  • Secret Service and local PD absolutely deserve to get reemed out and punished for this gross incompetence and security failure.

    This is a huge issue that needs to be remedied quickly, else all our current and future politicians are at risk from internal or foreign enemies of the state. Regardless of your political alignment, all our politicians deserve a secure environment without risk to their own lives.

    Anyone that blows this off as, it was just Trump, is massively underestimating the scale of this issue.







  • Let’s simplify this down to a coin flip.

    Now for a long time, heads has been weighted to be the result for a while. So say the last 50 flips, it was 40 heads and 10 tails.

    So you evaluated the coin and realize it’s imbalanced. Would you weigh the tails side so the next 50 flips show more tails so that over the 100 total flips, it’s balanced?

    Or do you remove the imbalance completely, and can say the next 50 will be fair.

    Statistics would say the later, but seems people feel the first option would make it “fair” even though it’s not balanced.


  • Ok, but that’s for the EC and for presidential and VP nominees by the EC.

    In the dnc we have delegates with 1 vote for their nominee. If the delegates vote for 1 dem and another gets the 2nd amount of votes, then they’d be Pres and VP nominees for the dnc. Or actually do ranked choice for dnc nominees to get voter ranking of nominees.

    How is it better for a presidential nominee to pick who they want vs listening to the peoples actual preferences.
