I am sore from cooking yesterday and , I know I say this all the time , worry about how bad things will be by the time I ' m ready to have these babies . Thanks heavens for Amazon as they have truly saved Christmas . No way I ' m taking this sore , pregnant body to the mall . <| sep |> Reread your post . It ' s not a need for affection mismatch . Once you ' ve done your duties for the day , you ' re the weird employee who wants to hang out after work . <| sep |> I ' m so embarrassed . Look at how funky he is ! <| sep |> No . all howls are terrible except lulu . <| sep |> OC that 8320 to 4 . 3 GHz instead of upgrading to a 50 . <| sep |> We have never changed the Bill of rightsThe electoral college isn ' t in the bill of rights . We have never changed the rules on electing . We most certainly have . In 1911 Congress was capped at 435 , putting an artificial cap on the number of electors large states could have , thus removing electoral power from them . Wyoming was never supposed to have 3 . 5 x the voting power of California , as California should have far more representation in Congress according to the original writing of article 2 . They should be allowed to leave if the setup is fundamentally changed . Good thing it ' s not a fundamental change . Popular vote gives all the power to a few states . The system we have now gives all the power to a few states ! Florida , Iowa , Ohio , and North Carolina are pretty much the only states that matter ! Popular vote absolutely does not give all the power to states , it gives it to people . Are you one of those people who thinks California is a hivemind ? 13 of their vote in this past election went to Trump , and I can guarantee you more conservatives stayed home because they feel like their vote doesn ' t matter due to the EC . The founding fathers intentionally ensured that wouldn ' t be , and is the only reason the colonies ever agreed to it . Most Americans want The electoral college abolished , because it ' s stupid . Nobody ' s gonna lose their shit trying to secede and it ' s absolutely asinine to suggest otherwise . They would NEVER have agreed to a popular vote . The founding fathers specifically made the constitution amendable because they realize that some things would need to change , and some of their ideas would turn out to be wrong . Time for a motherfucking history lesson , child The electoral college was originally created to avoid a bad popular vote , not any popular vote . The people could still vote for the president they wanted , and if the electors felt that was a good choice they ' d confirm it . Electors were never supposed to be bound to the votes of their state , they were supposed to vote for who they thought was the best . This way , if the population voted in someone horribly unqualified for office , the EC could step in and put a stop to it . However , over time individual states started making laws stating that electors must vote according to the popular vote of their home state . States are the ones who changed the original agreement . Because of this , electors could no longer vote their consciences , nor confirm the nationwide popular vote choice if it was a good one . Instead the EC vote became a meaningless formality , one that disenfranchises conservatives in California and progressives in Texas . The EC can no longer do the job it was created to do , and thus needs to be reformed or abolished .
