I'm voting for another four years of Trump!

We have reached a point in history where the prez should be decided by the popular vote...problem with that is republicans won't have it because they know that would put them at a disadvantage.

Its politically impossible right now because getting rid of or even changing the electoral college would require an amendment to the constitution and that would take years to pass and probably wouldn't becausw there are just too many red states for that to be realistic.

That said, to be balanced, if the shoe was on the other foot the dems would be just as reluctant to amend the constitution in a way that decreased their short term political power as a trade off for a more democratic way of deciding things.


One way to make the electoral college more democratic would be to make it proportional. Meaning if you get 80 percent of the vote in a state, you get 80 percent of the electors for that state.


Republican rhetoric around impeachment was driving me crazy when they kept saying that trump won "an electoral landslide." First off, the fact that they had the chutzpah to qualify his so called landslide as an "electoral landslide" when he lost the popular vote.

And second of all, if hilary won Pennsylvania and Florida, both of which Trump won by THE SKIN of his teeth, he would have lost and lost "big". That is NOT an electoral landslide.

Yeah he was funny and "just telling it like it is" when the stakes were/seemed low but now you have a pathological liar telling all of us false things about a national crisis it seems like we might as we as well go all in on crazytown right? You can't drop a grand on a single slot machine and then start playing another one!

Do you listen to podcasts?

One that is fun that i listen to but that can be hit or miss is Girls Gotta Eat. The target audience is clearly young women but they still crack me up sometimes.

Also there is a DnD playing podcast called Nerd Poker that is basically a comedian, Brian Posehn, playing DnD with his friends and hilarity often ensues. There are lots of DnD playing comedy podcasts that can be great. Adventure zone is a pod that was originally about DnD that is hilarious. They changed the game to something less rules based and i dont like it as much so i stopped watching it.

There are tons of improv comedy podcasts. Probably the most famous one is Hello from the Magic Tavern. That started out hilarious in my opinion but got much more hit and miss as it continued. Anothe creative one is Off Book which is an improv comedy musical pod. So they basically spin improvised broadway style comedic tunes on the spot.

Improv comedy can be great but i find it loses its freshness after a while when the people are doing it every week.

I also love anna faris is unqualified which is a romantic advice podcast but with a comedic spin.

There are more i cant think of at the moment.

What Is The Difference

This seems like a question best resolved with a dictionary.

In any case the obvious difference is the pre-fix, "re."

Both words have more than one definition so the exact difference in meaning varies according to context.

In general a reaction is a type of behavior that is a consequence or result of a specific action.
