    This you Sledog?

    Definately not. Conservative here. That generally means law abiding. Not liberalprogressocommie "ends justify the means" and criminals by nature.

    Biggest voter fraud in the country is state run in California. Controlled by Liberalprogressocomies they decided illegal aliens should get drivers licenses. They also made the DMV system incapable of discerning who is legal and illegal to "prevent discrimination". All license recipients are automatically registered to vote. So everyone gets registered and can vote. All thoughts otherwise are false and put out by pandering loony libs. Nothing stops them from voting. They even have a CA ID or DL.

    600,000+ illegals have been processed so far. That's how bad voter fraud is.

    No link, apparently shots fired near the protest in Seattle. 3 people shot

    Edit, not related apparently:

    Third and Pine is where all the lowlife street dealers hang out by MackDonald's. Drug deal gone bad and some poor bystanders were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    The electoral college is a reactionary institution invented by the Framers as a tool to maintain white supremacy in the slave states.

    Trump didn't even get as many votes as Romney, so fuck him.

    Uh...maybe to grant slave states more power in executive elections, but I am not sure it was per se to maintain white supremacy in slave states.

    And that still wouldn't mean there are not benefits to an electoral college that were not necessarily planned or foreseen.
    I guess I am also sympathetic to the Fredrick Douglass interpretation of the constitution.
    It gave the slave states outsized governmental power in relation to their population, which they used to protect slave labor from Northern reformers.
    It was a compromise (see also: Great Compromise/Sherman's Compromise) to keep the republic together. The smaller states understood Boston, New York, Philly could muscle them into insignificance. The larger states understood they needed the labor/output of the smaller agricultural states so they could continue their manufacturing and trade overseas. Not all that much different than the resource-based heartland today. The larger states knew they couldn't survive without the smaller states and vice versa.

    But like always, 'progressives' want to view things through their tired injustice/woe is me prism. Fuck that. Slavery was abolished 150 years ago. Get over it. I (we?) had nothing to do with it. Until they quit whining about shit from 6 generations ago, they'll get the same response from all that red on the electoral map. They just don't care about the political elites or their ideological spin. They care about their families, their paychecks and their beliefs. That's it. Period. In that order. Progressives have the order of priorities reversed. They Trump voters don't want to be told what to believe or how to believe it or how to express their beliefs by some far off central government or talking head 'expert' on TV who hasn't done an honest day's work in years.

    The US system isn't perfect but this election was a lesson in how the disenfranchised can flex their muscles a bit. Don't bitch because the Dems couldn't put together a coalition within the rules of the election and put forth one of the most hated people in the country over the last 25 years. Or that their candidate just flat got out-worked and displayed unbelievable hubris and condescension toward the voters. Their collective narcissism ignored the reality that they put forth a piece of shit criminal* as their candidate for the most powerful person in the world. When they stakes are that high, you put forth someone with a chance to win. Hilary was tainted from day one and her downside risk too great.

    Get better players, get better coaches, run better plays. Otherwise, Scoreboard, baby and STFU.

    Excellent post @PurpleThrobber
