I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

It’s simple math in which every elector voted for their state’s popular vote winner (and that’s if you discount Bush v. Gore, which I’m assume you’re doing here, otherwise we’d be debating an issue that has no relation to the electoral college at all); all the votes for the losing candidate statewide are discounted. Never has an elector been “paid off” to vote against their state’s popular vote.
that’s not how the electoral college works tho. in most states, an elector not voting in accordance with the state’s popular vote is against the law. trump only gained 3 votes with faithless electors in 2016, and that was a record (not counting the time 63 electors switched because their pledged candidate died); no faithless elector votes counted in 2020 nor 2024.
man where’s yang
the government telling you that we are indeed fighting isis forces and not for oil
I was about to say this and how it went in the book. Do not give up our fight. If the world is full of darkness, then we shall be the burning light.
Why not?
At least certain courts may interpret “official duty” differently…
Yes. Constitutionally, the threat of impeachment is supposed to prevent that.
I’m not saying the system works or rises to the level of good. I’m saying that it is much better than the Russian system. The people at least get to choose who they think they want, and which group of people will be whipped more.
where funny

It’s quite independent from Wikidata. It’s an alpha-stage programming functions repository.
Somehow, it feels horrifying to use something that high-level for the backend, especially when MediaWiki has so much PHP and the WMF has so many PHP programmers. Maybe my adolescent arse is getting old…
Wikifunctions finally exposed running functions via API in March, though yeah, it’s still a long, long way from being integrated in wikis, not to mention the arcane parameter that is passing a JSON via URL. (and hopefully you meant Wikifunctions and not Wikidata lol)
i am going to comment “what” so somebody can put this in a screenshot
I don’t think you know that electors have a public ballot and people know when tallies don’t match up with statewide popular vote counts. You should read up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact#Motivation, especially the linked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College#Difference_with_popular_vote which has a helpful graphic.
