Great news everyone, Colorado to abolish electoral college!!!
>Colorado's Democrat-controlled Legislature has approved a bill to join other states in casting their presidential electoral votes for the winner of the national popular vote.
>The House voted 34-29 Thursday to approve the bill, which had cleared the Senate.
>Gov. Jared Polis has indicated he will sign the legislation
LOL alt-right BTFO
>literally subverting the national election process
Fucking hate what Denver has become. Can't wait to go work in Japan and send money back to my family.
i really really hope the supreme court says fuck off, and the left froths losing their fucking minds.
Literally it was her turn reeeeeeeeee situation again.
This is literal voter suppression. Imagine a state voting one way and the EC just going "Nope, the other guy won the popular vote! All your votes go in the trash!" This is unironically the kind of stuff that causes civil wars. You can't break the rules of an election just because "muh democracy"
and ironically preventing "mob rule" was precisely why we have the electoral college in the first place... that and putting a layer between the unwashed masses and the country's leadership
>Colorado goes blue
>Trump wins the popular vote
>Gayjew has to hand over electoral votes to orange man
This law will get repealed by Thanksgiving 2020
what's wrong with democracy? what are you all afraid of? that the last two republican presidents who won the election lost the popular vote?
>We lost once so lets change the rules
>can’t break the rules
Nigger did you sleep through all the fraud lastyear?
>he thinks we're a democracy
We're a republic which naturally has democratic principles, back to fakewoketraphouse retard
we're a republic idiot
go look up the "tyranny of the majority" and report back results
Yeah. This is really fucked up.
Democracy is a joke
Colorado goes blue usually
This will happen if California doesn't show up super hard to push pop vote
This would be great except fuck Trump the kike puppet.
so a candidate doesn't have to go whoo a low population state just because it is a purple state? if you want your policies enacted then you need to support policies that benefit EVERYONE, not just whatever interests your dumb little state has.
This is 100% denver. The rest of the state isnt pozzed
semantics. people in the US believe in democracy, not republics. we're not bringing "republics" to the middle east.
You're killing the republic just because of DRUMPF now?
>COLOUREDRADO YES!!!!!
Tough shit. You wanted "progressive" polititians and policies. you got it. Just enjoy and remember to vote these people back into office in the next election.
They are afraid.
Lmao the people of America believe in a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. And gee whiz i wonder why Iraq is called THE FUCKING "REPUBLIC OF IRAQ" after Saddam? God you people are fucking stupid. literally kill yourself brainlet
Because the parasitic underclass is growing and has an eternal thirst for gibs and fear of work
Which is exactly the problem. Getting 51% of retards to vote for tyranny is pretty easy when the entire media is pushing it. We're not a democracy, you filthy cocksucker.

One of the first States to legalize pot and one of the first to go down in the next few years. Just watch how much of a shit show the next four years will be.
If this retarded hippy pot filled state kicked out the illigals and cleaned up the voter lists this would be a Trump Victory
Fuck illigals, fuck denver, fuck the progressive faggots
Democracy bad because populist candidates are shit.
>Presidents never have to visit Colorado ever again
>State just gave it's votes away to whoever California and New York choose just by proxy of population
>Colorado has a tiny population that is literally choosing to not have their voices heard
Fucking why
So Denver decides for all of Colorado now? I fucking hate Californians GO BACK
yes, people are too stupid to know the difference, but the USA is still a constitutional REPUBLIC you fucking brainlet
Yep. It was the cali exodus and they brought their fucking politics with them. They will sink this state just as they did California.
Bunch of fucking locust.
If Johnson didn't split off the libertarian vote, it would have went the other way...even if the greens and independent went dem.
>national popular vote
Oh. Still fucking ridiculous.
Remember when CO was an important swing state? Legitimately purple? Now it's fucking Bay Area west.
SCOTUS will slap this down.
>gets struck down by SCOTUS
Nothing personnel, kid.
Assuming you are ignorant, read basic greek political philosophy and understand what a president is.
Assuming you can actually differentiate between republic and democracy and you are just being obtuse, go back to your containment board on otherchan, Jow Forums is a board for legitimate politics and we dont want your kind here.
Couldn’t a state change their constitution so all their votes go to republicans? I mean, it’s not much different.
Yeah, we have a history of that happening in Colorado, don't we?
Do the states even have binding power over electors? Cant the rnc just say lol fuck you when they choose them? There are already electors who vote against their state.
Letting cityfags have all of the political power would be an absolute disaster. Even if cityfags weren't degenerate megalomaniacs, urban areas and rural areas have different interests, and only having one group having their interests met while the other group gets fucked over is a quick way to cause civil conflict.
sounds like something a mexican would say
>inb4 Trump wins the popular vote and they renege
>what's wrong with democracy?
something only someone with room temperature IQ with dunning kreuger levels of intellectual delusion would say. you're a worthless piece of shit and have no soul.
One man, one vote. Nothing else.
>Great news everyone, Colorado to abolish electoral college!!!
You mean Colorado is about to spend the next 3 years in the courts getting their asses sued off due to this unconstitutional measure.
>majority of Colorado votes for Candidate A
>oops the rest of the country voted for Candidate B, your votes are all going to Candidate B instead
fuck off you gary johnson poser libertarian faggot
t. Coloradofag here. And I know there are multiple groups that will immediately sue when that faggot kike governor signs this into law.
Congratulations Colorado thanks for giving new York and ca your support forever more.
Americans are the Mexicans of Japan except we don't work as hard as most the natives
is the word "democracy" too close to big D Democrat for you? you know those are two different things, right?
the parasites are the billionaires who sit on their ass while everyone else makes them money.
i agree that we aren't a democracy, we're closer to an oligarchy. but it is the ideals of the founding fathers that are first and foremost democratic, and only in the process of compromises did our country turn into a republic. they wanted, as people today do, a democracy run by "the people."
no, they represent the will of the people.
lol
"cityfags" as if there aren't poor people in the cities and represent a large percentage of a cities population. this isn't urban vs rural, this is lower classes vs the higher classes.
only idiots dont want the power to affect politics. democracy is literally the only way for that to happen.
Shut up Statist
>Wanting cityfags and welfarefags to make political decisions
It's like you want to get fucked over.
It's the Californians who moved here in 2014 that passed this shit
Way to make voter ID laws a 100% bipartisan concern, there's no way this will backfire
They should introduce proportional representation. Every candidate gets to be President for the same percentage of the term as they got percent of the votes
Colorado may end up not getting any votes in 2020 depending how this goes.
memeflag faggot
Why didn't you kill them? That's what texas intends to do
half of the transplants moving here are Texans
You aren't as conservative as you people think you are.
The next president elected will be a republican who wins because of this legislation. Screencap this
>muh wealth classes
>what are soccermoms and limousine liberals
Wealth isn't the dividing factor, ideology is, and both cities and the people who live there are cancer that shouldn't have any say in government.
>expects people to take him seriously
You've already exposed yourself as an idiot in this thread user, better luck next time
I'm not from Texas but true Texans are shooting Californians.
I look forward to the day when only California and NY determine the winner of the presidential election and everyone else’s vote is useless.
You realize more Americans would fight a civil war over this than gun rights, dont you? Nobody wants a direct democracy.
Imagine being this ignorant of literally every political philosopher since ancient Greece who has discussed the topic of direct democracy vs representative democracy/republic.
>places with more people will have more votes
shocking
National elections aren't left to the whims of individual states, sorry. This is like voting yourself not to go to jail as the cops bust down your door. You don't have any control over it.
Last time rural America forced its morals on urban America we got the prohibition.
nope, people care about their material conditions rn, its not a culture war election. its about the candidate who give the most gibs to the most needy people. maybe in a few years itll be another culture wars election but rn things are waay too shit.
lol pls keep arguing about words its the most interesting, political thing in the world
Colorado is literally giving up its ability to affect presidential elections
Okay good for them I guess. I can’t imagine this one backfiring
>what's wrong with democracy?
There isn't a single successful democracy in history. Mob rule results in instant anarchy. There's a reason why republics are the government of choice.
Or to put it another way, in a democracy white people could theoretically vote to kill all non-whites. It would be legal and binding.
And you completely fail the point of the electoral college
The whole reason is so small rural states are still given power you fucking mong
Nope!
>its the most interesting, political thing in the world
You're being facetious, but it literally is, widdle baby brainlet.
No states are allowed to make their electors do more or les whatever they want
>states with more people get more votes
>rig elections by importing millions of foreigners to buff EC votes
Wow it's almost like you accidentally diagnosed the DNC's entire scheme and why they're so against immigration control and law enforcement.
>I want mob rule
>demographics shift against him
>becomes oppressed by mob
It's like you want to be a slave.
>Colorado giving their votes to California
DUDE
WEED
Only Wyoming should count every election
It’s complicated, the states have control over what their electors do but there is a weird thing where electors can go rouge like 4 did from Hillary in 2016
Democracy is literally tyranny fucking kill your self
The law doesn’t take effect until enough states enact this law to be able to swing an election. They currently have 67% of the necessary 270 electoral votes, Cali and NY already enacted. There are 10+ states with this waiting to be voted on.
Civil War inc.
People keep saying this about Labour here, but they've lost three elections in a row despite the incumbent Tories being the most incompetent group of fuckwits it's possible to conceive of
Yep!
Libshit states cannot vote to become single uniparty blobs, unless you braindead simps abolish the House of Representatives, too. EC votes will be decided the way they always have been.
But they are
Communists versus globalists, wow what a choice. You don't have a viable third party just like America doesn't.
How would you like if your votes went to hell because the French and Germans Votes mattered more
>question mark flag
Hi mossad.
States run elections, user. What are you babbling about?
>Only Wyoming should count every election
this
We're getting there, people keep defecting from both of our big parties and joining this bloc of unironic redical centrists
Colorado now is officially not eligible to vote 2020
They can punish electors who go faithless but they can't override their votes.
We have that, it's called the EU. It's part of why why people voted to leave.
