That's how California works as I understand.

the big city always outnumbers the surrpunding areas

Now im home

surrounding

The far coast has the population and dictates the policies. The rest of the state is actually trying to secede from CA because of it.

the issue with direct democracy is 2 major cities control the entire USA

i saw that about CA, but i heard it had been removed from the ballot

thats funny causei heardit came back

@TylerC yep. It's a tale as old as time too. If you think back feudal stories frequently have oppressed farmers being saved from domination from the capital and the government by rogues and vagabonds.

I want to see california secede from the USA

@acarson This is *precisely* why the US has the electoral college.

it balances interests.

yep

tell that to the leftists

Who dont understand

took me the longest time to realize that

a long time

to see why the mob has to be balanced out somehow

The funny thing is that the progressives believe it too.

If you go to universities they'll allocate chairs on student councils and leadership organizations to people of color.

They don't recognize the right of rural people to live as they want, however.

And they reject the electoral college as they want a tyranny of a couple key cities.

ya i mean, you all just leave us rednecks alone and we will just go back to being stupid lol

^

if only it were that simple

The majority of the US voted for Trump by county. By county CA voted for Trump

(i only call myself a redneck as a joke, i had always hated that term as a kid, but often get called one these days)

That's me, too.

i couldnt vote for him the first time, but i couldnt vote for hilary either

i dont know what ill do in 2020 too early to tell

but if they trot hilary back out

Personally, I'm not especially fond of Trump, but I'm not liking what I'm seeing either.

i know exactly what im doing

no way in hell i will help put that lady in that chair

Hillary was almost OK with me. I didn't vote for Trump either.

But the Dems have gone from questionable to insane from what I can see.

Assuming we have elections in 2020. The left seems to want to get rid of them in favor of appointing a leader by the party

I think we will.

The question is 2024.

Cowboy bebop is incredible

i didnt want hilary for a few reasons, one, for me, i was tired of clinton bush,... that has been 90% of my life

I got a feeling Trump is going to lose in 2020 and then all bets are off.
