eligible adult vote for who that state *generally* supported based on 2016 voting patterns, then Re > Dem because red states house more +18 humans than blue states, currently
can i attach the spreadhseet i made? so you can judge for yourselves?
idk how
Screenshot it put it in <#266396659062145025>
Or link it in <#266401012967931905>
Abolishing the EC would likely secure republican victories for now, but it would also be awful for future generations.
Could secure*
Yes
No way of knowing how fucked the future would be though
Not really something we need worry about, i'm working on homemade nukes, it will be over soon.
done
"if every eligible adult voted"
But that literally never happens
Indeed.
@Shadows
Don't joke too hard about that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn
Well... He did almost build a nuclear bomb and all...
"After his time on USS Enterprise, Hahn enlisted"
I don't remember this episode
*"After his time on USS* ENTERPRISE *, Hahn enlisted in the Marines and was stationed in North Carolina."*
(Normally I wouldn't, but there's some some things I can't and shouldn't be allowed to tolerate.)
@Deleted User is actually @Shadows. Change my mind
@DJ_Anuz
¿Voice chat? He can't be logged on as both without blowing up vc...
I also thought he might be fake. He seems less aggressive than the first time.
He didnt even call me a Jew yet.
“Assault weapons” have but ONE definition; Automatic ᵃⁿᵈ/ₒᵣ burst fire compatible detachable magaᵶine fed firearms. If it’s semi-automatic, it’s NOT an "assault" anything.
You’ll note there is no refrence to caliber. That’s not an accident. Caliber doesn’t matter.
That's the definition of an "assault rifle", not an "assault weapon". You've already fell for the fake news
Yeah, assault weapon doesn't mean shit, especially if you go by what they try to ban to keep people from getting ahold of 'assault weapons.'
To be honest, as little as the gun grabbers actually care about fidelity of language, I'm surprised they don't just use the phrase assault rifle.
plausible deniability, perhaps? Directly using a defined term in the wrong fashion would be too obvious
so they came up with something really close and let the confusion come naturally
That's probably it.
Subterfuge
I'm a snekky snek
@C1PHER, @wolfman1911,
Great, good. ***YOU*** come up with a definition that I can't get around with clever engineering ᵃⁿᵈ/ₒᵣ marketing. Seriously, any answer you can give, I can get around... Except this one. It's a shame I can't put pictures here, I could defeat that "no such thing" _"argument"_ in two photos (1 if I could get them together).
"assault weapon" is a meaningless term - all weapons are used for assault which makes a knife an "assault weapon". it's a weapon for assaulting people.
it's a term that's meant to be grey enough so that each kind gets eventually all demonized and banned along the slippery slope
@Agent Smith
Pretty sure I proved differently...
