The reason for the electoral college is because the US is not a true democracy, but a union of states. State identity is very unique to the US compared to other countries. This is coming from a South African in Australia who has never been to the States, so it is all academic knowledge hehehe. Another great video, Mr Boyd
I keep trying to argue people should be looking at each state as a country. Any other place on earth would call them just that. The federal government is much more akin to the EU. In fact, the EU is a big threat to the US, companies are much more easily able to hurt their rivals in that environment, and we have interests that want to make the US like that as well.
The Electoral College exists because the United States is a Constitutional Republic. She is putting it badly, but the left and right need to return to a place where we could sit down and discuss ideas from our point of view. When we did that, we all ended up as better people. Our understanding of issues was more balanced.
Democrats where for the continually keeping government closed for the 19. It was dependent on the governors, and Biden encouraged them to stay closed. And the government is still spending at the 19 levels.
I agree the Electoral College isn't a perfect answer, but I don't think the popular vote is either. Maybe we should start discussing what would make a better system? Maybe the Electoral votes could be divided by delegate. So whomever wins the state would get the 2 points from the senators, but each congressional district would would get to allocate it's point independent of the rest of the state? Of course that's more likely to have the house overly likely to lean in favor of the elected president. Some pros & cons to that for sure.
electoral college is the best cuz each state is different and population just doesent matter much cuz cali tecas ny fl would decide everything the problem i have is the census bureau admitting they messed up the census and gave the dems around 10 extra votes that should go to texas and another smaller state i forget thats worrying trump should be winning by more but hes not cuz alaska texas is getting less votes its a 10 vote swing electoral college wise and they admitted they messed up which is triggering if u know why not fiz it
the downfall during the 19 was mostly due to the measures that were taken... and guess which side was pushing for not only for harsher methods, but also to keep the measures in place for as long as possible?
I just need to know would getting rid of the electoral college end up favoring one side more then another when it comes to votes. I mean it would be fair if the vote number is what wins, but if one party has way less voters, then we may fall into an issue of being stuck with one party that pretty much always wins. Then what would be the point of democracy if one party pretty much always can win due to numbers. Granted eventually I feel the republican party will be smaller and smaller until they will lose anyways. Then I imagine it would just be a battle of various other parties fighting it out instead. Leaving republican values gone forever.
seasonal jobs like farm work is more suited for young people, like students. should not really be done by adults. parents need to start pushing their kids to do jobs like that during the school vacations, even if they have enough money.
I think Tariffs are not going to be for food products so it will be same amount us now if not less, because change of Ukraine being able to go back to be bread basket of the world could decrese food prices all around the world.
I have to disagree w you for once. Printing money I dont think happened due totaking over after 19. It was over spending and needed extra money for ukraine. I would wreck my budget if I overspent on non necessity. You get what I am saying. Also shutting down the drilling didnt help either. I do agree w end. I dont think I would give full blame either.
It's crazy, because I'm 33, never voted or even registered. My Government teacher my senior year of HS, told all her students that even if we were old enough and voted that our votes don't matter because the electoral college votes determine the president
Your votes are what determines the results of the EC, thus the president. The electoral college simply minimizes the chances that the country will always be controlled by CA, NY, PA, MI, FL, TX, etc.
The tariffs will absolutely make people stop spending money

Exactly. Our country is the United STATES of America, not the United People of America.
Girl get to your point 🤦🏾♀️
Patrice O'Neil had a great bit bout this.

6:45 Charlie Kirk is the one to trust, he knows more than this college student. That’s my opinion.

Holy shit i caught this in the first minute of it going up
Or sell the fruit and veggies in the United States in the United States?
Now all that's left is for the electoral college to do their job and vote the way their state wants in December
"Unite the parties", never gonna happen.
Now, get rid of the parties, better odds.
This is how my mom talks, she goes on and on and on. Just be more to the point. If we want your life story we can read your future book.
What she means by going down.A rabbit hole is the Google hole and the Wikipedia hole course.She's gon to believe everything that google tells her

3:23 the girl can’t even answer the question, just like a Kamala response, unfocused word salad 🥗 😵💫

We dont need her life story, get to the point!
@MrLBoyd @2:00 amen. Lol
Does anyone on the left do the same sort of q & a? I haven’t seen any.
They're not interested in debate. They can't defend their agenda or their actions. That's why they don't have these kinds of conversations.
I think Tariffs are not going to be for food products so it will be same amount us now if not less, because change of Ukraine being able to go back to be bread basket of the world could decrese food prices all around the world.
2:00 your funny 😆
Who is he?
He's super smart and he supports Trump which is great but is he a TH-cam star or what?
He's an AH
Bruh you starting to have a dirty mind

I mean that's a fact, so I don't really get what the point of voting is.
Women shouldn’t vote
Wtf? That's incredibly sexist.
@ hahaha 😝
