Here's a way that maybe these people can understand.
Pretend all of the people living in the 14 states are black, and all the people in California are white. Should the white people be able to make sweeping decisions about how the black people live just because they're the majority? What if they make a stupid decision because they don't understand the lives of the black people? For example, what if they ban makeup for dark complexions over environmental concerns from the manufacturing. After all, the white people don't use it and don't know anybody who uses it, so why should it keep being produced if nobody uses it?
Or what if all of the people in those 14 states are gay, and the people in California are straight? What if the straights decide to ban gay marriage because they think it's gross. Should they have so much say just because there's more of them?
It's funny how the people who claim to support minorities are actively advocating to take their power away. Oh that's right. They couldn't care less about minorities. They just want to impose their will on everbody else because they know what's best.
Guess what? THAT'S WHY THERE'S THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Yes, that's a compromise made when the constitution was written. If we had only the House, an alliance of 9 states could rule over the country. If we had only the Senate, 17.6% of the population could rule the country.
Federalism failed hard at stopping progressivism.
Federalism was never supposed to stop progressivism. That was the job of Republicanism (not the party, the movement).
Then maybe those Californians should stop diluting their vote by aiding and abetting illegal aliens.
No, you can't have mob rule.
Here ya go.
If that doesn't make it clear for them, it's hard to understand what will. The left is a really huge fan of tyranny of the majority. The answer is always going to be the same: there is a Constitution, there are laws, and in this case an Electoral College purposefully meant to stop tyranny of the majority, that is one of if not it's main purpose. The US does not operate based on a show of hands, it operates based upon the law. If you find the EC to be a problem, I'm sure they can try and get rid of it legally but I'd like to see them try without starting a civil war. Perhaps maybe learn to play the game by the rules instead of trying to destroy the game.
They're confident that they'll always be able to find a bunch or extremists or terrorists able to cow that majority - all for their own good, after all.
Although, given this fixation on how they and they alone represent the true will of the people maybe they actually do believe their own rhetoric...
They 100% do believe their own shit - that's why it's so bad right now. The polarization has pushed partisan Democrats way past the breaking line to the point they're not able to able to tell the people calling themselves "anti-racist" are literally racist by any definition. And those who are just useful idiots fall into the same category: they can't tell, but those people at least if you can talk to them can wake up.
I think they manage it by continually redefining "people" to exclude people they find distasteful. This doesn't make me feel particularly hopeful about such people getting - or seizing - power.
Moronic leftists can't really understand anything really
What’s the likelihood they’d fight back and split off in a Cascadia scenario?
