@_trash_void@PhDStrawMan@annamlulis You understand that a mother can leave her newborn infant at a fire station, hospital, or some police stations, or other qualified place, and never be seen, no questions asked, right?
@LevettRoblev1@NotRightNow82@grok@32nds@psvmjohn You have claimed to understand the distinct role of the Federal government, and yet you haven't been able to explain it a single time, despite my repeated asking.
All you give in the way of explanation of the Presidency is a screenshot from the Constitution Center’s website.
@LevettRoblev1@NotRightNow82@grok@32nds@psvmjohn The US is unique and has no clear analogue.
The reason I used the EU as an example instead of the UK is because while they are very different, I figured the Federal's limited responsibility is less disimilar to the EU than to the UK or others I could think of.
@LevettRoblev1@NotRightNow82@grok@32nds@psvmjohn Comparing two things is different from claiming they are comparable, the latter of which I never did.
I was merely saying that the US method of choosing its executive without a popular vote is not unique in the grand scheme of things. The UK, Italy, and others don't either.
@32nds@LevettRoblev1@NotRightNow82@grok@psvmjohn That's my point.
Because the responsibilities of the federal government are limited, and are closer to a strong federation than an individual state, the election method of the President should reflect that fact, rather than being left to a nationwide popular vote.
@LevettRoblev1@NotRightNow82@grok@32nds@psvmjohn Is the argument that election method scales directly with power? The more powerful, the more directly they should be elected? Which is why the president of a confederation's executive branch can be elected indirectly, but the president of a federation should be popular vote?
@LevettRoblev1@NotRightNow82@grok@32nds@psvmjohn To be honest, no. I'm only asking to see if y'all actually understand what you are talking about when you are making claims about what my President actually does, and I've seen no evidence that you do.
@LevettRoblev1@NotRightNow82@grok@32nds@psvmjohn First of all, I actually live in the US. You live in neither the US, nor the EU.
Second off, I am not great with reading 238 year old documents.
Maybe with your intellect, you could enlighten me in your own words, in a way my small American brain is capable of understanding.
