No thats why its funny . Jades is all like Rupauls Drag Race Season 5 ! !!!! Aand then i saw this one and i had a little chuckle . <| sep |> They didn ' t want it , but the government backed them and said if you do fail you won ' t face much loss which created incentives to give out much riskier loans and thus the 08 financial crash <| sep |> Wenn man manchmal sieht , wie manche Produkte verpackt sind , ist das kein Wunder . <| sep |> You look like that smelly neighborhood kid that was a little bit fucked in the head and would do headspins on concrete . <| sep |> She ' s not fat . YET ! ! Hehe <| sep |> Is this just a prank , bruh ? Being ironic ? Trolling ? Or are you actually asking ? <| sep |> You make a lot of good points . Small states almost never make the difference . I saw on Twitter someone made a map that showed that if Clinton had won all the states with 5 or fewer ECs , she still would have lost 276 to 262 . I didn ' t have time a couple days ago to write more , but the basic issue here is pure democracy or not . The US was not designed to be a pure democracy , but to be a federal republic where states have a lot of rights that are not based purely on population . In this instance , states have a base level of representation in the EC because they are states . In the same way that each state decides for itself how to conduct elections and proportion EC . The suggestion to change to pure democracy for the purposes of the presidential election , can be summarized as , Throw out the constitutional construction of our federal republic . It is not going to happen , as it would cause a massive constitutional crisis . Small states would say , with right , Hey , that is not what we signed up for . Regarding your last point , I have no problem with discussing slavery . It actually brings up a good point . If the theoretical change were made to go to pure democracy for the presidential election , I am 100 % sure there would be a slew of new state voting requirements as conditions for change . For example , ND would require temp fracking workers to change their voting residence to ND for at least one election cycle as a condition of employment in the state . The point being that small states would not take such a loss of power lying down . I look at 2016 as well as 2000 and say , if Clinton or Gore had been a better candidate , the EC would be irrelevant , as it usually is . Note that I voted for Gore and not for Clinton , and I think in both cases the blame the EC rhetoric is as hollow as the blame 3 rd parties rhetoric .
