I thought about this possibility today

What would happen if the electors did that? Civil war?

>>67258076
seriously?

>>67257967
Yeah and SJW are going apeshit.

>>67258127
yes, what would happpen?

>>67258153
civil war, thats what they want

>>67258153
that would be about the only thing i think would cause a real civil war in this country, which is why it will never ever happen

>>67258076
>>67258153
Civil war probably.

The people who support Trump are the same people who vocally talk about over throwing tyrannical government, make up actual militias, own lots of guns.

It would not be pretty and nobody would want that. Which is why the loser has already conceded to the winner on the off chance that someone has that fucked up idea.

Nothing because burgers are extremely lethargic and apathetic, ridiculously huge controversies and corruption cases happen there all the time but no one ever does anything, even the whole Occupy shit was tiny and fizzled away.

>>67259810
For your consideration:

Say Trump won Nebraska or some shithole by a close margin, he gets all the electoral votes.

Now if Hilary wins Connecticut by a fucking landslide she still only gets that states electoral votes.

There are 50 mini elections in the larger election, you can win more of the elections while still losing the popular vote if you lose heavily in somewhere like Cali or New York that has a large population.

>>67259810
The idea is that smaller states have a weight disproportional to their population so they don't get forgotten and big capitals don't have an unfair advantage in elections.

>>67257967
We had a referendum for faggots marrying and adopting kids and commie and librul bastards shat on the majority because we went to vote unlike them. I sure hope the left gets fucked in the next election

>>67260847
Yeah, but it's not simply population centers bossing around rural municipalities. The states that are important are ones that flip every couple of elections

>>67260928
Browns and blacks chose to live on those areas. Also there are more women in big cities and states like everywhere else in the world.

>>67260481
Yeah like florida and ohio... hmm wait

>>67261096
> Also there are more women in big cities and states

Really? That seems quite odd, I'd think it'd be 50/50 almost everywhere except in weird areas like conflict zones.

Do you have any sources for that?

>>67258278
Does Trump even want that? After seeing a lot of the recent shots of him he doesn't seem too enthusiastic. Maybe he did run just for jokes and now the laughs are gone.

Found one, couldn't post a link. Women in cities is a good rule of thumb, since women are more prone to vanity and needless glamour

>>67261146
Because the only jobs in the middle of nowhere are things like cow fluffers, which men take, so women go to cities to find jobs

>>67261146
Same phenomenon here. Women don't take jobs requiring manual labor, which are overrepresentert in he countryside, and move to the city for studies and tertiary jobs. My sources are in Norwegian, but plentiful.

>>67261286
Apart from New York, which is quite an outlier indeed, it seems more like men preffering West coast cities and women prefering East coast cities other than anything else.

>>67261338
Must be shitty living alone in the countryside though?

We should drive for a more educated society for all genders.

None of this Bubba reckneck bullshit.

>>67261517
Maybe, there are examples in countries like Pakistan where cities have a larger amount of younger single men who come looking for jobs now that I think about it.

But then, those pink spots in Texan border cities start to seem weird.

We need feminism.

Hillary has such a godawful ugly face and smile, yet I still want to eat her juicy pussy while burying my face in her ass and thighs.

>>67261146
Women live in big cities because they cant find jobs in small towns since those jobs are manual labor or farmwork where they dont work in


Theres a male crisis in small towns because women are leaving.

>>67261800
One would think that this would be a bigger problem in europe, where the countries are much more urbanised.

Surely, with as decentralised country as USA is, non-labour jobs aren't all concentrated in the big cities?

>>67261478
Homos

>>67259810
Essentially a method similar to parliamentary decisions on head of state

>>67261800
It's not just that, as the other anon said city life is just more glamorous and thus more appealing to women than life in a small town

>>67257967
Nothing's gonna happen; and if by some miracle it does remember that us that want Trump are the same people that respect and live by the 2nd amendment.

Why would a Republican president want council from a Democratic president on the way out? Wouldn't he know this might angry his supporters?

>>67262600
Every president elect meets the previous president to discuss the transition. This is not new, and he is not asking for advice.

>>67262433
I guess it comes down to semantics what constitutes "big cities" and "small towns" really.

I thought USA wasn't that urbanised, but the data says it's 80%.

And then you look at the towns and cities and see that for example the 200th largest town in USA is about 130k, which is hardly a small rural town and probably has loads of non-manual jobs.

And looking at that map >>67261286...

I think that besides the New York-Washington conglomeration, the differences between genders are rather small and it's just that finman's meme.

I mean, if you eye it, the fraction is 1.5% for Washington.

He's talking out of his ass. The only issue we have with proportionate representation is that parties with less than 4% won't get a single seat in the Riksdag. This means that some parties might get an extra seat they wouldn't have had otherwise.

>>67261542

Well it is stupid. One of the pillars of the foundation of modern democracy is that everyone gets one vote that is treated equally whatever employment, education or place of residence you might posess.

Suddenly your vote is worth more if you live in a low-pop state.
Since I assume you haven't gotten to vote in any other system, you're used to your way, but it looks ethically stupid to many from outside.

Except that the people aren't the ones who choose the president, the states do. It's intended to protect the states from federal encroachment so we don't get fucked up situations like the feds owning 90% of the land in Nevada

>>67264557
Not quite, there was significant amendment in 1804 so that the President and Vice-President had to be clearly differentiated.

>>67264839
This, as well as the third parties' support being evaporated and states not having uniform suffrage standards, is partially why it's a bad idea to get rid of the Electoral College, at least if we replace it with a direct popular vote.

The main reason the Founding Fathers instituted the College in the first place was however with the expectation that each State would send its best men as electors to vote for the President, mainly to prevent the average American from voting ironically enough a potential destablizer such as Trump.

>>67265080
The reason the 12th amendment (the one we're talking about) was passed was the Election of 1800, which was as follows:
>The election exposed one of the flaws in the original Constitution of the United States. Members of the Electoral College were authorized by the original Constitution to vote for two names for President. (The two-vote ballot was created in order to try to maximize the possibility that one candidate received votes from a majority of the electors nationwide; the drafters of the Constitution had not anticipated the rise of organized political parties, which made it much easier to attain a nationwide majority.) The candidate with the most electoral votes would become President and the candidate with the second most would become Vice President. The Democratic-Republicans had planned for one of the electors to abstain from casting his second vote for Aaron Burr, which would have led to Jefferson receiving one electoral vote more than Burr, making Jefferson President and Burr Vice President. The plan, however, was mishandled. Each elector who voted for Jefferson also voted for Burr, resulting in a tied electoral vote. The election was then put into the hands of the outgoing House of Representatives, which, after 35 votes in which neither Jefferson nor Burr obtained a majority, elected Jefferson on the 36th ballot.


In any case I agree with you on the 17th amendment. We're not supposed to be a democracy. We are a republic, a difference that is subtle but oh so important.

>>67264557
Yes, it should be changed in some way imo, and no I did not support Hillary I just think it should be changed regardless. I don't think we should go direct democracy as then it would just fuck low population density people but maybe some compromise like having a Canada-like system with the alternative vote system, where if who you voted for loses and there was no majority your vote goes to who you rated as your 2nd choice and so on.

>>67264661
It is probably the complete opposite of gerrymandering, it is literally straight up squares. The only state that is probably even remotely gerrymandered is West Virginia, and that is due to the events that created it.

>>67265266

>>67265482
No.

>>67265677
That sucks. I guess it would be different if he was politically active

>>67265482
I know I answered his question that the electoral college is pretty much unchanged beyond the amount of ECV's per state. That part was what I want for the US, I think that that and Americanized version of Canada's (for example they are Reps rather than MPs and they elect the head of state rather than PM) as well as having alternative vote over FPTP. There would have to be massive district redrawing with no gerrymandering (non partisan committee) and there might have to be a way to incorporate state's rights into it to make the small states and swing states into it.

>>67265778
>the reps elect the head of state
That would mean that the high pop states would elect the head of state every time

>At the beginning of 1888, the Democrats under presidentGrover Clevelandproposed that the four territories ofMontana,New Mexico, Dakota andWashingtonshould be admitted together. The first two were expected to vote Democratic and the latter two were expected to vote Republican so this was seen as a compromise acceptable to both parties. However, the Republicans won majorities in Congress and the Senate later that year. To head off the possibility that Congress might only admit Republican territories to statehood, the Democrats agreed to a less favorable deal in which Dakota was divided in two and New Mexico was left out altogether.

Women move to cities because it offers them more sexual selection. That's literally it.

It's also why they vote for more immigration.

Your union needs to die, it's too big and unrepresentative. I'm not surprised California are going to vote on independence, and I wouldn't be surprised if before 2025 the entire west coast has seceded

>>67267750
Mind reminding me how things went the last time a group of countries tried to secede?

Don't really care about what the niggers of Europe have to say about my country if I'm being honest

civil war 2: electric boogaloo
it's technically legal but it's never happened before and nobody want it to start any time soon

>>67267750
Lol, California can secede if they want.

They'll try to instate Communism and then realize all the farmers that they've been shunning politically all these years moved away for better prospects a long time ago.

Maybe they'll survive on tourism, and all the LAliens can ratchet that crime rating even higher stealing from the tourists.

>women, who primarily work in the service sector, are only leaving my small town in the middle of nowhere with its no doubt thriving service sector because they want to find more dudes to sleep with instead of me
>they also vote pro-immigration, even after marriage, because we all know what every American woman wants is a strong virile manlet Mexican

They'll likely survive off their massive amounts of natural resources, huge service economy and ridiculously high value of cultural exports. If not they can always export their shit wine to the rest of the country since the rest of yous can't make it for shit
>>67267852

Post lots of memes about it and make it a reality

>>67267974
>le 60% face
Doesn't change the fact that no one is going to take policy prescriptions from a country that can't keep its unemployment rate below 20%

>>67267974
Can you survive off of a service economy?

I thought a country had to produce actual physical capital to get anywhere.

No idea why Californian wine is considered an export. I've had it and it's mediocre at best.

>>67264763
If there was no EC, politicians would completely ignore the countryside and the flyover states, and focus only on big urban areas. Commiefornia would literally get half of the total campaign time.

EC makes sure every state, and local population, has a say.

Why are Anglos so shit at democracy?
>UKIP gets 12% of votes, gets 1 seat out of 650

I agree that the British FPTP system is retarded, but the election system makes perfect sense. Sure, Clinton got a few more votes, but Trump's popularity is WAY more spread out across the country than is Clinton's.

They're missing one in particular

But she already conceded.

>>67268444
Do you understand the terrible implications that can come up with popular vote? The US is very split geographical and demographically, this election in particular you have the vast majority of people in major cities voting Hillary while rural areas and everywhere else voted Trump. Urban areas have the largest concentration of people, but don't represent the country as a whole, quite the opposite they can often be isolated bubbles of politics that don't influence their surrounding areas. (See the maps of voting by county and look at all the blue counties completely surrounded by red) There has to be some compromise to prevent the country from turning into some clusterfuck where 5% of the land imposes its will on 95% of the land. Just look at New York, NYC enacts laws made specifically for NYC that fuck over the rest of the state because there is such a huge difference in governing a city like that than governing a typical county.

Of course, since that worked so well last time.

he's gonna stay tired. no president has ever enjoyed being president. it's why they all look like they age 10 years in only 4

>>67269767
Actually only after WW2, did US Presidents start getting affected by Old Age.

The Founding Fathers don't count. They didn't have health care and the only reason George Washington never smiled was because his teeth were literally fucked hard so yeah.

>>67257967
>muh popular vote
kek, get fucked. no use crying about that now. should have changed that retarded voting system of theirs a long time ago.

Why do I get a feeling that the white voters who elected Trump will be the ones responsible for low approval rates?

>>67269865
What if Trump does that?

>>67259810
its a checks and balances system to spread out the power among states. If it wasnt this way literally all of our politics would be decided by heavily populated states

>>67269903
does what? change it? as I said, that should have been done a long time ago

>>67269903
That's not even remotely how it works.

>>67269903
>The President having anything to do with Constitutional Amendments
Come on, that's Elementary School Civics-tier

This
>>67269937

and I think it makes campaigning more of a chess match and less of wrestling match (it's already bad enough).

>>67269937
This. Same with why the Senate is 2 to a state regardless of population.

They choose from the 3 candidates with the most electoral votes

>>67270089
That would (might, really) work once, but destroy the GOP forever.
I say give it a shot.

I thought faithless electors were prohibited by law in most States.

>>67270089
their only other choices would be hillary or mcmullin. the former has more qualifications but is unanimously hated among the right, while the latter is a right-leaning literal who

here's the states with laws against faithless electors (fines and shit). Last time we had a faithless elector was in 2004 when someone mixed John Kerry's name with his vice presidential nominee

>>67269992
>>67269973
What if Trump says he's changing it and bringing in his supporters in the military to force it?

This has happened before in world history. We have liberals protesting. Just imagine if liberals had guns.

>>67270352
>fines
Oh no, not that.

>>67270352
>fines and shit
Do they at least have a big fine, or render the ballot invalid?

>>67270381
Then that's not legitimate and would be highly unconstitutional. I don't believe for a second Trump would descend into that level of flagrant disrespect of the Constitution.

>>67270386
>>67270421
Michigan and Minnesota declare the electors vote void if it doesn't match what people voted. However in the 155 times its happened, the laws were never enforced

>>67270421
He said he'd commit war crimes by targeting terrorist's families. It won't surprise me if he got his military supporters and declared himself a king.

>>67270509
>declared himself a king
You want to see how fast the "don't tread on me" crowd turns on a Republican? Attempt to return the country to a monarchy.

>>67270381
What if Trump declares himself Mr. Universe and decides to gas every retard who didn't pay attention in middle school social studies?

This has happened before. Just imagine, you and everybody in your idiot bubble would die.

Hilary could have won florida and still lost.
Our current system allows other states to be relevant and to matter.

If we had a European system places like New Hampshire would not matter whatsoever. California alone has about 10% of the population.
