like you have: • the website itself • its own static-content CDN (why you need a separate domain for this has never been explained to my satisfaction) • third-party CDNs • straight-up trackers • grey-area domains that putatively do something substantive but also condition whatever it is on tracking
it’s not even about entertainment, it’s that seeing a guy running for president promise to round up people and throw them into camps doesn’t register as “real.” it’s interpreted as performance.
a lot of americans just seem to believe, to their bones, that nothing truly bad could ever happen to them, and so their choices don’t really matter
Agreed! I would also fear that a state would backslide after implementation. But I think it’s the best we’re likely to see in the near future (would love to be wrong though)
I would love to see this come to pass, though it needs to stall until we can replace enough of the insane SC judges that is has a hope of survival. Also, I LOVE that RI, VT, ME, and DE, most of the reasons the EC exists in the first place, are in. :D
Unless things change drastically, I also doubt that'll happen in my lifetime. On the other hand, I could see the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact happening within the next decade or so. That's less stable than constitutional change, though.
I would not give good odds on getting rid of the EC. It would require amending the Constitution, which would have to pass both houses of Congress with a two-thirds majority then be ratified by three-quarters of the states.
