It Would Be Nice to Know Who Is Running the Government
You are most likely right. Well, probably not Joe himself but, rather, Jill. Still, you have to admit, it was one extremely well crafted and precisely aimed dukie to dump on the party that wouldn't let him die on the field. Joe always was one for building back better LOL, -

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
I think proof of citizenship and some kind of personal ID should be required when registering to vote. The most important thing is that the requirement for these IDs should be made as easy to get as possible, with the object of registering and allowing voting from as many citizens as possible. -

Russian and Turkish Nationals Arrested for Illegal IT and Interior Installation Work
That's pretty damning evidence they have on these criminals, a power drill and several pieces of PVC tubing! With that kind of proof, even the Red Bull heir would have been dragged out of his limo and tossed straight into prison! -

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
One of the biggest advantages to using this method is that it provides a more equal voice for both small and large states in the election of the president – since every state has two Senators no matter the size of its population. If the Electoral College were abolished, presidential candidates would be incentivized to focus most of their efforts in states like Florida or Texas, leaving smaller states like Iowa and Delaware left out in the cold. Aside from the fact that there are valid and practical reasons for the Electoral College system, there are other pragmatic reasons for maintaining the status quo. First of all, if we had a pure popular vote system, as many on the Left are now proposing, it would become quite difficult—because of third-party (and more) candidates—to ensure that any candidate would win a popular majority. For example, in the election of President Clinton in 1992, Clinton received a majority of electoral votes and was elected president. However, he only received a plurality – 43 percent – of the popular vote, and Ross Perot, a third-party candidate, received almost 19 percent. President Clinton did not win a majority of the popular vote in the 1996 election either, but because he won an Electoral College majority, he was elected President of the United States both times. This raises the question: What would happen if we did away with the Electoral College and instead implemented a system whereby a person could win the presidency with a plurality of the popular vote? If this were to occur, every special interest group would have their own candidate, and the field of candidates would be enormous. Thus, EVERY election year would be utter chaos. https://www.familyfoundation.org/blog/why-the-electoral-college-is-so-important -
