Who do you want to be the Democratic nominee in 2020?

Quote:If it did, do you think the Electoral College would continually ignore the popular, majority, vote and go against it?

I don't think you understand what the Electoral College is.  It is not a standing body.

https://www.archives.gov/federal-registe...about.html


Quote:Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate’s political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are.

Quote:After the presidential election, your governor prepares a “Certificate of Ascertainment” listing all of the candidates who ran for President in your state along with the names of their respective electors. The Certificate of Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential candidate in your state and shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the electors in December of the election year. Your state’s Certificates of Ascertainments are sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presidential election.


So the electoral college is made up of the various slates of "electors" who support the individual candidates.  Expecting WLB supporters to vote against the WLB is unrealistic.  First of all they have already demonstrated that they are as dumb as a bag of cunt hair by being WLB supporters to begin with.  Why would you suddenly expect them to come to their senses.  All you have to do is look at some of the trumptards we have around here to realize that these fucking people are hopeless.
