Why is it illegal to melt down pennies?

Because they're worth two cents of raw metal.
There's fucktons of pennies out there, and that money just vanishes when they're melted.

Funny enough, I am not a coin collector but I do have a habit of checking the years on any coins I am given or find.

1943 and 1955 are the pennies you need to look out for.

If "true diversity" suggests that all is included at all times, then why is a Black only nation okay? "They're keeping it that way" doesn't answer the question. That statement only proves that you agree with exceptions to the rule.

but its proportional every where, and Trump won more states by a closer margin than Clinton I think

But, the number of "why bother?" non-voters is pretty much unknown, because they didn't bother.
All we can do is guess, and look at the actual margins as a somewhat-useful proxy.

Chances are very good that there's fewer buried democrat voters in Texas than buried republican voters in California and New York.

I imagine theres a lot of "buried" democrat voters in Cali who can't be bothered go vote for Hillary because it's obvious she's going to win the state anyway.

Yes. Switching to a popular vote is going to cause a hell of a lot of voters to suddenly give a damn again.

The electoral system in Article 2 wasn't really created with an intent of a nationwide popular vote for president anyway.

Just keep in mind that all you'll accomplish is shifting "red vs blue" to "urban vs everyone else".

The problem is not that the EC creates divides, any electoral system must. The problem is that it doesn't weight votes equally.

Because, as we all know, Wyoming has been a swing state in more than zero elections.

The unspoken plan behind abolishing the electoral process is to go ahead and let California and New York dictate the rest of the nation. The part that's missed, is that disenfranchised republican voters in those states would no longer be trampled into irrelevance.
As is, 100% of California's votes go to the democratic candidate, give or take 80 and 84. Abolish the electoral college, and maybe 70% of California's votes will continue to do so, probably less.

She is not wrong about the electoral college. It should be done away with; efforts to do away with it should be among the first things Democrats do upon taking power.

All you have to do is get 34 states to agree.

Should be forced to agree at the tip of a gun, honestly.

You'll have to convince 34 states to get rid of all the guns pointing back, first.

That wasn't the original meaning of the term "snowflake," it was supposed to refer to people who place utmost importance on their own feelings and desires while expecting everyone else to kowtow to their own "specialness." It does get confused easily because these same people are typically very frail and emotionally weak.

Not only is there a hell of a lot of overlap, but screeching rage ensues quite quickly when a snowflake's "specialness" is denied, mocked, or even ignored.
