A third major political party?

And you never said a 12 year old can consent to sex either.

You just imply your horrible bullshit.

You're special kind of eerie peculiar, no wonder you're a pariah here.

You seem unable to offer any rebuttals to the topical things I say, preferring to steer the conversation to insults and suggestions of your 12 year old obsession.

There isn't much special about the way you do that, common debate loser tactics. So ordinary, so ineffective.

So I keep hearing from the disenfranchised that the two party system has let them down.

We have leftover 2016 Bernie Babies who continue to imply they won't vote Dem next year unless it's Bernie.

Yesterday on the Smerconish program, with Howard ShuItz as guest, polled viewers:

74% agreed.
26% (including myself) disagreed.

74% better be damn careful what they wish for.

If a third party can gain enough support to actually win states, then what?

In 1968, after MLK and RFK were shot (as well as after the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts were passed), former racist Democrat Gov. George Wallace of Alabama left the party and ran on his fake Law and Order Party. It was an obvious segregationist racist party that carried the south and 46 electoral votes. These states then went republican ever since.

Do you know what happens if a third party truly emerges and no candidate gets 270 electoral votes?

It goes to the house to decide. Each state delegation gets 1 (one) vote. 50 total votes. They will pick the POTUS.

The senate picks the VP.

Anybody think that's a good idea?

I have no problem with the two party system, except for the other party who elects racist jackasses for POTUS.

Thanks for voting for Trump you bunch of racist enabling wingnut fools. And why do the Democrats have to clean up the swamp again?
i don't have a problem with it...it makes exactly as much sense as the fucking nonsense electoral college bullshit we have now...WE don't elect a president, a room full of fucking politicians ignores the will of the people and installs who they want...don't fucking tell me i'm crazy, it fucking happened...
get rid of all the bullshit, ALL OF IT...if you want to elect a leader by popularity contest, then quit fucking tying to jigger the results, give us the most popular piece of shit....

We have a dozen people who can beat a racist.

Do you have any idea the negative ads we can run just showing Trump talking?

You can't win minorities, you can't win women, you can't win Jews, who you got left? 7% of your white support will die in the next 18 months.

You act like it's going to be easy. That's good. Keep thinking that.

Oh, and you're kind of feckless. Hiding in the background liking shit posts all the time. Loser.
that's the fucking problem....we have a dozen people...more...and like all politicians, they won't bow out until they're beaten into submission...so there will be NO united front, NO consolidated support...and no democratic president, if they aren't very damn careful.

I like your sentiment when you said, "most popular piece of shit". Truth is, it's often a defensive vote, cast so the even worse candidate from the voters perspective isn't elected.

If you take into account all the people that don't vote for various reasons and how close the elections often are, and the fact that "none of the above" isn't an option, it's easy to see that the "winning" vetted candidate isn't really all that popular.

Our representatives are all elected democratically
Do you really believe every vote that's cast is tallied accurately?

Anyway...

So if a person didn't vote for a particular "representative" that won an election, and that person didn't want to be represented by the winner, would it be safe to say that person isn't really being represented ? If not, could you explain how that person is being represented ?
