@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

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
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
Gotcha
Pretty shitty
Which state has the nukes?
Fallout styke
Lots of states have nukes
They're almost all in red States lol
Oof
Thing is, the states who are pushing for this won't back down.
This isn't going to go away
