People are so brainwashed by media and anti black family narratives that they equate not giving the federal backing for killing a fetus to all sorts of crazy shyt like slavery coming back. Womens rights being violated etc etc. When in reality being irresponsible is not a right that should be protected by the fed gov.

Nah breh, it's about precedent. Republicans have had a hard on for overturning Roe v. Wade for literal generations. It's not hard to come to the conclusion that they've figured out that now's the time to check off all the shyt on their fukkery wishlist. And judging from the sheer volume of both overt and subtle racist shyt they do and say, it's really not all that crazy to wonder where they actually draw the line on this shyt.

nikkas really let a tv host pick 3 Supreme Court judges
Hillary won the popular vote this has nothing to do with black people.:mjpls:
So, you can win the most populated states and still not be a winner? Really?


Ok. Let’s try this again. Hillary carried states with some of the highest populations, like California and New York, while Trump won in places with smaller populations, as in most of the country between Montana and Florida. Those smaller states’ electoral votes added up and that’s why Trump won.


Does this happen often?


It seems to be happening more frequently these past few elections. This is the second time in the last five presidential elections that it has happened. Probably the most famous instance in recent times was Al Gore’s loss to George W Bush in 2000. Before that, it happened in 1888, 1876 and 1824.


Shouldn’t the candidate with the most votes get the spoils?


Again, the Electoral College is enshrined in the founding documents of the Republic and changing the U.S. Constitution can be incredibly hard, especially in these divided times. It can be done either by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate through a joint resolution, or by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. No amendment has ever been passed using the convention method.


The United States Constitution has been such an enduring document precisely because it is so hard to change, and that’s why the Electoral College will probably be around for the foreseeable future.


Strangely enough, the president does not have any constitutional role in the amendment process and an amendment can go through without his signature or approval.


So every so often, members of the losing team will cry foul and ask for a revamp of the Electoral College system, but the movement almost always fades and nothing gets done. Paradoxically, people who ask for the change become unusually quiet when their side wins and it’s the other guys who are complaining.
