Yes, that is a big part of the history. The founding fathers did not like the common man and were very afraid of democracy which is why they built in guardrails that prevented commoners from influencing government. We've removed many of those guardrails because we understand that they're wrong. You don't have to own land to vote anymore. The purpose of the senate was to protect smaller states from larger states back in a time when high/low population states often voted with each other. That no longer happens. States vote on ideological lines. Vermont votes with California. Wyoming votes with Texas. The Senate has completely lost its purpose.

But that isn't what you said.

No because states with rural and property interest can work together through the Senate to prevent such power grab by large cities etc.

Do you think Kamala was your best candidate to put forward? If not, who would you have chosen? Do you agree with Kamala that she just needed more time? How much time would be enough to secure her victory?

What does interest in universal pre K in another state have to do with celebrating the 'merit' of the New York program that is criticized for failing to help those most in need? I am a conservative libertarian that, as an exception, supports subsidized education from preschool through bachelor. My statement is also unrelated to the criticism of Zohran's statement.

Rey’s first AA honor was in 2011. Add Trephan to your list and you’ve got four guys with 7 AA honors in 15 years. Nathan Taylor gives an additional R12 in 2024. That’s a pretty solid group of five guys over a 15yr timeframe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What did I say?

None of that is prevented by the Senate. It could all theoretically happen now.

It's merely a,way to provide more representation to people that own more land. It's pretty much that simple. The Senate should be burnt to the ground.

It's absolutely about identity and social justice. It's artificially inflating the power of smaller states in the interest of fairness/justice.

Why what? Why do leftists want to destroy the best country and system ever perceived? Evil.

You're working really hard to ignore the obvious. Your vote matters if you live in a heavy D/R state if you vote with the majority in the sense that your vote is being represented in the result of the election (your state's electoral votes go to your candidate). Your vote matters if you live in a swing state because it can actually impact who gets the electoral votes (obvious). Your vote does not matter if you vote against the majority in a heavy D/R state. No matter what you do, vote or not vote, there is a zero percent chance your vote will impact the election. There's some very obvious real world evidence here. Why do candidates spend 90% of their campaign resources and time in a handful of swing states? If votes in large majority states mattered, why don't politicians campaign there?

Because the senate is about state sovereignty and federalism rather than personal identity or social justice.

A guy who admires crooked Senator Sanders lol

So what about property? What if all those living in the large cities with access to public transportation pass a law outlawing automobiles? What if same majority refuse to pass funding for rural and small town internet funding? What it same pass law to strip mineral and water rights from land owners for use by large cities? Fortunately the founding fathers were smarter than the average internet poster.

Aren't Senators elected

But that was not what you said...Nice try. You also don't believe it. It is just convenient at the moment.

That's exactly what I said. I'll help you out. Republican votes in California should matter (by being added to the total Republican vote tally for the nation). Right now they don't matter. Zero Republicans could vote in CA and it would not change the result of the election. That's really stupid. Californian Republicans deserve an equal say in the election as every other citizen.

I also learned that he couldn't hold down a non-folkstyler and was shy about being punched and kicked. Struggles mightily with Cardenas, but would tech Chimaev in the first ... but I am mean to J'Den Cox because Nickel was teched by Mohammedian at a ranking series. Also was afraid to take down a Scotsman who was on the 18th hole of his career.

danish is such a classy pastry, nothing like JC.

That is not what you said though. Nice try. In addition to being a pseudo-intellectual, you are also dishonest- intellectually and morally.

In their logic, your vote only matters if you live in a swing state, which is a rational take and one that totally fits with mine. Sure, but as I said, that's a really stupid system and totally unnecessary. Your vote should matter no matter where you choose to live. Please explain why you disagree with that.

Colorado has universal pre K and Head Start and both have waiting lists.

Cole Mirasola still has 4 years of eligibility. He beat out all these guys at U20s this past summer. That's a pretty good reason to not go to PSU if you're a top HWT recruit with hopes of being a 4 year starter. On top of that, with the logjam at 197 with Conner Mirasola and Josh Barr, it seems that Connor's main role the next 3 years is to serve as a backup for both Barr and his brother at HWT. That's a pretty solid backup. I doubt PSU is putting much effort into recruiting heavies this year, and probably not next year either. I suspect recruits see it the same way.
