Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said “the Electoral College needs to go” during a fundraiser yesterday in Sacramento, CA.
Correction to my previous post, I think he signed a letter of intent with the other anti-constitutional Governors rather than sign a bill into law - at this point.
When you hear, "do away with the electoral college," think 'do away with the constitution'.
The Electoral College balances the equality of the states with equality of the people, as does the House and Senate.
EVERY clause of the Constitution is a protection against majority rule.
Besides that the Electoral College is a good idea, it is a CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT, that requires quires a constitutional amendment, consent of 3/4ths of the states to change or abandon it.
Ending the EC through c'l amendment requires more than half of the smaller states to cede power to the larger ones, in other words, when pigs fly, when hell freezes over.
It's like a clown show only far more dangerous. They talk big amongst themselves, here and there, but no one told Walz to STFU in the month before a highly contested election where they suddenly need the vote of more than just the far Left.
So out comes the back track. Add it to the flip flop list.
Ban fracking, don't ban fracking.
End Private health insurance, don't end Private health insurance.
Taxpayer paid gender change operations, no taxpayer paid gender change operations.
Wide open border, not so wide open border.
F. Israel, Israel has a right to defend itself.
Build nuclear power plants, don't build nuclear power plants, build nuclear power plants.
Abandon the Electoral college, keep the Electoral college.
I missed a few, but imagine you had to keep all of that straight, and you're no brighter than Kamala Harris or Tim Walz.
Do words and statements and policies have any meaning with these people?
Even your strongest supporters don't believe you. They know it's wink, wink, and the policy will be right back where it started once elected.
Abraham Lincoln famously asked Frederick Douglass, "if you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?" Four, of course. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
Kamala Harris had to work hard to stake out positions and votes in the US Senate to the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. There isn't much room there. Now she says she's a centrist. Does saying she's a centrist make her a centrist? No. It makes her a liar - on a series of crucial questions., how will you govern.
People have a right to know, especially since sh walked into this without winning one primary State nor one primary vote. And walls even more so. He was chosen by someone who won not one primary State and not one primary vote. There is no there, not even feigned legitimacy.
