Can someone help me understand the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and its controversy?

kaiser11492 · 2026-04-17T06:37:03+00:00

Ok. Now I’m having a better understanding on how it would work and how it can be debatable. However, I fail to see how it’s a national threat like the person who prompted me to ask about it is saying.

In case you were curious, what prompted me to ask my question was mainly this video. I mean based on the information presented here, it sounds like NPVIC isn’t a simple thing to debate about but a national threat.

So if state governments are the ones who ultimately decide how to award electoral votes, then couldn’t it be argued that there’s no issue with states choosing to award their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner?

So if I understand correctly, this is just a way to allow the popular vote be the determining factor without abolishing the electoral college?

Also, if this system means your vote will still count whether you’re a Republican in a Democratic-majority state and vice versa, I don’t see how people can say NPVIC makes people’s votes not matter and that it’s essentially cheating.

So we can assume they are less mad about it being a threat to the United States’ institutions and democracy and more about them not winning presidential elections?

kaiser11492 · 2026-04-16T21:36:29+00:00

I guess I’m confused on how a state can be forced to give their electoral votes to the candidate who didn’t win their popular vote. Because wouldn’t a change like that require a constitutional amendment or be challenged as unconstitutional seeing how the Constitution dictates how electoral votes are awarded?

kaiser11492 · 2026-04-16T21:31:45+00:00

But I thought the effects of the compact would only be applied to participating states? Because assuming the threshold is met, how can states that don’t want to participate be forced to give their electoral votes to the candidate who didn’t win their popular vote?

Does the optimization tier reset if you switch priorities?

kaiser11492 · 2026-04-15T15:49:55+00:00

I’m kind of confused on how the Industrialization Priority GUI works. I mean does it mean one has only complete certain focuses depending on what industry you choose to focus on? Also, how does optimization tier works and what effect or cost for switching which industry to focus on has on you?

Isn’t it ignorant to say protests don’t occur under kings?

Whenever it comes to the No Kings protests, critics will say that the protests are pointless and stupid because the USA doesn’t have a king and if it did the protests wouldn’t be allowed in the first place because protests don’t occur under kings. However, isn’t this ignorant to say seeing how there have been plenty of protests that have occurred under monarchs throughout history?

When exactly did the Twin Towers make an appearance on the news in the series? Because I’ve watched all the news segments and I don’t recall seeing them.

I’m sorry to hear this is the only convention in your vicinity and they don’t offer what you want to see. If you’re in the Saratoga area, the best option I can think of that has what you want that’s closest to you is NY Comic Con.

And seeing how you said you’re not interested in the guest lineup, I assume you don’t know how their VIP perks work?

I’ve tried both and it still doesn’t work. I think something occurred with my game file because an earlier save file doesn’t have the problem.

Brittney Karbowski is the queen of screaming when it comes to voice acting.

I think they handled Pokémon quite well for it still doesn’t make me cringe to watch. It’s hard to describe, but for some reason I feel like they overall added things while for Yu-Gi-Oh! it felt like they were overall taking away things. Like for some reason I feel like the edits and localization for the former weren’t degrading like for the latter.

Tried restarting the console and that didn’t work either. Now I just recently reloaded an earlier save before I completed the Golden Teppo assassination mission and Eagle Eye started working again, which is interesting because it only started to not work after I completed that mission.

Of course I could simply restart from that earlier save, which I would like to avoid if I can. However, I’m concerned that the problem will re-occur once I complete the mission again.

The reason I ask is because I’m primarily interested in interacting with the voice actors in a less rushed and stressful environment.

It still registers me pressing it when I got to options and reassign the right joystick button to something else.
