    Lol, Veep covered that too.
    Apparently it was the 12th Amendment, which became superseded by the 20th.

    What happens when there's a tie?

    Everybody goes online to try to find out
    what happens if we get a tie.

    Way ahead of you.

    Shit, I'm just getting how to tie a tie.

    Is there a book? Like an old-fashioned...
    Like a paper book?

    Jesus Christ, you know?

    You do your best.
    You try to serve the people,

    -and then they just fuck you over.
    - Yeah.

    And you know why? Because they're ignorant
    and they're dumb as shit.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is democracy.

    God damn it.

    It's the Twelfth Amendment.

    - I have Twentieth Amendment. Yeah.
    - Why are there so many amendments?

    Get it right the first time, people.

    It's actually both.
    Twelfth is superseded by the Twentieth.


    They give the House until January 20th
    to elect the president.

    Each state gets one vote.
    First candidate to 26 is the new president

    and the Senate chooses the VP.

    It's a close election
    with a ton of House races too close to call.

    - What happens if it's a tie in the House?
    - Right.

    Is it a dance-off?

    Well, vice president-elect becomes president.

    Whoever the Senate has picked for VP
    will be president.

  3. Whoa, just think about how the ones who howl over just the Electoral College would howl over that.

    So for example, Maine gets the same vote as California or New York.

    Awesome. As it should be.

    Biden says we are looking at the wrong polls,what polls are we supposed to be looking at ? These are the same polls that predicted every popular vote winner over a year in advance in every election since 2008.

  9. What does that mean to remain where they are.... really tough to get a gauge from a poll without knowing the framework of the questions... salaries have increased obviously in this inflationary environment but most people I know are spending way more money and then claiming they are struggling.

    Overall the economy is measured with bull shit macor factors so I dont know if the economy is doing amazing or horrible because to put it bluntly we are a consumer economy so no one gives a shit what we produce...only what we buy and we will see that this Xmas shopping season.

    Suffering in an economy is extremely subjective when we dont know if they asked upper middle class or middle class people in the poll or measured earnings of the lower class compared to what standard of living costs are versus their growth in earnings. Obviously people laid off or who cnat find work naturally are struggling.

    But I sniff a bunch of entitled polled people throwing in some political bias or ignorance on finances in their answers.

    People blame the president for high gas prices so that could afffect answers but gas just dipped nicely...did Biden do that? restaurants are more expensive but eating in is still relatively cheaper.
