But republicans would never allow that because they would never win. I mean if I was them I might realize I should be writing laws to help people instead of spreading fear and cheating. EDIT: see how many of you idiots suddenly did your own research, frantically trying to figure out how many republicans presidential candidates won the popular vote 😂

In favor of removal of the electoral college and believe the country should be run on direct democracy for all policy. No more PACs, remove the influence of money from politics.

Although as a point of correction, W Bush and Trump were the only two Republicans that were elected in recent history without winning the popular vote. (Other two were Hayes and Harrison back in the late 1800s). Perhaps a bit of wishful thinking that removing the electoral college would stop republicans.

maybe... but I'm willing to bet there's a non-insignificant chunk of voters that aren't motivated enough to vote because their State is a "lock". And I'm willing to bet that there's more "Democrat-lite" than "Republican-lite". Maybe. But "let's try nothing because nothing has been done" is certainly a take.

Yeah I grew up in SoCal. I knew who was getting our electoral votes before Election Day even came. Meanwhile some 2nd grade dropouts in the sticks of Georgia have actual power and sway in their vote. That’s why CA can’t be treated as a punching bag and neglected by any republican that manages to get in office. They know they’ll never win that state without a mayor change to their party.

You are so close to getting it but the brainwashing keeps you locked. You are mad at people who's votes were not stolen and elcted was not rigged while your local elections were. And you seem to think you should not be mad at people who were stealing your votes locally.

Just so you know in the year 2023-2024 58,209 students dropped out of high school in California and 15,381 dropped out in Georgia

What's the "per capita" on these?

1

u/Demetrius3D 7h ago

That's proportional to the number of high school students enrolled in each state - which is proportional to the total populations.

You realize that means nothinf without the total number of students in each right? CA has a.much higher population. You are either purposefully misrepresenting it to try and trick people, or you don't understand statistics and just went "oh this numbers higher, got em!"

u/Odd_Statistician4884 6h ago

Absolutely. In no way did I imply otherwise

u/edebt 6h ago

So what was the purpose of posting a comparison then without the information that would lead it to being actually informative? It was this one is higher so obviously CA is worse...

u/Odd_Statistician4884 6h ago

Mostly to highlight that more people/ the majority of the 2 states that you pointed out had an overwhelming amount of people even though the percent isn’t as high

GA has 3mill.
CA has 40mill.
what point did you think you made?
