  1. Those machine can be hacked and hillary cheated.burny sanders and tulusi can beat trump bit the democrats wont support them so damn trump gonna win agsin

  2. This is really crazy. If it's true that votes for president do not matter at all in states where 40% or less of the voting public prefer a different candidate from the majority, then why bother to vote at all unless you're with the majority??

  3. I WANT TRUMP REMOVED AS PRESIDENT HE CLEARLY NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL HIS MIDDLE NAME IS TROUBLE CRIMINALHES TRULY NOT FOR AMERICA HE TALKS A GOOD TALK BUT HE DOES NOT MEAN WHAT HE SAYS HES LIED 8,000 TIMES MAKES EXCUSES FOR HIMSELF & THE LIES & SAYS I DIDNOT SAY THIS OR THAT. TRUMP ENDORSES VIOLENCE LOOK WHAT HES DOING IN VENEZEULA TEARING THAT NATION APART INVADING & OVER THROWING THIS NATION ILLEGALLY BREAkING INTERNATIONAL LAW STEALING KILLING PLUNDERING VENEZEULA LOOK WHAT TRUMP IS DOING IN SYRIA HETAKES IT UPON HIMSELF TO GIVE THE GOLAN TO ISRAEL IT HA NO RIGHT TO DO THIS GIVE SYRIAS LAND TO ISRAEL THE GOLAN IS SYRIAS TERRITORY I DONT CARE WHAT ZIONIST TRUMP SAYS OR ZIONIST PM NETANYAHU. ZIONIST TRUMP IS GOING TO GO INTO CUBA & NICARUHUA AND DO TO THEM WHAT HES DOING TO VENEZEUA.
    ZIONIST TRUMP HAS BROKE THE CONSTITUTION & TORN IT UP & THROWED IT AWAY HE THINKS HE DOES NOT HAVE TO OBEY IT ZIONIST TRUMP IS A LAWLESS PRESIDENT HE DOES NOT OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND NOR RULE OF LAW. TRUTH

  4. I guess the idea is that the people will vote for delegates who will vote for the president that they want? In this case, the delegates are completely useless because it's just adding an extra step between the people and the expression of their will.

  5. Red jacket was bad choice! LIz needs a new stylist who isn't a republican. Tho I agree wi LIz on EC. Crooked. I like a parliamentary system with proportional voting. Koza doesn't explain this very well.

  6. Koza isn't really (from a small d democratic standpoint) l making a persuasive case as to why the EC should be kept at all. Fuck the slaveocracy that wrote the constitution. We need a new one anyway it's long past time. Just have a damn popular vote that's what most voters want anyway.

  7. Gray v Sanders ruled the Georgia Democratic Party's "County Unit System" (which was modelled on the Electoral College) violated the Fairness Doctrine in the 14th Amendment and ruled that "one person on vote" should be the rule in state legislative elections. That principle should also apply to our national elections.

  8. I know you were trying hard to get there, Marc;-), but your guest needed to elaborate on what "constitutionally conservative" means. I don't know why he didn't, because you gave him plenty of time. I wouldn't have finally grasped his answers if I hadn't heard the basics explained more clearly on another indie channel, as follows (simply put):

    a). Keeping the electors and having the states pass legislation is the easier way to get to a popular vote (though I still don't understand the role of the electors, based on your guest's explanation), and doesn't require a Constitutional Amendment;

    b). A Constitutional Convention resulting in an Amendment to the Constitution could completely eliminate the Electoral College, but is much harder to do, with of 2/3 of state legislatures, or 2/3 of both houses of Congress required by Article 5 of the Constitution to amend the Constitution.

    Corrections welcome!

  9. Democrats/Republicans? Two sides of the same coin!!
    Uneducated people do not know!!
    Who chooses the president (CEO) of Sears, Walmart, Any Corp?
    The Shareholders of course!!!!
    You most likely are not a Shareholder!!
    The USA is, and always has been, a huge corporation ruled from abroad. Its initial name was the Virginia Company and it is owned by the British Crown and the Vatican, who receive their yearly share of the profits.

    The US presidents are appointed CEO's (they are not elected by us!), and their allegiance is to the "board of directors," not to the American citizens. We are seen as employees of the company and voting is designed as a distraction meant to offer us the illusion that we have a say in all this.

    "In 1606 [King] James set up the Virginia Company which was granted Royal authority to begin settlements in the province of Virginia, named after Elizabeth I, who had been popularly called the Virgin Queen. The Union Jack first flew on American soil at Jamestown in Virginia as a permanent fixture in the spring of 1607…

    "The early members of the Virginia Company were aristocrats who supported the Church of England and the Royalist cause. They included Lord Southampton, the Earl of Pembroke, the Earl of Montgomery, the Earl of Salisbury, the Earl of Northampton, and Sir Francis Bacon…

    "As chancellor of England, Bacon was able to persuade the king to issue the charters which enabled the new colonies to proliferate in the new world…

    "The Virginia Company members who actually settled in America included several members of the Bacon family, and friends of his who were initiates of the Rosy Cross." — Michael Howard – Occult Conspiracy (quoted by Michael Tsarion)

    you're the shareholders of a Federal(foreign) Corporation. wield your power.
    Homeless a while always adding to the file. 
    See I carry this life on my back in a really big pack! 
    Millions are just like me. Paid so many taxes in this land not so free. One paycheck away from this highway. Protect and serve not the word. The elite always groveling at their feet!! 
    Shareholders need Profit! More Profit!! They always need Profit. This is a big problem with Capitalism!! The worker can be replaced with a machine. When nobody is left but the shareholders Profitability will be a non factor
    ((new)) fix This is no longer a possibility. Capitalism as we knew it must die. 
    Even if there was a way to remove government subsidy of these mega corporations.
    The elite have already cashed in worthless paper for solid gold or other hard assets. 
    If this system crashed today the elite would not suffer! The poor and what is left of the middle class will bare the burden.
    After a short period of complete chaos and the starvation, death of millions. 
    These Old Families with very old gold will buy back the Throne and we will hang up this phone.
    Creation of jobs??
    Let's think about that!!! 
    Self driving cars, busses, trains, trucks and planes!!

    People think of your children and the next seven generations!!!
    Are we the living caretakers of this Earth?? Are we doing everything possible to insure a better quality of life for future generations???
    What is left???

  10. Explanation of the bill to change the EC is this: all of state's EC votes go to the candidate who gets the most popular votes nationwide. Slam dunk no pain to constitutionalists.

  11. Abolish the electoral college entirely and don't tinker with an elitist system. Just repeal the 12th Amendment already and be done with it. What other country in the world has a system like that anyway?

  12. Steiner seems totally obtuse in this "interview". Did he do any homework? This interview could have been so much more informative. As is, it is rambling, confusing & cryptic. Unnecessary & wasting viewers' time.

  13. What does it mean to us, tyranny by the dense population centers. Under this fellow’s plan if a small state were to vote largely in favor of one candidate but that candidate did not get the national popular vote, then his law would require the state electors nonetheless to vote against its own people.

  14. This man obviously doesn’t understand how votes add up. His example of Indiana is falls under a popular vote states like Indiana can be completely ignored as it would be far easier to gain far more votes elsewhere no matter what side of the aisle you are on. Indiana would become basically disenfranchised from the process.

  15. Sorry, but this is the dumbest change to the electoral college. He’s basically trying to do away with the electoral college without doing away with it. Then it becomes an unnecessary step in the process in that the electoral college makes absolutely no difference. So if by his plan the electoral college makes absolutely no difference then why have it at all?

  16. The National Popular Vote bill (nationalpopularvote.com) is a state level law which mandates that the state's electoral votes be cast for the winner of the national popular vote. It is written in such a way that it only goes into effect when the number of electoral votes controlled by adopting states is a majority. It effectively sidesteps the electoral college, and is clearly the most likely path to electing the president by popular vote. Warren seems to be calling for a constitutional amendment and has not, as far as I know, mentioned NPV. This begs the question, is she serious about getting the president elected by popular vote, or is she just selling pie in the sky?

  17. Just end America and turn us into a slave camp.
    So sick of all these sore losers, screw them. They want the coasts to rule and the hell with the rest of the nation.

  18. Unknown Electors… tells everything we must know.
    Thanks for the rest important too…
    But hidden electors… ?
    Tells more than anyone wants to know… isn't it?

  19. all stupid side stepping and shadiness. Fix apportionment of house districts. scrap the 435 seat cap in the house. put in place the founders vision of placing a cap on the district populations at 50k.

  20. The only way you will win against trump is to change the lefts idiotic policies, to win an election you need the opposing sides voters to vote for you and that ain’t gonna happen with the current nutter policies ⚠️
    ( ps the reason the electoral college is like it is is to keep the larger poorer areas outside cities with a possibility of having some say over cities full of left wing nutcases )
