Everyone's vote does count the same. Your question makes me think you need a Civics refresher...as does your love of Gary Johnson

Re: POTUS 45.2 - Same arguments, different sides
You wouldn't be giving the power to "a state" and in fact that's exactly how representation is currently applied in the Senate in many instances. A state like CA has three dozen districts representing a wide variety of interests. Northern California is not Silicon Valley, which is not Los Angeles which is not San Diego... They're never going to vote in unison.

But still not violent.
I'm not so sure the suburbs make it allowing to label the metro 7-county area deep-blue. There's roughly 3.5-3.8 million in the metro (depending upon the source) while Mpls/St. Paul combined have what within their actual borders - 700k?

Re: POTUS 45.2 - Same arguments, different sides
Actually most of the world is stuck on the two-party paradigm, the UK, Canada, and Australia certainly are (outside of localized parties like the SNP or Bloc Quebecois). Germany would be as well if they didn't use MMP. The FPTP system pretty much locks you into a two-party system as explained in this video.

Careful, Sic, Joe the Plumber will be coming for you. The U S of Gud Dam A does not learn from what other countries are doing. Other countries learn from us.
Are you some kind of socialist bistard?

Says the guy in Nebraska
Nebraska outside of Omaha and the Badlands is just as bad, especially along the i80 corridor. But considering Omaha by itself has more people than all of Wyoming...
And I live in Iowa now, anyway. Have for the last 8 years.

I know how I could get people to like the current President...
Donald Trump (D)
Of course, then the other half would hate him...

We're all just a bunch of electrical impulses, as proved by how you can use a defibrillator to shock someone back to life. Of course we'd have a binary way of thinking.

Draft EOs obtained by the WaPo seem to indicate trump is considering deporting legal immigrants.

The Democrats would never support him as a candidate. Only Republicans would choose a bigoted, childish, lazy, narcissistic fool who cares about noone but himself.

Re: POTUS 45.2 - Same arguments, different sides
Listening to XM POTUS on my drive in to work and Mitch McConnell made me want to drive off the expressway and hit a tree.
He said he is expecting a fight from the Democrats on the nomination, but was happy that there were a few Dems who publicly gave their support for the nominee; it showed that "there were some Democrats with an open mind in Congress."
Holy fu**. The Republicans have their heads so far up their own a**es. The only Republican to even entertain Marrick Garland was kid diddler Rich Hassert. And that was only to take the heat off of his situation. Think about that. The rest of the congressional Republicans were too busy jerking off to photos of Paul Ryan holding a pair of scissors to a PPACA pamphlet that they couldn't be bothered to even pretend to care about anything Obama did.
And now they want congressional Dems to "have an open mind?"
Fu** them.

Re: POTUS 45.2 - Same arguments, different sides
As someone that lives in a National Park town, I know I speak for many when I say "over my dead body". And for the idiots that said "both choices are bad", this is another example where Clinton would have been infinitely better than Trump -- you can be **** sure she would veto the bull**** like this that is going to come out of Congress.
Our national parks are our nation's greatest treasure. Protecting them is the greatest give we can give future Americans. We won't go down without a fight.
I know lots of park rangers. They've been hindered by inadequate budgets for decades. What maintenance money they do get, it goes into visitor-facing projects to keep the best visitor experience they can, while they make due with substandard and outdated administrative and maintenance buildings and poor seasonal housing. They don't fill science-based roles when they become available because they can't lose any more law enforcement, entrance gate, and visitor center staffing. Here in Acadia, they are worried they won't be allowed to fill the dozens of seasonal positions they need to run the park during peak season, when they can get 3 million visitors. Right now they have a skeleton staff of year round employees, and now is when the usually start the process of finding the seasonal employees but they don't know what is going to happen. We already have a private group that is funding trail maintenance and hiring 'ridge runners' to educate visitors about leave no trace or assist hikers that need help, and they are trying to become the first 'friends group' to fully endow a National Park trail system, because they know Congress is never going to fund the park enough to keep up with maintenance. I spend hundreds of hours a year volunteering in the park (some carriage road cleanup, but most of my volunteer time is on the Search and Rescue team). To me, harming our National Parks and other Federal Lands is probably the most troubling thing that will come out of the Trump administration because in many cases it will be impossible to undo.
