They clearly showed Norman getting in Dezs face first Dez kept backing up and Norman kept coming , what did you want him to do ? <| sep |> Nice ! I just picked up the Bamboos . <| sep |> No . The studio shut down . <| sep |> Ah ok thanks . <| sep |> helping lol My gelding helps me by picking everything up and moving it where I don ' t want it to be ! <| sep |> I don ' t care what people argue . People are stupid . I however , WOULD argue , as I am now , that complaining about the popular vote . Every fucking day . is a waste of effort . Like it or not I lean toward not , the Electoral College does serve a purpose . The circlejerk this sub has become likes to ignore that fact . One of the reasons why is because if we enacted a pure popular vote , then the midAmerican states would lose any say in choosing a policymaker candidate . There are , without a doubt , economic policies that benefithurt different states disproportionately . No ONE policy is going to blanket improve or damage the entire country , some states hurt , some grow . . Understanding that , a candidate who ' s policy benefits the high population zones costal states mostly could be devastating for middle America . People forget , the USA is NOT A PURE DEMOCRACY , it is a democratic republic of STATES , who elect a FEDRAL , president . Meaning , the popular vote of the states , chooses who that state ' s candidate of choice is . importantYou need to consider a state as an individual economygovernment , with a constitution with other member states for a presiding federal government . The United States is not like Russia , Spain , Germany or whatever , it is a collection of member states it ' s in our name lol . Not one allencompassing government . So , in regards to the EC , it is a nessisary function used to seperate an individual state and its needs , from the needs of the other 49 . Because people in Wisconsin , do not have the same intrests as someone from Washington .
