Said with complete confidence, about a society that was >95% rural and farming-based when the electoral college was formed.

Also ignores that the EC was originally intended to be proportional, which fundamentally altered how it functioned.

Crazy how little certain people understand anything at all about US history.

> Why would I vote for any politician seeking to systematically undermine our civil rights?

Trying to sell the Dems’ stance on guns as “undermining civil rights” is gonna gut the “pro-gun” movement from bow to stern.

It’s exactly the kind of obnoxious, level 10000 dumbfuckery that all of us-even lifelong gun enthusiasts-have fucking had it with. Grow up.

> Give me one good reason to support Democrats without pointing to the Republicans and saying “they’re worse.”

You do realize that this question is you admitting to everything I just said, right?

Straight-up admitting you can’t defend R bullshit, but trying to cover it in the form of a “question”.

You’re better at making my points than I am, god damn.

It’s not hard at all.

You walk into the voting booth, you fill in all the little bubbles with names with (Democratic Party) next to them.

Then you cast your ballot and walk out.

And then, you don’t try and bullshit people about Democrats being the same as people that are open about wanting to murder their way out of every problem this country has.

I don’t like Dems stance on guns either but it’s got nothing on the genocidal rage that Rs have had for decades.

So you mailed your vote in, claimed you’re just not voting for reasons that change by the day, and are now claiming intimidation by Antifa when you went to vote early.

The agitators on this sub aren’t even trying anymore.

“I’m either lying or extremely uninformed” isn’t really the out you think it is.

So a quick google search of “England store close crime” gives me examples of stories outside the US closing due to increased crime rates.

Are Democrats responsible for that too?

The most violent states in the union are mostly run by Rs. This insane little blame game of yours needs to stop.

Really sounds like you don’t want to talk about that kid that Philly PD kidnapped, bud.

Also, crime is way up nationwide from small town to mega city and in red rural states.

These attempts to pin it ALL on Democrats are weak and stupid, even by (R) standards.

Also what is it, 8/10 of the most violent states in the Union are (R) strongholds? That’s math that even you can do.

Wasn’t it Philly police that literally stole a kid and did a photo opp with him, saying his mom ditched him at a protest?

Wrong city for this narrative, chief

Edit: It was, and the actual story was far worse than that, city settled for $2 million.

Loved that response more than you could know, by the way.
