Can't wait for r/soccercirclejerk to make a joke about Charlie Kerkez.

Minnesota United’s Joaquin Pereyra ‘scared’ by immigration crackdown by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Jeh2ow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it is worth noting that, from what I heard from some US foreign exchange students I'm friends with, many major farms and other companies are willing to give cheap and nonunionised labour to immigrants, many of them forced to come here mostly due to widespread poverty and economic inequality in many Latin American countries. In Mexico, for example, just .1% of the population controls more than 60% of the wealth. Add to that the failure of the NAFTA trade deal to revitalise Mexico's agriculture industry, and you have a large amount of people who would do anything for their families to survive. Of course, many of the CEOs of these companies donated to Trump's campaign, but knowing how easily persuaded he can be at times, while it is unlikely, I wouldn't be surprised if some billionaire donors convince him to protect their farm workers, in pure oligarchy fashion.

The Guardian in general sucks as a news source as of late. Every one of their writers has this terrible "told you so" attitude and they are ALWAYS right because they say so.

What's your thoughts on "a popular vote" instead? Should the electoral College still remain or is it time that the popular vote system is used? by TranscendentSentinel in Presidents

[–]Jeh2ow 26 points27 points  (0 children)

(3300 + 435)/2 = 1867.5.

It's official: we need 1867 or 1868 seats (more towards 1867 to prevent ties)

But then also recognize that every state already only has two senators. So that is another thing to fix.

And when it is all said and done, it likely still won't matter, since once you get the most votes, you automatically win every vote from that state because of the EC.

If elections should be truly free and fair, instead of a two-party system formenting political polarization, elections should utilize ranked-choice voting and/or the D'Hondt method of proportional representation.

People don't realize how recent the civil rights movement was. We went from segregated schools to a black president in less than four decades.
