BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards... Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state. In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California. Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times. Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course. The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more. Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes). 10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50. 222 + 50 = 272. And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact. In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states. States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election. We can fix our democracy. The time is now. Please ❤️ and share if you support this idea!

BREAKING: LOSER! Trump lashes out like a whiny child as the BLUE TSUNAMI washes his failed presidency into the history books once and for all. Your reign of terror is over bozo! "I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP" he wrote on Truth Social. You can tell from the uncharacteristically short message that this man is absolutely SEETHING in the White House right now. We might need to raise taxes just to pay for the paint and wallpaper once he's done hurling ketchup-loaded hamburgers at the wall. For the record, if Trump had been on the ballot, the Democratic turnout would have been even more impressive. Americans hate this man. The exit polls showed that voters were angry about gas prices, the affordability crisis, and the rampant corruption. Trump's approval rating was historically low for a President in the midterms. Results are still rolling in, but just a few highlights include Democrats flipping Senate seats in South Carolina as well as the long-awaited BLUE TEXAS!!! The Lone Star State will get its first Latina Governor in Gina Hinojosa and James Talarico is headed to the U.S. Senate. Tonight amounts to nothing less than a resounding, unprecedented, and unequivocal repudiation of the MAGA movement. Americans are sick of pedophiles running this country, of endless wars and skyrocketing gas prices. Now, with the House and the Senate in our control we can launch investigations into EVERY crime that Trump and his cronies committed over the past two years. Judgment Day is here. Republicans should be terrified. Please ❤️ and share if you're a thrilled Democrat!
