It would take a Constitutional Amendment to remove the EC and that just is not going to happen. I would settle for the achievable goal of rescinding the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. It would not be a perfect solution but it could be done simply by passing a law, just like any other.

Mental health rather than guns is the problem? Therapist here: I can attest that Donald Trump the GOP has done more to destroy mental health than anything else in the last decade. Living perpetually terrified destroys a healthy mind.

Trump is a prolific liar. Our representative are holding these lies up as truth. No accountability, no consequences. Remove the Republicans. They are treasonous.

Senate Republicans are continuously giving our power to Trump. They have handed him the purse and the hammer. They will let us fall.

Kyle Kullinsky gave that statement. I thought it was way off. I consider Jan 6 political violence, Rittenhouse, ICE & militarization... I'll look for additional sources. I want to know.

In the past 50 years, there has been 32 acts of political violence. 19 were committed by the Right, 5 were leftist and the remaining claim no affiliation. Facts
Peggy McDonald (@peggymcdonald.bsky.social)
Political violence? Gun violence for sure, but not political. You would have to know the intent of the offender to call it political. They haven't a clue as to why Charlie Kirk was shot. Jesse watters incited, "It's the demon rats and we're going to fight back". No .

It speaks volumes about your president, that he ordered flags to half mast for a murdered right wing radical but, not for our school children murdered in their schools. Trump is a disgrace and embarrassment, universally hated, by honest people around the World.

Taxpayers pay $200 per person per day to the non-profits that detain them.They don't want children who live in poverty to get $6 a day in food stamps... They won't help below poverty seniors with energy or food. Healthcare denied.

Agreed. To do that, Congress must first pass a Constitutional Amendment which at least 38 of the 50 states must then ratify to enshrine it in law. We're going to need a plan.

Big plans. Every single day he's allowed to stay in office, he does more damage. He completely controls the purse. He has impounded money from every agency and will not return it. The supreme Court has ordered it returned. ๐คท

Letโs address the number of senators per state in ratio to population while weโre at it. A minority of racist bigots should not have control over the majority of reasonable people.

Trump says domestic violence is not a crime. He also said migrants are "poisoning the blood of our country."I think we have enough to run him out of office. He is destroying the American way of life. Women's rights have already been affected. Our economy has been affected. Trump is the poison.

The EC was a method for a wealthy, unpopular minority to impose their will on the majority. The modern Republican Party is the ultimate reflection of that objective.
Peggy McDonald (@peggymcdonald.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree. Human rights, wage inequality, racism, and ignorance are a few. Yanking DJT from our government is emergent. The damage is permanent.

Nothing that makes perfect sense will happen during this administration. The electoral college should have been abolished when slavery was. The GOP have used it ever since.

It's impossible to forget. Trump did not win a free and fair election. 70% of us stand firmly against this administration. He cheated. We are fighting in court daily. I am beyond embarrassed for us all.

Trump has not given back one dime that he clawed back from FEMA or usaid. Where's the money? How much have tariffs brought into the u.s treasury? They have complete control over our pay system. You couldn't trust what they told you anyway. ๐คท๐

Is there some way, We, the people can fire or impeach? Congress no longer represents us. The Scotus has determined tarriffs and using the national guard illegal and unconstitutional. So who's going to stop him?

Considering the degradation of society that trump and his cult have caused, the U.S. is the last place Iโd visit if I didnโt live here. Itโs become a cesspool of criminals posing as government! Turning law enforcement into a grotesque version of masked goons indiscriminately attacking innocents!๐ก

The criminals are in jail. This is our government commiting crime. It makes me feel complicit. We pay them. We should be able to stop this. It's inhumane.

Using threats of violence to gain power. Targeting political enemies. Undermining the free press. Pumping huge sums of money into the police state. Just a few months into his second term, Donald Trump is already following the dictator's playbook to a tee.
