>It was a polite way of saying he is an idiot. Source - citing Wikipedia 🙄

Wikipedia is a conduit to cite other sources.

They must not have encyclopedias in Delco...

No, current Democrat voter.

Clearly the latter.

>If you think the people are smiling at you because they love their jobs, you are exactly the kind of easy-to-fool customer they are looking for.

Sounds like you are a miserable person that hates their job and life.

In the past, I've know people that have worked at Chick-fil-a, and they've very much enjoyed their time serving the customers and learning valuable skills. Employees get flexible hours (closed Sundays), competitive pay and 401k benefits, health insurance, vacation pay, developmental training, etc. It's a good job depending on the stage in your life.

Damn. Cope harder I guess.

Chick-fil-a is great and delicious.

There is a reason why lines at most Chick-fil-A's are out the door, and comparatively, why Sheetz is regarded as a dirty gas station.

It doesn't cost anything to be kind to someone.

How do you know he will come out stronger? Are you a doctor or just a wishful thinker? Sounds like the latter.

Are you a doctor?

...at being Fetterman's 24/7 caregiver.

Lol. You people make me laugh.

"A seeker of wisdom and truth" Now that's a low bar.

🤣

No one was prevented from voting. Read the article.

>How delusional you are. I argue that you didn't read the article because you're unaware that voter curing is insidiously bad faith and it's stealing people's votes.

No, this is false. Every state has some sort of ballot curing process and Pennsylvania is no different.

>GOP made these rules after the 2020 election because they have a majority in the legislature,

That is correct. That's how government works.

>and they rely on dirty tricks to win. It was a literal fixing for them to steal people's votes.

No, that is your unfounded opinion. Also, look up the definition of "literal."

>Voter caging and voter curing is something that the GOP does to win elections. They can't win fairly.

That allegation is as belligerent as saying that Democrats want open borders to secure future voters.

>How anti-democracy of you to defer to the hastily written rules as fair. Par of the course for the GOP.

I laugh at this point. These rules were put in place by the legislature, who were elected into office by the people. There is nothing anti-democratic about Pennsylvania's rules. If you don't like it, vote and demand change.

Yes. These mistakes were made by the voters. No one stole anyone's vote.

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.

These are mistakes made by Democrats. Own it.

Our executive branch is (D), and presently Congress is majority (D). Arguing that we have "minority rule" would be like conservatives using that as an excuse when Trump was POTUS and Republicans had a majority in Congress, and yet Democrats were able to stand firm on their commitments to their voter base with a few bills that never passed.

It ebbs and flows throughout history. Always have and always will.

Translation - No tyranny by majority; the majority cannot unilaterally create and promulgate law without considering the interests of the minority.

Yes, that is what you said. I copy and pasted your text.

I'll reiterate what I said:

The present system does not minimize the will of the majority. The present system actually protects minority interests.

I read the literature. It doesnt clarify any of the side effects of eliminating the Electoral College, probably because Common Cause is a left-wing organization packed with partisan shills.

>The present system minimizes the will of the majority and it is time to reconsider how the populace is represented.

The present system actually does the opposite and protects minority interests.

​

>Said with complete confidence, about a society that was >95% rural and farming-based when the electoral college was formed.

Yes, said with confidence because it is true. Regardless of our country's composition in the late 1700's, present day, our country is largely concentrated in a handful of cities. Your rebuttal is like arguing to maintain a max limit of 50 states because our country started with 13 colonies.

>Also ignores that the EC was originally intended to be proportional, which fundamentally altered how it functioned.

The Electoral College was created during a tumultuous time in our nation's history. There isn't one reason or intent as to why the Founders adopted the Electoral College. Did you know that Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers that he and the Founders shared a collective opinion that state viewpoints were actually more important than political minority viewpoints, and that individual state populations were more important than the opinion of the national population taken as a whole? Believe it.

And as you probably know, Mr. History Buff, in those same Papers, Hamilton wrote that he feared of a tyrant being able to manipulate public opinion and rise to power, so I find it entirely ironic that OP said, "...if we act now we won't be under another authoritarian threat in the near future." Made me laugh out loud.

>Crazy how little certain people understand anything at all about US history.

I'm well aware of my history, but thanks for your concern.

The Electoral College is in place to force presidential candidates to broad their appeal to different parts of the country and not just rack up votes in one region or a handful of cities, which would inevitably lead to polarization. No other advanced form of democracy has a popular vote without some form of mediating process designed to filter out those unqualified. Not to mention, a simple recount would suddenly become a national recount, and represent a logistical nightmare of having to verify every cast ballot.

Our electoral process is far from perfect, but a national popular vote is not the solution.

"Wildly unpopular" on a PA subreddit.

Damn dude, you're right. This sub is entirely representative of the state.

>Like I said before.. you’re still just looking for that win.

Win what? Have you seriously never been criticized before for your actions? This is the real world.

>Here ya go buddy, a participation medal 🏅 you did great, don’t let anyone tell you differently

Those are for liberals. I'm sure you have plenty.

>Edit: I do understand that you need to go into someone’s profile to see the info you’re spouting about. I guess I really did get under yer skin there cowboy!

At this point, you've dug such a deep hole that I'm willing to see how far you're willing to go. Leave you neighbors alone, bigot.
