    Electoral college is the right thing to do.  Without it, California and New York would dictate who is President everytime.

    You mean our population?

    The all or nothing nature of the electoral college, at the very least, is pretty stupid. Makes some votes completely worthless

    And a minority doesn't get to rule because they scream the loudest (and gerrymander the shit out of everything) (and do everything possible to suppress the vote)

    Again, we're governed by the constitution.

    The only people screaming are the lefty whackos.

    Eighty-one percent of Democrats, 56% of Republicans and 57% of independents favor supplying U.S. weapons to Ukraine, according to the latest poll.

    From a conservative think tank... 

    Preserves federalism.... "The system fairly represents the voters". But it doesn't. Many votes are worthless. 

    Encourages coalition building... "A president has to represent everyone". Again, he doesn't. A very red, rural state isn't going to get either candidate to care about it. Large cities are where people are. People vote. Not acres of land. And states / cities can have their own laws still.

    The last three are all basically the same point. If some many votes don't matter then there's no need to cheat, or recount, etc. Of course, that didn't stop Trump from challenging everything. Or conservatives from calling every election fraudulent. So clearly, if conservatives think the current system is full of fraud they can't turn around and say the current system prevents fraud....

    - a typical Steve post with a comment that has nothing to do with what he originally posted. Why? Because he was immediately proved wrong and wants to change the subject. 

    - opposing more aid isn't the same as "getting the hell out of Ukraine". You got this wrong.

    You made a post saying that America was gung ho to give every last nickel to ukraine. Not exactly but at least a lot more. I said they're not. I gave you a CNN article that said they weren't. And it wasn't from June or July.

    I'm just saying people are getting sick of it. If you and the rest of the Biden cult members don't agree then sign right up.

    No doubt public support for wasting money to protect those who launder your candidates money was stronger, thanks to the lies of the Democrat Party and the compromised left wing news media. As you keep reminding everyone things change. But feel free to send your own money. It's probably tax deductible in this era of bidenomics.

    Patience is a rare commodity in the United States. Few people supported the war in Vietnam till the bloody end.

  • I guess it depends who they polled. Those numbers don't mean crap.

    I'd believe the majority wouldn't give another dime either, especially if they were transparent about what the money was actually going to.

    Strange to hear from people that were panicky about Trump having keys to the nukes or him starting wars yet they have no problem with senile Biden poking Russia.

    Actually typical would be you changing the subject and then bitching about somebody else not referring directly to the original topic.

    Steve, you were wrong. That's it. 

    What you said in your original post was wrong, I provided a poll proving it wrong, and you provided a poll talking about something different that doesn't prove your original point correct. 

    I'm not sure why you aren't following along.

    Most Americans oppose Congress authorizing more funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia, according to an August CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

    Overall, 55% say the US Congress should not authorize additional funding to support Ukraine vs. 45% who say Congress should authorize such funding.

    No, General Woodpecker  I claim victory because I posted an article three or four months more recent than yours that proves that public support for your little war is waning.
