2013. Obama talks about how incredibly irresponsible it would be for Congress to shut down the government in order to blackmail a President into making concessions.
Be sure to pass this along to Democrats.
@DustinCzarny ugh. That argument is exactly backwards. Large slave owning states could have overwhelmed smaller free states without the EC. Knock it off.
@DustinCzarny I get it. But the Founding Fathers created this method of electing President's to that all of the states could have their voice's heard. I remember a time when Democrats valued things like that.
@DustinCzarny If we use 2016 as an example, the combined popular vote in 49 states said that Donald Trump should be President by over 1M votes. So did the EC. But CA said it should be Hillary. The EC is the only way for all of the states to have a voice in the process.
@DustinCzarny Clinton won the nat popular vote by about 3 million votes. She won CA by over 4 million. Trump won FL by 100,000. It is 100% objectively true that 1 or 2 blue states will decide all nat elections without the EC. It literally exists to prevent that from happening.
@DustinCzarny JFK's position on abortion, taxes, the economy, communism and the 2nd amendment would send todays democrats into the streets. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" would be a 'dog whistle to bigots' on MSNBC today.
@DustinCzarny Harris can't win if she loses PA. The fact that she didn't pick a Gov with a 60%+ approval rating there is unbelievable. The memes of Minn burning will write themselves
