    Hillary ran an incompetent campaign more than Trump ran a smart one. She failed in messaging, calling out the supporters of her opponent as "deplorables," and in basic strategy of going for a big EC win instead of driving home her advantage in blue collar states like Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
    We shall see because Biden has flipped the Hillary script and is working hard for smaller states where he has a chance.

    But everyone already knows that Biden is a befuddled old fool and incapable leader. This is why his handlers try to keep Biden from speaking his own words as much as possible now.

    You're wasting a lot of time talking trash about Biden when you should be talking about what you're going to do about our very connected health and economic crises.

    Poor people are always going to benefit more from government than they contribute.

    Your point is what? They're still dead and COVID-19 was the cause.

    Canada has never claimed or acknowledged having nuclear weapons, and supposedly gave up the idea of ever having nuclear weapons more than a half century ago.

    It cannot dilute what does not exist.
    There is no national "voting power" - your "power" to vote exists entirelty within your state.

    They never have. Not once.
    You have no right to vote for President; your state need not ask your opinion on how it should choose its electors.

    Yeah, keeping their jobs. I doubt the American people would accept them not filling it for 2 more years, much less 4.

    Plus Great Britain, Denmark, France, Finland, and so on and so forth. All have universal coverage and all have average life expectancies several years longer than ours.

    It was sad to see this traitor's coffin draped in an American flag, and her corpse being displayed on U.S. govt. property at taxpayers' expense. She renounced her citizenship and then lacked to character to resign and move to her beloved New Zealand, but Democrats insist on public farces and crapping on the country with these sick shows.

    Re life expectancy, white Americans are only a couple of years less than the main Euro countries of France, Germany, and Great Britain, at 79 versus 81 and if you allow for a demographics of Latinos that self-identify as 'white' then it is close to the same. Richer areas have longer average lifespans, as is the case everywhere. The expenses American pay, for drugs and basic care is definitely outrageous, though, no doubt about it. Look at Monaco versus the bigger countries ...

    This country has moved away from collectivism since WW2. Some of your points go all the way back to the unamended Constitution. I don't see it.

    Take "eminent domain." Without it, we couldn't put up electricity transmission lines, or oil and gas pipelines.

    It's not the "imminent domain" as much as the governments abuse of it at times.

    Your claim: "Nobody cares what you say any more than what Bower says."

    I think you went too far.

    If you're looking at government using it to assemble land for the benefit of private interests, I agree.

    Not true at all, voters in bigger populations would have a bigger voice and those in smaller populations would have no voice.

    As it stands now, is far superior than a pure popular vote.

    Ginsburg renounced her citizenship? When? There's a federal registry of people who renounced and she isn't on it.

    True. I remember seeing a guy on TV who owns a golf course on the border and he wasn't going to sell. "Out of Bounds" on the hole I saw was "Gone Forever!"
