What happened to the Democratic Party?

[theHawk]

You know
Those shots that Trump brags about rushing to the market

The shots Conservatives refused to take because they said they kill people

That’s right, we refused it. Dems we’re sure quick to jab themselves with “Trump’s shot” though.

Unlike you all, we can think for ourselves and we knew it couldn’t be trusted.

I know. Why small states have up to three times the voting power as larger states was a constitutional compromise they came up with, along with the great compromise and the 3/5ths compromise, to get 'er done.

And all in the name of preserving slavery.

not sure where you are getting they have "three times" the voting power.....whatever that means.

States have votes based on their population, the states with larger populations have more representatives

They voted for the president to use the military to go after 9-11 terrorists.

Bush/Cheney made up phony intelligence to tie Iraq with 9-11 terrorism. Remember Colin Powell at the United Nations.

What Powell called "bullshit". But was forced to present.

Bush Cheney did not make up phony intelligence. The CIA and intell community did.

You know, the same folks who say we need to support Ukraine and fight a proxy war against Russia.


Same people in charge, new lies. And gullible idiots like you keep believing them.

 

[theHawk]

I have often said, that Biden mandated the shots. But Biden didn't force anybody to get them.

You can look up the difference in the meaning of the two words, that can't be used interchangeably.

Republicans haven’t won the popular vote for President in 20 years

The Democratic Party is alive and well

A better question for the OP would be, what happened to the Republican Party?

The party that gave us Thomas E. Dewey, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Bill Miller and Hugh Scott has devolved in a cult of personality. The "Party of Personal Responsibility" refuses to responsibility for its actions.

The party of "Family Values", attacks the son of Governor Walz because he has learning disabilities.

The party that for yeas demanded that "The Government Had No Business In The Doctor's Office", wants to decide what medications a Woman can take and what medical procedure a Woman can undergo.

The party that nominated a Convicted Felon and an adjudicated Rapist.

The Republican Party is dead.

Which explains why people in red states are dying from COVID at a high rate, and the people in the blue states are not.

Remember when New York was doing really bad with COVID deaths, and Florida was doing good.

Well now Florida is doing so bad, they caught up and then surpassed New York in COVID causalities.

Because of their vaccination stance, the red states, have become the dead states.

But that's not how it works in the Electoral College.
Look it up. How many votes each state gets compared to its population.

Bush Cheney did not make up phony intelligence. The CIA and intell community did.

Look up:
Office of special plans
Curveball
Cheneys midnight ride to the CIA

sure it does, the number of votes are based on the number of representatives in Congress

 

[postman]

No, they created a system whereby the minority of the people would have their voices heard. The big states still have more EC votes than the small states, the disparity merely makes it a LITTLE more equal and forces the candidates to pay some attention to them. Rhode Island, for example, will never pick the president, but all the small states put together actually have a voice that the candidates can't ignore.

Is that like saying Florida will never pick the president?

And for candidates having to pay attention to certain states. Today it's the wishy-washy states, or what we call the swing states that are getting all the attention.

I'm not sure that's what they had in mind. Since a "swing" state can be as small as Rhode Island, or as big as Florida.

No, FL on it's own can't pick a President, there are 49 other states.

That's absolutely wrong

 

[postman]

Think of a "swing state" like the Vice President in the senate.

When they get to vote, they're the one who decides the fate of the bill.

When the two major parties are nearly equally split with all third parties pulling negligible numbers, that's going to happen. To the best of my knowledge, the FF's didn't like political parties very much, mostly because they were already extremely suspicious of any group attaining too much power.

 

[struth]

That's absolutely wrong

holy f batman, you are weird, try reading the US Constitution, and taking a basic civics class

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector. Art 2, Section 1 US Constituiton

 

[Skylar]

why? because she lost to Trump, who got more votes. Don't you understand how democracy works?

She didn't lose those delegates to Trump. It would be akin to Biden getting Trump's electoral votes because he beat Trump in the electoral college.

That's not how it works. Why then is the GOP so 'anti-democratic', that that's the way it works at your primaries? If Haley's voters had wanted their delegates to go to Trump, they would have voted for him.

Smiling....its the exact same process that was used in the nomination of Harris. If it was 'anti-democratic', it would have been 'anti-democratic' during the GOP convention.

It wasn't then either.

huh no it wouldn't. She lost to trump, he got more votes, it's really not complex, she lost, had no chance of getting enough votes to win the nomination, and resigned and told her supportes to vote for Trump.

 

[lafayette]

Yet, you did it to Biden and the 14,000,000 who voted for him. That shows a pattern that is undeniable now.

Trump once said “if they can do this to me, they can do it to you”.

Biden found out the hard way how true Trumps words were.

You are pissed you did not throw away Trump like the American people wanted.

 

[Skylar]

She didn't lose those delegates to Trump. Using your logic, Trump should have ceded his electoral votes to Biden?
