Reply to comment by HaElfParagon in There is no compromise with election deniers. And that’s the problem. by Sinman1982

So because she won the popular vote, the EC is a sham?? Dems carried on for months about abolishing the electoral college, something that has elected every president outside of assassinations. .

Yes, that's why it's a sham. In an actual democratic system, the most votes wins.

Yes, that's because it's a terrible idea that only serves a very vocal minority. None of them are saying "Let's storm the Capitol, execute the people we don't like, and then get rid of the EC.". That's just Republicans.

Oh well, guess women and black people can't vote. Oh wait, they can, because you can change things that sucked in the original. Like the Electoral College and allowing political parties to exist.

Yes, that's literally what I said. If you actually knew anything about the Constitution, you would've already known that.

The electoral college is a sham because it allows the president to be chosen by a small number of "elites" instead of the people, which is what should exist. Now, of course that's a matter of opinion. But to pretend Hillary tried staging an insurrection by bitching about the electoral college is intellectually dishonest.

It’s not dishonest. All I heard for a year was how she won the popular vote, and how she should be president.

That you are literally trying to equate an armed raid on the Capitol incited by the loser of the election with the express intent of disrupting a constitutionally mandated process (and harm elected officials) with someone being vocal about a corrupt and inequitable system if voting is fucking mind blowing.

Where can i get whatever the fuck you are smoking.

So is 9/11. So is the Holocaust. Should we act like they weren't significant events in history because they're "done and over with"?

It doesn't need to be close. They are all significant in their own ways.

Jfc I am wasting my time and energy with you, little fucking pandemic-denying, anti-science MAGAt-fueled pissant.

You're right, at least with 9/11 the organizer got what he had coming to him. Trump is unfortunately still walking a free man.

To execute the vice president and violently force a despot to maintain power.

Finished that for you.

Right, all you heard for a year was bitching. Did anyone attempt an insurrection? No, only republicans have done so.

You've been really drinking the fox coolaid huh?

You realize they set up gallows specifically to publicly execute the vice president, right? just because they were horrifyingly incompetent doesn't mean they weren't trying to overthrow the government.
