But, don't you want cali to decide for all usa :( @DrWittMDPhD
Pinks MO: post ponies with no contextual connection to whatever is going on in the channel, everyone gets mad, gang up on pinks
No my state can;'t be trusted

Cali should be a vassal of some deep red state
They need to vote for us tbh
Indeed, @DrWittMDPhD. The EC is vital to our Republic.
trump moved from dem to rep in 2016
now theyre using the opposite tactic of having the most stereotypical conservative run for democrat lead
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
||shut up they don't get mad if you point out the intent||
Also sayemi is a liar every time he says he's going to sleep
Cali should have hard border with USA
well i remmebered something
No need.
and now im down a rabbithole
xenon can you help me
No just invade us, give and on your way into LA give guns to the red district lads and we'll help you
If you want to strip Cali. of influence, dispose of the 17th Amendment, and they'll no longer be able to influence elections outside their State.

Depends, do I need to expend calories?
not really
i can explain in dms
just turn cali into a crater the world would be better for it
So from what I'm reading, the 17th blasted whatever EC like election system the senators used in their own states?
Which I am fond of, by the way (repealing the 17th). Self-government is only retained when you decentralize, the reason the Framer's ensured Senators were appointed by the State legislature of which the seat is to be filled, required to be a district-level representative ascendant to the higher chamber.
Yes, @DrWittMDPhD.
Well rip. Time to strike that one down
Also the 19th while we're at it

It'd be attractive to both left and right.
Feel free to read my screenshot, from my previous conversation, and you'll get an in-depth understanding of it - first link.
I think I already understand it without really looking. I already think the EC is the big sexy, and hate popular vote, so extending this to California where my red district is raped by LA and SD is the same shit
What spawned the conversation was the feeling people have, currently, with distant Senators legislating with no connection to the interests on the district-level.
Yeah, @DrWittMDPhD, the key is understanding it in-depth, so you can explain it to others and sway them to support the position.
Yeah I already understand the EC argument after having to rationalize it and learn why I was so wrong about it Pre-Trump
Unfortunately, we don't have much of a base outside the conservative aisle for rolling back the 17th, because we're not making arguments that also appeal to the left, to everyone.
Well, it functions similar to the EC, in that it provides for a Republican mechanic, but how it impacts the government is vastly different, arguably more important than the EC.
