Subj : Electoral College Nonsense To : All From : Lee Lofaso Date : Sun Jan 12 2020 05:56 am Hello Everybody, Do you believe in the concept of "one man, one vote"? Apparently not the Framers of the Constution, who chose to come up with a sytem enabling owners to keep their slaves by enshrining an electoral college system as part of the US Constitution. Such was their Christian way of thinking, many if not all of them owning slaves themselves. But hey. Let's not impose our own morals on those who lived in the past. After all, we are much more civilized today, and know better than to treat our fellow brethren that way. Or do we? As a candidate, Donald J. Trump publicly stated he would prefer a president to be chosen by popular vote rather than by the electoral college system we currently use. Today he has changed his tune, claiming the electoral college system is the greatest thing since Mom and apple pie. But I digress. We all know why he does not wish to be judged by "we the people". After all, the last time he tried to run for office a "nasty woman" beat his sorry arse by almost three million votes. And he cannot bear the thought of losing to a woman a second time. As such, the electoral college system has got to stay. Right? Direct democracy is the "will of the people". Nobody can deny that. But there are still some small remnants of the population who continue to believe otherwise. Such as this particular self-proclaimed Christian - http://onesalt.com/p0000043.htm So. No matter how badly Donald J. Trump loses the popular vote this coming November will make no difference. He will remain lord and master over all of us, even if he only gets some 20 percent of the popular vote. Such is the will of Donald J. Trump. --Lee -- Erections, That's Our Game --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)
