I'm not talking about the Electoral College per se. I'm talking about the "winner takes all" rule, which is not dictated in the Constitution.

I agree that there was an attempted coup- but not from the side you're thinking of. It seems that the courts agree with me- including Trump appointees. In any case- that isn't the main subject of this thread. The election is over, for all practical purposes, and I am curious to why we have this...

Now that the election is behind us, I've been wondering about the Electoral College. One of the odd things about it is that in most States, whichever candidate gets the most votes gets all the electoral college representatives. What is the logic behind this approach? It's not in the...

Great. And I'm glad that it's denounced. But don't go around pretending it's an exclusive Left disease.

This is either baloney, or a "True Scotsman" fallacy. https://www.wgbh.org/news/commentary/2020/08/28/anti-semitism-trump-and-the-republican-convention https://www.newsweek.com/jewish-groups-blast-trump-anti-semitic-remarks-1476116...

read the link. In case you missed it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Jamnia The Council of Jamnia, presumably held in Yavneh in the Holy Land, was a hypothetical[1][2][3] late 1st-century CE council at which the canon of the Hebrew Bible was formerly believed to have been finalized...

Foundation- yes. Agree- no. Aren't there verses in the NT that suggest giving away property?

Ah, the well-known council of Javneh, which likely never happened.

Is there a mismatch between the Old and New Testaments on this topic?

What do you think is the reason?

Maybe. but I suspect that the behavior of the Catholic Church over many centuries wouldn't exactly meet with Jesus's approval either.

I would venture a guess that the Eastern Orthodox Churches would say exactly the opposite, and claim they are the true original Church. Mind you, The Coptic Church is pretty ancient...

Why ironic? It simply missed the boat canon-wise.

I am sure you can find articles on line that explain this. I do not represent "all Jews", nor do I understand American Jews political thinking. I don't even live in the US. Can you explain why "Catholics" vote how they do?

You will have to get past the stereotypes, and ask Jews, one by one. Jews are not a monolithic block. And guess what? Republicans and Democrats are not monolithic blocks either, despite all the identity politics going on. I can venture a totally wild guess about the last election: If the...

I am quite aware of antisemitism in its many forms. Neither the right nor the left have a monopoly on it. It does seem to be a Western disease- you don't see it much in Asia. Historically, the Church is responsible for much of it. But- what is your point in these threads about antisemitism, or...

Actually, I speak English quite well. Do you understand English. I am not "the left", and there is plenty of racism on the right as well. In your twisted world, "left"= "evil", and since racism is evil, it must "belong" to the left.

? ? Your posts have stopped making sense. what in the world are you trying to say?

Oh, I get ruffled sometimes. There are odd things in this world. In most of Israel, for example, Muslims and Jews get along just fine. Better than Christians and Muslim get along in some countries. Not that you would know it from the news. The US has become very tribal. Ms. Trump Gurl...

Did you ever read the book "When Prophecy Fails"? It's worth a read, though it is dated.
