I find this electoral college system very fair. Very representative although probably only applicable in the US where states are practically semi autonomous entities within the Federation. Many people don't realize this but the US president basically has very little to do in the actual day to day lives of American citizens. Even the military command is split between the president and the governors with the governors retaining command of the National Guard. "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

So best case scenario each company has 2 manufacturing base. 1 in the US and another elsewhere. The US base manufactures for the US (local) and the other for the rest of the world.

I say let him try. it may just work. he may just hack this. 2) foreign policy - I think the US will change slightly on foreign policy but since they want to continue burning oil they will still need to handle the middle east with caution. This limits their moves. Things that I am concerned about 1) there are groups that have heard the dog whistles are coming out. Immigrants watakipatapata.

The Source of our Rage: The Ruling Elite Is Protected from the Consequences of its Dominance
An interesting stat, the top .01% has seen its share of the household wealth triple from 7% to 22% in the past four decades, while the share of the nation's wealth owned by the bottom 90% has plummeted from 36% to 23%.  This used to be the kind of stuff the Democrats used to fight for! The new deal - everything!  it seems like during Obama's time wrestling this monster became to difficult. Wacha tuone Trump (not a conservative or republican) kama ataweza for his people. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Waaah. Odinga praises Trump election and attacks Obama. Says Obama presidency was “the worst thing to have ever happened to America and Kenya.”. http://www.sde.co.ke/the...ss-sister-begs-for-work
“Obama never did anything for Africans. The most memorable thing Obama ever did when he came to Africa was to flirt with some white woman during Mandela’s funeral. As president, Obama sat back and watched his aunt get harassed by the immigration department and he did nothing, yet Zaituni was terminally sick,”. “Obama’s father was my neighbour in Woodly, Nairobi, he was a wife batterer, a reckless man and never provided for his family. There are days his family would go without food for days on end, and our family would at times have to step in and give them food...I used to separate Obama Senior and his American wife Ruth whenever they were fighting, which was all the time...”. When Obama came to Kenya as Senator of Illinois in 2006, the people of Kogelo slaughtered fattened cows and “the Kogelo people blessed him and he won the presidency, then he forgot about them,” noting that “some of the people in Kogelo are the poorest of the poor. There are no schools, no hospitals, and he has done nothing for Africans ever since he became president.” When Obama became president “he came to Kenya, chose his own hotel and refused to ride in the same car with our president in his specially fitted White House car.” “He gave the opposition a few hours and then went ahead and discussed publicly what he had discussed with them in private, in the process, demeaning a very well respected lawyer.

I have always said elections are wars!! masukuma wrote:True to script! Trumpamba is complaining about the voter registration process. as an election worker I have seen this countless times before... Oh! Deceased People Oh! Foreigners!! And the democrats are responding to it wrongly... amateurs!! Oh! the data does not show this! Oh! the data does not show that! Politicians don't buy narratives of data that say something contrary to what they are believing. Data only works for people like me Perhaps they should learn lessons from the 3rd world that may have been forgotten huko kwa akina @kiash - We have the election process in lieu of something uglier and nastier. Election laws are supposed to do two things 1) DEMONSTRATE OF FAIRNESS 2) PROTECT RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL i.e. be INCLUSIVE. You DEMONSTRATE FAIRNESS to a ll engaging groups BEFORE the process. This is the reason in my opinion the IEBC commissioners had to go - they did nothing wrong but one side did not want them and since we want that side to engage in this election process instead of the ugly, we cede ground. If the process isn't seen to be fair or is seen as a channel to legitimize 'oppression' there is no motivation to engage in it and the ugly thing elections were replacing most likely takes place. Secondly, The law is supposed to protect the individual - not raise the bar of eligibility to disqualify a hitherto eligible person. Any law that requires that this individual jumps hoops to prove elibility infringes on the rights of the individual and if it happens that this individual is stereotypically from a group of persons which is known to vote a certain way - it will be seen as oppression by that group. How do you walk the tight rope then? How do you find middleground? you must engage in dialog BEFORE things get heated! you must DEMONSTRATE that the system is not 'rigged'. For Trumpamba - it's already too late now to change anything. Changing an electoral system right now is reactionary. They will have to wait until things cool down. But they have every right to demand an electoral system that suits them. This will need to be premised on future elections. It's OK to change positions - everything else changes - why not you? As I said elections are wars! we need to engage in them in lieu of something uglier. The Democrats are seeing the system as it is becoming disadvantageous to them - let them complain. even if it's for future elections. Kila Mwamba ngoma, ngozi huivuta pande yake.

What is the difference between a black president and a president who is black? There are people who would say there is none, it's a distinction without a difference. Before I answer it - Let me tell you a story Baseball is a fairly big sport in the US, for the longest time Black people were not allowed to play in the Major league baseball. No man of color, no matter how skilled, was allowed to play Major League Baseball. It represented everything that white America considered American, and it could only be played by white men After pushing and pulling and tugging. The white people that run the league agreed to have a black person play the sport. His name was Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson was a college-educated, former U.S. Army officer from Southern California. Most of the other baseball palyers had grown up under overt racism. Not him. He was the first baseball player who was Black. He did everything required of a baseball player but did not drive the black agenda. No matter how many times white people spat on him or insulted him Jackie Robinson went back to work. He turned the other cheek and worked. Obama is to me the Jackie Robinson of politics. He is the first american president who is black. He is not the first black US president - that one will come! Obama has done his job, he has broken the race barrier. He is like Mandela - break the race barrier and move on. Mandela did not heal SA. No! he was a foot in the door. Huyu jamaa alianguka woodwork - Julius Malema are now the real African leaders and not leaders who are africans. Obama like Mandela did not drive the black agenda nor the african agenda - he drove the American/south african agenda. it's important to have these steps. let's go back into history. The Americans had africans as slaves, then there were laws(codes) that came up that tried to regulate the treatment of slaves - did it fix everything? nope! did it fix something YES. later, there was the emancipation proclamation that stopped Africans from being slaves but did not give them status as full human beings. Did they refuse? they took it. It was not everything they wanted but it was an improvement. They lived under Jim Crow and Then came the civil rights movement that basically made them 'full human beings' with all rights including voting rights. Obama is a first in this journey - he is a cog in the wheel... driving africans forward. did he fulfill our agenda? No! he showed that Africans can make fairly decent presidents. He does not have a scandal around him. A decent narrative of his presidency. He has been insulted by republicans. He has carried the office of the presidency with decency. He has beaten 2 wazungus in campaigns. He is our Jackie Robinson of politics - the first President who is black! We have a foot in the door - in future we will get a Black President -who will now do things for black people. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Several, strong black men brutally assaulting an older white man who their accomplices accuse of voting for Trump. Surely this is despicable ....... Just wait till the revenge attacks come, you will hear "oh, KKK" "oh, racism" "oh, Trump". "oh, this" "oh, that". I will feel nothing if and when they come.

So for those who are complaining about the Electoral College - you will be comforted in knowing that there have been 700 proposals in Congress in the last 200 years to change it. This means that there have been more proposed constitutional amendments to change the Electoral College than any other topic in their law. Apparently it's so difficult to remove the law coz it requires 2/3 of congress it also requires approval by 3/4 of the state assemblies and the smaller states love this system It gives them relevance - Ohio for example loves being a swing state... wanasiasa wanatumia pesa huko sana. in 2012 this is how money was spent - a total of $710 millionQuote:
