    Fortunately, Gaetz is rarely correct about anything.

        all that doesn’t matter if the Electoral College utterly fails succeeds at its ONE job yet again and picks the loser.

        FTFY

            The electoral college exists to subvert the popular vote whenever the choice of the rural minority is behind. It would have no reason to exist otherwise. It has no duty to “ignore” any outcome and nothing to do with the quality of leadership besides their ability to campaign to low density populations.

                The point I’m making is it literally has zero upsides.

                Then we’re literally making the same point. There is no reason to argue here.

                    That’s funny, I thought the same thing about you. I just didn’t feel the need to shit on you for it.

                    Is this the argument you wanted? Are we supposed to be getting something out of this?

        You’re missing the point. Their current polling for those places is also skewed.

      The Michigan GOP is out of cash. Michigan is very much a purple/battleground state.

      I really hope this is the death knell of the GOP. At this point, it needs to die. If our idiotic fucking political system was less focused on maintaining the two-party dynamic, that’d be great too, but at this point I’m just gonna call it a win if we can stop the Nazis from getting into office.

        Yah I thought we were ready for a Bernie Sanders but turns out what we actually need at the moment is a call to the fire department to put out the dumpster fire
