"a full two thirds of the country wanted someone other than Labor to win"
No, a good number of those people voted tactically to remove rusted on Liberal politicians.
None of those voters had to put Labor as a second preference if they really didn't want a Labor government. How many seats had only two candidates standing?
Our system is fair and strong, unlike the American system which is crumbling and corrupt. And ours is supported by an independent Electoral commission, which means politicians can't play stupid bloody games with our elections like the Americans do.
I listened to that entire recording and Trump is absolutely appalling.
Also, Ducey did finally stick it to Trump, certifying the election on live TV while explicitly ignoring Trump's last minute phone call as the phone plaintively plays "Hail to the Chief" while he signs the documents.
Rust Bowers lost 100% of my sympathy when he admitted, AFTER all this nonsense, that he would vote for TFG again.
Woohoo, Bowers did the thing he chose to do, did it the legally required way... and learned exactly NOTHING from anything that happened. FUCK that guy.
Nutty as this sounds, younger Wonketeers need to understand that it used to be worse. If you think Andy Biggs is a dope, you are right, but he is not even a contendah when put up against such haevyweights as Clare Hoffman.
I think the EC would be OK only if it awarded a percentage of EVs by popular vote . So, no winner take all BS, TX would go 55% R and 45%D, Oregon 65D, 35R, etc. Liz, 8s that constitutional?
I knew it! A set-up job!
The next rethug will try it if he loses, and this time, the party will make damn sure it works :(

Arizona R'S nearly as crazy as Oregon R'S.

What a horrid situation that was. Thankfully they got some support.
Cue the Benny Hill theme.
That is a very Macondan concept
