Re: I've voted Libertarian for President the last two times damookster Send a noteboard - 08/07/2024 03:23:12 PM


Remember though, the Dems care about running up the vote tallies in states where they're already winning, so they can win the popular vote while they lose the electoral vote. Like a football team that cares more about yards of offense than the score, or a futbol team that cares more about shots on goal than actual goals.

Facts! The progressive wing of the Democratic Party wants nothing more than to undermine foundational aspects of the Constitution. Getting rid of the Electoral College, if it could be accomplished, would be a major win for them.

Honestly, the word's been used so much it's an established term by now. Don't think they invented it Legolas - 02/07/2024 08:54:50 PM 281 Views
