FIRE IN THE HOLE

Ezra Klein readies the next leftist line of attack.

I don't think people are ready for the crisis that will follow if Democrats win the House popular vote but not the majority. After Kavanaugh, Trump, Garland, Citizens United, Bush v. Gore, etc, the party is on the edge of losing faith in the system (and reasonably so).

Seriously, kid?  If a Republican wins, say, District 3 here in Missouri but the nationwide House popular vote favors the Democrats, the Missouri District 3 Republican congressman is illegitimate?  Seems that that would make every single winning Democrat congressman in this country as illegitimate as that Missouri District 3 Republican congressman.

After all, it's the same election.  Why would one election be illegitimate but not another?  Unless, of course, you think that only Democratic Party wins are political legitimate in which case...

Okay, now I'm getting it.

UPDATE: Right on schedule.

UPDATE: Once again.

Whoever heard of the "House popular vote" before? They're preparing to lose, and developing a "resistance" explanation for their loss. The past two-year tantrums, and this one, are protests against the American constitution and system of government. Don't want to be American, Ezra? The other places probably won't take you, and most of them aren't good choices.
