@_FleerUltra @EvanSco41298672 the preferences of working class black people as expressed through polls are useful to pundits insofar that they can be used to bludgeon progressives; those preferences as expressed through voting, however, can be safely ignored — PolitiTweet.org

@andrewahala but the presidency being a single office complicates this. national legislatures might have a weighting mechanism, but there is no such mechanism for each individual member. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@trentengland @50megatonFbomb I’ll also say that you are narrowly defining what the electoral college is, ignoring the entire set of mechanisms in order to make your pedantic and irrelevant point about how other — entirely different political systems — handle plurality wins in legislative elections. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@trentengland @50megatonFbomb I did not write as if its unusual, and I did not make any superlative claims about it. That is a reading you imposed on what I said for the sake of being an asshole. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@trentengland @50megatonFbomb I have written quite a bit about all of these things and you’re welcome to read my views, what I’m not going to is patiently explain them to some chud whose opening gambit was to suggest I’m either an idiot or a liar. — PolitiTweet.org

@mikewasson yes. as i said earlier, have to consider the totality of the political system. the existence of snap elections and no confidence votes in westminster systems also matters — PolitiTweet.org

@Dunderheid2 yes, and to that i’d say you have to consider the political systems in their totality — PolitiTweet.org

@trentengland @50megatonFbomb as always with you people it comes down to having a breathtaking amount of contempt for your fellow citizen’s ability to reason and deliberate — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@trentengland even though you’re being an asshole i’ll answer. not only does it matter that parliamentary systems involve election of a legislature and not a singular executive, but those systems don’t have mechanisms that allow legislatures to remove voters from the process. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
would love electoral college defenders to even attempt to account for that fact that the system doesn’t even do what it is billed as doing, which is extending attention and representation to neglected parts of the country. — PolitiTweet.org

@andrewahala besides, this really isn’t very responsive to the point i’m making. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@andrewahala i don’t think you can make this kind of comparison between a parliamentary system with snap elections and no confidence votes and a presidential one with fixed terms and a powerful executive. it’s apples and oranges. — PolitiTweet.org

ivanka and jared were top advisors to the president who grifted hundreds of millions of dollars for themselves and looked the other way when their boss tried to overturn the constitutional order. a little ridicule is in order. — PolitiTweet.org

as it stands, the electoral college is basically incentivizing the GOP to reject the idea, entirely, that you should even try to win the most votes, or that winning the most votes has any connection to political legitimacy. “we’re a republic, not a democracy,” after all. 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
the extent to which winning without winning becomes a normal part of american presidential politics can’t help but influence bad actors, who might look at a narrow defeat and say, “there’s no reason i can’t manipulate the rules to make that go the other way” 4/ — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
put a little differently, i don’t think it is a coincidence that the first president to try this in earnest was also the second president in two decades to win the white house without winning the popular vote. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
it’s not just that the multi-stage nature of the electoral college means that it can be manipulated and subverted, but that the very possibility of winning the election without winning the vote is an inducement to try to subvert the electoral college. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
