"Will the democrats embrace fascism or just let republicans be the only ones doing it?" :patrice: y'all gotta start thinking more than just one step ahead. Democrats have finally stopped playing the respectability politics so much but they are not going to start denying people voting power.
Why cause they're too good for that? Jesus. They're not trust me.

Will the Dems do some similar in blue states or just be complacent?
Be complacent and get excuses made for why every day we hear about Republicans finding innovative ways to manipulate the political system to get their goals accomplished while the Democrats sit on their thumbs and moral grandstand.

You always want to win fairly. You don't cheat to win elections. Anyone entertaining this instead of condemning can't be trusted imo.
What?!



Democrats aren't above cheating.

Where did I say anything about Democrats or Republicans? Anyone that's cheating in an election is wrong.

In some states this could almost make sense but Texas is not one of them.

254 counties and most of them have almost no one living there.

For example - Brewster County is almost 6,200 square miles with only 9,000 residents. The entire state of New Jersey is 8,700 square miles with 9 million residents.

In fact, out of 254 counties....211 of them have less than 100,000 residents. 92 counties have fewer than 10,000 people. Democrats cluster while Republicans hate people and live out in the boonies. There's no reason why you need an "electoral college" especially within a state. Only logic is the idea that candidates need to court all voters, not just big city donors. However that supposes that a city with 8,500 people deserves equal attention to Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio or El Paso.
That's why it makes perfect sense for Republicans. It would decrease the value of votes in the cities, aka the democrat strongholds like Dallas and Houson. Those who live out in the boonies, like you said, always vote Republican. So if they count locality winners instead of actual votes, that would mean, the winner of Loving County, Texas with a population of 94 people, would have equal voting power with the winner of Harris County, Texas, with a population of 4.2 million people. Even if they assigned more votes/electors to the larger counties, thats still gives small counties much more power, as its no longer 1 person, 1 vote. Democrats would never win.
