@galesteppes The long march continues

@Fitzydog have you heard of the national popular vote interstate compact ?

@galesteppes yes

If they use that in the next election, we WILL have a civil war

Looks like that violates Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution

Yes, but remember that they're getting the same number of states as needed for a constitutional convention

Which opens up Pandora's box

It also violates several other sections

@galesteppes That last paragraph is key though

@Fitzydog purge the subverters of the constitution when

When they enact a new amendment

What exactly is the interstate compact?

@kimbertactpro9 It replaces the republic with a democracy

A whole bunch of states are vowing to pool their electoral votes together if a presidential candidate wins the popular vote

That’s gonna be bad as if it’s implemented

It'll make things really spicy for sure

You'll have two presidents, and an actual civil war on your hands

@Fitzydog sorry?

They are making a law that breaks the constitution that would allow them to change the constitution?

@Ondsinet Yep. The states that made the compact won't recognize the electorally elected president, and the rest of the nation wouldn't recognize the popular president

@Ondsinet No

The way they're doing it NOW is illegal

Sorry?

Yep or no lolo

But if they do a constitutional convention, which is like typing 'sudo' in a terminal, they could make this change

Wouldn’t that give states commonwealth powers. I’m starting to get fallout vibes

@Fitzydog

Gotcha

Pretty shitty

Which state has the nukes?

Fallout styke

@Ondsinet I said "yep" to your "sorry?", but no to your summary

@Fitzydog yeah I got it thanks

Lots of states have nukes

They're almost all in red States lol
