i expressed doubt about remembering the number right. he has the numbers in front of him that not only prove me right, but show that i am more right than i originally thought.

what is that saying again? something about "it is a shame that the wise are so full of doubt, while the stupid are so certain"

No one trusts you with numbers, finances, facts or wagers anyway.

"sure, the electoral college was formed by slaveholders who said that black people only counted as 3/5th of a white and had to vote however their owners pleased because they were merely property, but that's not racist in any way"

why be so lazy? summarize what it is about the article you posted which invalidates the racism inherent in the idea that black people are mere property who only count as 3/5th of a white.

wyomans' votes count 3 times more than californians' votes.

notice my correct use of apostrophes?

probably not, you're fucking retarded.

Yes, most people want their vote counted, and counted fairly. No one should have 3x the voting power of another citizen. The EC exists because of the 3/5 compromise.

No it doesn't. Article 2 Section 1.

And read the Thirteenth Amendment.

"The electoral college (itself) had nothing to do with slavery ... the discussions of the electoral college and the method of electing a president never occur in the context of any of the convention's two climactic debates over slavery."

the electoral college would not exist if the slaveowners who created it did not agree that black people only counted as 3/5th of a white and had to vote however their white slaver decided to.

walking out to the mailbox to pick up your disability check does not exactly count as "work" in the traditional sense of the word.

It was a concession to keep slave states producing food for the North.

What the fuck are you doing when stopped?

If you're not doing anything illegal give them their 5 min power trip, bullshit them about how you understand and appreciate the difficult work they do, etc.

Next time you get pulled over by that officer he won't even bother you.

Most cops do a "dickhead exam", your first reaction is crucial to establish you are not a dickhead.

I'm all for "exercising my rights" but that's a jump to extremes if you're not actually doing anything wrong.

I'm not talking about traffic stops, those are usually fine. I'm talking about skating empty parking lots, playing wall ball, or just walking around in a group at night. Sometimes we were doing shit we weren't supposed to, but most of the time it's just cops verbally and physically accosting us as their initial interaction.

And God forbid you were at a party that was being broken up. Cops around here use the "swing first, ask questions second" method. This was before everyone had a camera phone though.

I learned real quick to shut the fuck up, and say nothing.

If the Democrats want to make an efficacy or merit-based argument with respect to the Electoral College, then by all means make it. It ought to be based in history and fact not fanciful revisionist history, and it should be made not just during an election year because of discontent with the electoral outcome.

It's a meme, retard, its not support or an endorsement of whatever appears in it.

One person one vote isn't enough for you?

EC - Popular Vote disparancies historically only help Republicans...no wonder you support the gerrymandering horseshit logic for it.
