Trump's Post Election Fallout: Legal & Obstruction actions

1) I never said the EC was bad. This was your interpretation. The EC has strengths and weaknesses.

2) I also never said we should do it the way other countries do. I offered a perspective on how other countries have done it and you interpreted it as me saying I want to do it that way.

And again, you're trying to distract from the point by shaking a shiny toy in the other hand. As you mentioned, we have three equal branches of government. Yet, in a discussion about the process for electing the leader of the Executive Branch, you're continually trying to bring up questions about the other two. It's not germane or necessary in a conversation about the EB. In theory, one could make changes to how the president is elected without touching the process for the other two branches.

In theory, getting rid of the EC is because some people believe one person one vote for President.  If not majority rule in that vote, they feel other voters have outsized influence.  
 

If that is the line of thinking, then why wouldn’t we get rid of the Senate?  Because That same line of thinking would dictate 2 Senators from RI give those citizens by population proportion more power than 2 CA Senators by their population proportion. 
 

obviously I say keep the status quo because the design protects all people from self destructing an entire system of government.  As evidence by today, this system can withstand an awful lot of nonsense.

I think Trump should be charged with sedition based on his speech and tweets for what happened today. The law supports it.

I'm still waiting for the evidence that President Trump told anyone to storm the Capitol.  Of course it doesn't help that Silicon Valley destroyed evidence and the MSM won't just show the tweets.

Hah! That was exactly my thought. "Frustrated at what?"

So imagine being White in a country that systemically discriminates against minorities and being so completely out of touch with reality that your everyday frustrations compel you to storm the Capitol Building in DC, and you see nothing wrong with that.

Imagine being that frustrated, x10, but also being an American minority, so when you get to the point where you want to express that frustration, you're gonna get shot.

Hell, you're likely to get the cops called on you just peacefully walking down the street. 

And these are the asshats that coined the term "snowflake" because "the left" is so tender and cries about everything.

My problem is the paranoid style of the political right in this country. It is something political scientists identified back in the 1950s and has been slowly used to motivate voters such as yourself. That brand of politics culminated into what we saw when yesterday. People have seen this coming for decades but we have to give your side a false equivalency like its an equal alternative choice. It isn't. 

So don't take it personally, you're just a typical radicalized person on the right. And it's infuriating when this country faces actual problems your side is incapable  of - or refuses to - acknowledge.

I had an exchange on Facebook with my wife’s sister-in-law, and her response was “we don’t know that these people were Trump supporters”.  That’s when I just said I can’t help you with that and I deleted Facebook from my phone. In her mind, if they aren’t black or Muslim or easily identifiable as someone “different from her” then she can’t find someone to blame.
