As a non-partisan, I saw the SOTU address as a declaration of war...

    I would gladly hobble out to take a bullet for the American constitution and all the patriots that still know what that is rather than a slow, torturous death by socialism and communism

    Nor me. It's awesome to live a life where I don't have to read a partisan memo to decide if I approve or disapprove of any particular activity.

    Ballot box indicates election by popular vote — which, no — you do not have.

    That is false, it is usually republicans that bring it up or outright threaten it. I am happy to condemn this campaign staffer however — will you condemn the Republican senators, lawyers, staffers, officials and even the President that has discussed it?

    You are fully aware of the fact the President is not elected by popular vote, and yet there is still an election - a ballot box - for President.

    The ballot box is irrelevant if they dump out the votes and elect who the elite want...
    But yes, just keep thinking you have a real say.

    If only you could demonstrate that's how we elect the President - eh?

    That only happens in the primaries, where the DNC tries to make the rank and file think it cares about their opinion when determining the Dem candidate for President.

    Electors are not required to vote for who the citizens vote for in many states.

    That's how the DNC rolls but I was unaware they were pulling for President Trump. Oh well, learn something new every day.

    Thank you for the confirmation that you cannot demonstrate we elect the President by "dump[ing] out the votes and elect[ing] who the elite want.."

    And, of course, the fact remains:
    You are fully aware of the fact the President is not elected by popular vote, and yet there is still an election - a ballot box - for President.

    As it should be, anyone threatening, calling for or insinuating civil war would be immediately removed from office.

    That still doesn’t negate the original point.
