This meme is ignorant.

The presidential primaries and caucuses elected delegates to the national convention, as always. The delegates vote to nominate the Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees. This is the process if a candidate withdraws and releases his delegates.

I know I’m preaching to the choir here but holy sh*t the Electoral College is so so stupid. For example, in 2016 Hillary Clinton won DC by 270,000 votes and Donald Trump won Florida by 113,000 votes. Yet Clinton got just 3 EC votes out of DC and Trump got 29 from Florida. How does that make sense?

I swear, one day the “winning” candidate is going to lose the popular vote by 100 million votes and the U.S. will be plunged into civil war as a result. We need to get rid of the EC as soon as possible.

What? No.

Not if we win.

Once Texas turns blue in a decade or so all the Republicans will be in a long line to get rid of the electoral college.

Where's Florida? With all the retirees there and 2025 advocating getting rid of SS and Medicare. FL goes Blue.

Florida also has a ballot referendum on abortion but I still don’t trust it any more than I can throw it.

So factor those out of the top options.

Also, there is a better than decent chance NC goes blue. OP which side do you have that on?


I agree, and that includes the pissed off Arab voters Metro Detroit sitting this one out. Detroit’s black vote is going to come out in droves, which will tips the scales.


The arab vote in MI isn't even that big, and the fact is, they know they will be deported under Trump so they won't really stay home.

Add to it the stronger Union vote and frankly the Dems own the state right now politically and are doing great there.


What are you talking about ??? The whole area of greater Detroit is crawling with arabs.

Without the electoral college there would be no winner take all dynamic in states, so Republicans would campaign in California and Texas, Democrats would campaign in Texas and Florida, and every state’s voters would be in play.

Not after the vote counts are stopped, that’s for sure. And we have to make sure there is a software glitch Election Day.

You think Arizona will go red, considering there is an abortion referendum on the ballot, and Kari Lake is running for senate?

Yes, a lot of folks in AZ care about the border and illegal immigration. It's more important than abortion for them. They are surrounded by blue states that allow abortion. If they need it, they'll go to those blue states.

I'll say it again.. Biden really F*up the border issue from day 1. If he had addressed it earlier on, there would be no question as to who wins 2024.

- signed a Trump hater.

So what do you say to the GOP who voted down the border policy?

Also, good chance that GA goes blue. If Trump continues his craziness, which he will. Wyoming may be the only state he wins. He has a sentencing hearing on Sept. and I think he is going to get some jail time and he will go off the deep end then
