This debate about the EC has been going on my entire life. The party that is not winning the popular vote will always oppose a Constitutional Amendment because the EC provides them with a path to winning. Two thirds votes in the House of Representatives will never happen without the minority party voting for it. It has outlived its original purpose of EC representatives needing to travel by stage coach to deliver the votes from that state. It now serves a completely different political purpose.

Those swings states change every election cycle. Georgia has been a red state for 100 years, but it switched to blue the last two cycles. The EC forces candidates to go to all states. You never know when a state will swing. Pennsylvania and Florida are swing states this cycle, but they have not been in years past. With a country as large as the US and a population that is always in a constant change due to migration for better jobs, it is easy to over simplify the effects of the EC, but the main effect is all states remain important, not just the large populated states.

The Electoral College is the only thing that keeps New York and California from determining every presidential election. If it wasn’t in place 80% of the US would have no say in the presidential election.

Remember when Boehly was being advised on club matters by James Corden….James fucking Corden!
-
One thing that is for sure. Having owner partners trying to assume complete control and neither side wanting to sell out. Stability is not happening soon. This drama is a bit much
-
Under Boehly the 1 billion in money promised was being blown through with nothing to show but severely over paid players that flopped. He was also in no hurry to set up the core people to run the club. All the people that are running the club currently were set up by Eghbali. Please do point out what structure Boehly put in place
-
If you read what he says, he wants Chelsea winning in the worst way. He just fucked up thinking Brighton people are looking at winning now instead of finding these diamonds in the rough. After we pulled them away from Brighton, Brighton spends the most in the PL window.
-
I hope Eghbali wins out. All the improvements in ownership structure has come from his people.

Kevin Hart explains. 😂 Although it might only be applicable in America.

American sports is all about entertainment. You can go to a team this is terrible, but if they have an entertaining stadium, people will line up and buy tickets. I think that is why banter is so much more brutal in club football.

Please be for reals!

Bournemouth West Ham Barrow Brighton Gent Forest Maresca better get all those points because after that it is... Liverpool Panathinaikos Newcastle Man United Noah Arsenal

His offer from Chelsea was 150k with incentives that could take it to 300k. He might not like that he has to earn the other half of the offer.
-
Fofana declined France call up.
-
That was crap the entire second half!
-
Last ten minutes was just waiting for the half to end. Thankfully we didn’t get burned for that. First twenty minutes was great.

Beautiful

COYB!!!
-
Yes both out until after the international break
-
I am pretty excited about this game. Our starting XI that is playing PL seems to be gelling a little more every game. I hope we continue to see progression.

The full quote Jadon Sancho on what attracted him to #CFC. "Chelsea is iconic. My idols growing up were Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard and now I have the opportunity to play for this club like them. It’s a great feeling. "I think it’s the manager who really drew me to the project. I knew him from his time with Pep Guardiola in Manchester City. He spoke to me on the phone about this project and what he was building here, and for a young player like myself it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get started. "They’re signing me for a reason and to contribute to the team, and I’m ready to do that. I enjoy his style of play. The wingers when they get on the ball, he loves them to go one versus one and be direct. We play a lot of one-twos with the 10s and the striker combination plays. It’s very attractive and it’s a style that I play."
