MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: If the Electoral College Wasn’t in the Constitution, It Would Be Unconstitutional
MSNBC's Chris Hayes: If the Electoral College Wasn't in the Constitution, It Would Be Unconstitutional

Friday on MSNBC’s “All In,” host Chris Hayes took on the Electoral College and how it can allow for candidates to win the presidency without a majority of the vote, which undermines the premise of one person, one vote.
During his dissertation, Hayes made the astounding conclusion that if the Electoral College were not a part of the U.S. Constitution, it would be unconstitutional.
“It’s basically this, do we actually really believe in democracy, right?” Hayes said. “The question before us now in the Electoral College question is, are we going to actually live up to the promise of one person one vote. Now, to be fair, it is not surprising the Republicans are defending the Electoral College, right. There’s a very obvious reason for that. Since 1992 we have had seven presidential elections. Republicans have won the popular vote one time, but they’ve gotten three presidents out of it which is a very sweet deal if you’re the Republican Party, right.”
“You can see why on just basic tactical grounds why the Republican Party would want to continue a system in which they can lose a majority of votes and still get all the powers the presidency appointing the Supreme Court justices and judges and signing legislation, vetoing legislation, commanding the army, everything, right,” he continued. “All of that with less votes than the Democrat got. No wonder they like. But I think there’s actually a deeper philosophical thing happening which is the question of what exactly American democracy is for. And the weirdest thing about the Electoral College is the fact that it wasn’t specifically in the Constitution for the presidency, it would be unconstitutional.”

Tulsi Gabbard Slams DNC For Lack Of Transparency In Primary Process

On Wednesday, Hawaii Representative and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tusli Gabbard slammed the Democratic National Committee for its confusing policy regarding which contenders qualify for the party's televised debates. Gabbard made her comments to Fox News Tucker Carlson, saying the DNC is ultimately hurting the people by having unclear standards.
"The whole thing gets a little bit confusing," Gabbard said on Tucker Carlson Tonight. "And you've got to jump way down into the weeds of the numbers and the statistics. But I think the bigger problem is that the whole process really lacks transparency."
"People deserve having that transparency, because, ultimately, it's the people who will decide who our Democratic nominee will be and ultimately who our next president, the commander-in-chief will be," she continued. "And when you see that lack of transparency, it creates, you know, a lack of faith and trust in the process."
"I think this also points to a bigger issue and challenge that goes beyond the DNC and party politics is the government itself," the congresswoman remarked.
In short, this boiled down to politics really being when "a small group of really powerful political elites, the establishment, making decisions that serve their interests, and maintaining that power, while the rest of us are left outside."
As Tucker remarked, "You’d think the Democratic Party would be eager to hear more from Tulsi Gabbard. She is young. She’s progressive. She’s an Iraq War veteran." But, Gabbard failed to qualify for the next debate after not earning enough percentage of polling in DNC approved

You wish, trump is a direct consequence of electing a radical and then nominating hrc by colluding with the dnc against Bernie.
It’s 100% your fault.

Point taken about HRC.
Name one radical Obama policy...he was very mainstream.
But of course being black is considered “socialist” to you people. That’s why the tea party started showing up at rallies with guns the month he took office.
But you make a point about what the electorate does. As we hit the absolute bottom with Trump...no environmental protections, white nationalism, hatred of immigrants, attacks on legitimate news media...it’s inevitable, whether via the 2020 presidential election or otherwise, that people coalesce around a desire for humanistic leadership and values to make our kids proud of us. So drastic changes will be afoot soon enough. White men are just verrry angry that they’re losing the numbers game. Acceptance is inevitable.
