It talks about weighing it to make it fair, bu the only place that actually works out is Maine and Nebraska, the winner take all system is far from fair.

Thank you now it's almost clear.
But Nebraska and Maine are why exceptions?

They do not have a winner take all system like the rest of the states, so not all their electoral votes will necessarily go to the same candidate.

Yeah, i had a little bit going through my mind of what you are saying while watching this vid.

I think it is a bad system, because I think some states purposely allow illegal immigration, to bump their voting power up.

Also in America, we were founded as a protestant country, so the Vatican has long been at war with us, trying to take us over.

Considering most illegals that come here are catholic and Obama and Bush appoint mainly catholics, maybe the Vatican has.

Also I think Austrailia has the best voting system there is. I studied it when I was in college. It makes alot of sense.

Dude I will pay for your plane ticket here to show you that Americans don't have bombs or soldiers running the streets. Come here and you will realize that Americans are not the bad guy. Besides we don't think Socialism is evil, a good majority of us know that it just does not work. It's been proven so many times from the Bible to the Soviet Union.

Dude, pay yourself ticket to Iraq, and you will see that Americans have bombs and soldiers running the streets. Besides, if you (USA) are not against socialism why you organised the Could War? Destroy something, and then say it never worked! American logic! Like, steel it, and then tell the angry owner feels envy. :) The world would have been much safer if there was no USA! USA is the evil empire!

dude my younger brother is fighting in Iraq as I fought in the first war. Americans aren't really doing anything. Nothing is really happening. Except I am disappointed with what is going on. Americans used to take used magazines and throw it against Iraqi cars that got to close to them. Now dudes in the Army are taking rocks and throwing them at incoming traffic. When Americans leave fight for another country we usually treat them like shit.

Sorry to say, but Soviet was a communistic country, not socialistic. There is a big difference. Communism is more radical, and is in favor of the state ruling everything. While socialism is less radical, and while they want a strong government they have free trade, and they do not try and stop privatization.
Just saying.
