To be specific, it was done so that slave states had more power.
With the passage of the Three-Fifths Compromise, slave states were entitled to more representatives in Congress and thus more electoral votes. A vote in one of these states had more power than in a state without slaves.
Isn't it funny how the most recent Republican presidents were elected without the popular vote?
The Electoral College continues to do its job. To this day, rural voters have more voting power than urban ones.
Which is wrong. I think we should make it a condition for staying as a part of the United States that we go to a strict popular vote as it relates to the office of the president.
This was bound to happen. Trump's supporters are so much worse than him because they have so much less to lose and don't have to go through the official channels he does.
All I know is that us POC, as well as LGBT people, people of Jewish descent, women, and anyone else who is going to be affected by the extreme hate that this man has instigated need to be unified, aware of our surroundings, proactive, and never bow down. If we see this we MUST react. No time for indifference or simply pulling out a cellphone to record it and post it online.
The second amendment is ours too. I have never been in favor of guns, but any mother****er tries to touch me, my family, my gay friends, my Rabbi, or my friends I will ****ing pop a cap in their ass.
Try to hurt me or my family me and I will ****ing kill you. You can screenshot me on this. No white mother****er will ****ing try me. We are all ****ing Americans and we'd better make this clear to those who think this land belongs to only them.
let a racist bitch try me
