electoral college? there is nothing to dodge, you are just butthurt that this system can lead to an outcome that you dont like
facts dont interest you
the monument discussion, also nothing to dodge, your retarded "slavery monument" rhetoric, lack of education on the subject and constant virtue signalling from your 21th century antifa perspective have already been exposed
tell me, which statues are going down next? i mean britain already has a discussion about a horatio nelson statue, so who is next on your list to rewrite history?
and the list goes on, but dont let me disturb you and your fellow antifa idiots in their own little universe
but....but you are a bigot isnt an argument and its telling that you have absolutely nothing to say on the özoguz topic and her islamic propaganda
so i must assume that you dont have a problem with sharia law supporters in our government, i am not suprised
@Tyxo
thats how it should be, but its kinda difficult when deranged leftists like fender dominate politics and media
we just need to copy australias policy, but according to the left wing logic they must the most racist country on the planet
cute how you choose to remember things but the simple fact is that after this post you just abandoned the conversation about the electoral college:

the fact that the usa are bigger is in itself not an argument for a system that makes some votes basically meaningless while others count for multiple times the average, depending on where you live. you'd have to do better than that to convince me that you have an actual reason to think it's beneficial for america (beyond putting the guy you like in charge) - and why you keep attacking me for my opinion that it's undemocratic and unfair (no matter who benefits from it).
and please don't give me the old "if the cities have too much relative power, the rest of the country will suffer" bullshit. the USA have an average urbanisation rate compared to other first world nations. countries like japan, australia, france, and sweden have a higher one (> 85%), great britain, norway, and canada are basically on the same level as the USA (~80%), while germany, russia, and italy have a lower rate of urbanisation (< 75%).
they all have more populated urban regions and states, as well as rural and remote ones with fewer people. funny that their rural areas don't get fucked over by politicians that make one-sided legislation to favour the cities, it's almost like it was in a country's best interest to not do that.
you could even argue that the EC actually would have the opposite effect as it forces the candidates to campaign in certain swing states and therefore ENCOURAGES biased policies that are particularly popular in such states.
perhaps the strongest argument, however, is the opinion of americans themselves. in january of 2013, at a time where partisan politics were unlikely to sway the result in order to legitimise or delegitimise the president, a nationwide 63% (61% amongst republicans) was against the EC, while only 29% (30%) were in favour:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/159881/americans-call-term-limits-end-electoral-college.aspxabout the monuments i already dismanteled your retarded slippery slope fallacy and claim that anyone wants to "rewrite history" (in fact, i said this part of history is very important to be presented in its proper context, put the historically and artistically valuable monuments in museums) - history books still exist if you remove those statues, a majority of which being erected during racial tensions as provocation, from public places - another point you failed to address!
it's very revealing that when i mention one of your party's most prominent member's comments about disposing of a german politician in anatolia, obviously because she has a turkish background, you can't disavow that and rather jump to attacking her and justifying such comments.
ofc you can disagree with her - as a matter of fact i do regarding a great many of things (quite a few of which you mentioned - even though you put a little right wing propaganda twist on it as expected), but does that justify those comments? only for true bigots i would argue...
lastly, that you keep calling me antifa sympathiser / member whenever you're mad and triggered (which currently seems to be your usual state) just shows how desperate you are since i explicitly called them out for their thuggery multiple times and distanced myself clearly and unmistakenly from their actions in terms even you would have to understand...
