This is so corrupt. They want to apportion electoral votes by district. not by popular vote, or keep the winner take call, but by state-legislator gerrymandered districts.

^ WOW....THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD ABOUT A STATE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT!















http://archive.fairvote.org/e_college/me_ne.htm

Quote :
"Maine and Nebraska both use an alternative method of distributing their electoral votes, called the Congressional District Method. Currently, these two states are the only two in the union that diverge from the traditional winner-take-all method of electoral vote allocation.

With the district method, a state divides itself into a number of districts, allocating one of its state-wide electoral votes to each district. The winner of each district is awarded that district’s electoral vote, and the winner of the state-wide vote is then awarded the state’s remaining two electoral votes.

This method has been used in Maine since 1972 and Nebraska since 1996, though since both states have adopted this modification, the statewide winners have consistently swept all of the state’s districts as well. Consequently, neither state has ever split its electoral votes.

Although this method still fails to reach the full ideal of one-man one-vote, it has been proposed as a nationwide reform for the way in which Electoral votes are distributed."

Low energy post Moron. How is immigration reform anti-immigrant? Surely preventing dangerous immigrants from entering America will benefit all Americans and future immigrants? I guess you're just another leftist hack that values virtue signaling over the safety of his fellow citizens. They're chopping off heads! Sad!

Attacking the messenger and refusing to actually process the information. Sure, it's a leftist site. But do you think they made up that conversation? Do you think anything reported from a leftist site should automatically be dismissed as "fake news", as you called CNN earlier?

Did you ever give an answer as to what sites are reliable? Where should people get reliable information from?

I'm not talking about pointing out bias, because it is clearly biased, don't think you'd get any argument about that.

I'm talking about seeing though the bias, and pointing out actual "facts" in the stories that are "fake".

It is semantics. Like most leftist websites perused by low-IQ cabbage types, there won't be any empirical statements or actual hard facts.

Quote :

Maybe. I think an opinion would be "Steve Bannon is a jerk" where you use an vague adjective that can't be demonstrably proven false.

"White Supremacist" is a well defined ideology, and is a much more specific accusation that can be proven or disproven based on the definitions and evidence.

No, but I do admit to getting triggered by your willful stupidity. I don't give a shit what you think of the SOURCE--as I previously stated that was incidental; I am not a subscriber in any way to that website.

You just use your attack on the source to dismiss the REALITY of the content. Your dismissal was wrong, and you're trying to bullshit your way out of that embarrassment.

Now fuck off; the fact that you can't debate with integrity and try to bullshit your way through all of your mistakes makes you a fucking propagandist hack.

I do not endorse the website. I do stand by the Sean Duffy story. Comment on the latter or shut the fuck up you fucking retard.

As you posted elsewhere earlier, paraphrased: You attack the source because you have no legitimate argument regarding the content, you fucking hack troll.

And, importantly, you dismiss the content BECAUSE THE CONTENT PROVIDES AN EXAMPLE OF THE LATENT RACIST TENDENCIES IN SOME POCKETS OF THE MODERN GOP.

I just watched the content... you took a poorly-spoken man's sentence completely out of context to try and suggest he is racist.

And for some reason you think this is worth sharing? I guess for the same reason you think reading addictinginfo.org is a good idea?

I can understand that shitty website spreading the clickbait headline for profit, they have a financial incentive and no credibility to lose.

The context was comparing the severity of the Quebec and Charleston shootings to ISIS related shootings.

The question was "How about the Charleston shooting... that doesn't matter"?

"No it does matter. It does matter. Look at the good things that came from it: Nikki Haley took down the confederate flag, that was great..."

You'll notice the interviewer understood what Duffy meant. While it was an awkward statement, anyone understanding the context understood he was referring to the reaction as "good" to imply that it mattered to the American people.

^Misrepresentation, as usual. Where in the video is "severity" mentioned? It seems as though the real context is Trump's "under-reported" (LOL) terrorist event list, which can be found here:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/07/full-list-of-trump-under-reported-terror-attacks-and-how-they-were-reported

Quebec City is not listed. Charleston is not listed. Why not? That is at least part of the context. And severity is clearly not the determining criterion; here are a couple that would be disqualified, yet they are included in the list:

NEW YORK CITY, NY, USA October, 2014
TARGET: Two police officers wounded in knife attack
ATTACKER: US person
Donald Trump's first 100 days as president – daily updates
Read more

This is vague but seems to refer to Zale Thompson, also known as Zaim Farouq Abdul-Malik, described as a “self-radicalised” Muslim convert. He was killed by police.

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA November, 2014
TARGET: One Danish citizen wounded in shooting
ATTACKERS: Three Saudi Arabia-based ISIL members

Given that context, it seems even MORE racist to me. Why does Trump's list ignore terrorist attacks committed by whites?

Quote :
"“Look at the good things that came from it. [Then-South Carolina Gov.] Nikki Haley took down the Confederate flag. That was great. But … there’s no constant thread that goes through these attacks.”

Of course there is.

“Domestic right-wing terrorist groups often adhere to the principles of racial supremacy and embrace antigovernment, antiregulatory beliefs.” So said Dale L. Watson, then the executive assistant director of the Counterterrorism/Counterintelligence Division of the FBI, in Senate testimony way back in 2002.

Duffy is wrong about pretty much everything else, too. No white extremist groups fomenting terror? What do you call the Aryan Nations and the Ku Klux Klan? The Southern Poverty Law Center has tied one group, Stormfront, to acts of murder and terror that have killed nearly 100 people.

As for Duffy’s belief that white extremist terror is somehow rare, well, the 1996 bombing of the Atlanta Olympics, the 1999 attack on a Jewish community center near Los Angeles, the 2000 killing of five people in greater Pittsburgh to protest “non-white immigration,” the 2009 murders of three Pittsburgh police officers to oppose a supposed national gun ban, the 2012 murder of six people at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin., and the 2015 killing of three at a Planned Parenthood office in Colorado Springs, (to name a few), argue otherwise.

Go further back and there is the 1963 bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham that killed four little girls. Go beyond these shores and there is the 2011 attack in Norway in which 77 people died."
