That's dangerous rhetoric although coming from Graham that's par foe the course.

They need to stop this shit.
They won't. This was the cost of having Trump. The GOP have the let the batshit crazy out of the bag and it ain't going back in now. Iirc some republicans even warned them of that back on 2016

Yeah, change it so the popular vote winner wins the election. Oh wait....

Seriously, what does Trump have on this dude.

Same thing the entire Republican party has on him - apparently, he's gay. It's why he became such a giant sycophant in the last four years after being one of the more moderate Republicans. If it gets out he's gay, he'll lose the support of his base.

Gawdamn shut the fuck up, Graham. You won you're seat. You're safe for another what, 6 years? Trump is out, you don't got to finger him anymore.

Hey look at that, conservatives abandoning democracy. Just like David Frum (a lifelong conservative) said they would.

Republicans tend to constantly get by in this country with a ton of wealth and prosperity, yet they keep trying to upend it because they keep deluding themselves into believing the government is circumventing that.

Ok.

Instead of just being grateful and maybe giving back, keep trying to upend the whole system under the misguided notion that you stand to gain even more by hoarding it all to yourselves. Continue to find out how that works out for you. Continue to create your own destitution by fucking everyone else over and ramming your selfishness down everyone's throats.

Has any journo called him out on this?

Lol im pretty sure they did, not to mention he was called out on it on stage in the middle of a debate. It literally doesn't fucking matter anymore because people here still voted for him without hesitaton because of what letter was by his name. There were simply too many of us in this state that didn't care about anything else besides what letter was beside his name.

What system could they fathom that would benefit republicans more? The electoral college margins for victory overall are razor thin with built-in disenfranchisement and only 2 major parties. 20-50k votes here and there and things could look a lot different. So I think Republicans are perfectly happy with the EC.

This seems like a lie to comfort Trump.

US elections are largely popularity contests.

All it takes is for a charismatic Republican candidate for the GOP to rally around. The Trump turnout was actually scarily high.

The Dems need to make sure they have clear messaging and charismatic candidates going forward.

Republicans are openly advocating abolishing democracy itself. This is treason, and they need to be removed by any means necessary.

"Look, if we want to keep being evil we're going to have to use our amassed power to change the electoral system. That's a hall of a lot easier than listening to people and delivering them what they want!"

So the system which is already rigged to give Republicans the presidency while they represent a minority of the country needs to be rigged more to help Republicans even more because even in this shitty rigged electoral college system they still can't win.

Hey if they're already using this talking point, might as well try to get electoral college abolished

You're right Lindsey!

The Electoral College system is broken, it's time for a true Democracy

1 person, 1 vote.

What's that? It's worse for Republicans?
Uh. Imagine that.

You mean the election system that is responsible for the republican party holding power for any period of time at a national level in recent history?

I'm all for changing it Lindsay. Let's get rid of the gerrymandering

What they got on Grahame

Someone found out he might not like women as much as it seems like he does. Probably got caught playing pat-a-cake.

Trump really must have something though. I mean they are home free at this point. No reason to keep swinging from Trumps balls... unless he has something on them.

They've got to have dirt on this guy for him to turn around to being one of Trump's chief ass-lickers, right? That's the only explanation I can think of.

The United States owes what I would characterize as a tremendous obligation to the rest of the world to reform their political system in such a way that guarantees, by design, that a party like the Republicans never governs again.
