28. We need a national popular vote

If the Reich Wing can plan for 50 years to overthrow Roe, we can do that. Somehow. No more of this "it's too haaaard" - billions of lives are at stake.

Forget all these byzantine "paths to victory". The EC is a global danger; the Reich Wing, aided by Big Tech, has figured out how to game it in any close election. Half the prezzes in this century have lost the popular vote.

A big turnout and heavy numbers worked in 2020, but that's a one-shot temporary fix to a major systemic problem.

Why are you re-living the 2020 election this is 2024 and is a new election Bev54 Aug 2024 #1
