    On the contrary, I have continually said over the years there is little difference between the parties.
    I am voting Trump because he is not going on a political war against industries I find important. We can not continue the same policies the Biden administration has set forth. I have absolutely no confidence Harris will change. Even Biden himself said Harris was fully aboard the parties policies.

    It's you who continue to believe your party is morally and ethically superior. They are not. They are not the party of JFK/1960s. They are greedy and power hungry and put their own self interest first.

    War on what industries? Biden more manufacturing is being done in the US, more Oil is being drilled, and more infrastructure projects are being done right that have been done in decades.

    Those states would have a voice because they have representatives and Senators. With the popular vote every citizen whether or not they live in New York or North Dakota would have one equal vote. Every single citizen's vote would count as much or as little as every other citizen's vote.

    There would be not state tally of votes by states. It would simply the number of citizen voters that voted for each candidate.

    The majority of people in this nation favor the popular vote model. Tim Walz is on the side of the majority of citizens in this country.

    You can definitely disagree with that, but it isn't any radical position by Tim Walz.

    If this was remotely true, majority of voters would vote candidates who would change the system.
    The reality is the majority of people who vote for a candidate who wins the popular vote but not the Ec b**** and moan.

    Complaining about the EC is a losers moan.

    Its nice that you pretend voters actually get what they want. If they did, abortion access would still be widely available. It takes a constitutional amendment to change. In today's political environment, there is a zero chance of changing the US Constitution. We can't even pass bi-partisan legislation.

    As another poster noted you're going to have to specify what industries Biden is waging a war on as manufacturing is up and domestic energy is up.

    Also Trump can't decide if he's for EV's or not. As just in the last week he has been on both sides of them.

    But this goes to a point though. Everything you accuse Biden and Harris of Trump is much worse at. It's not even close. Again that's not me saying that Biden / Harris is morally superior. These are people who actually served in the Trump Administration.

    Compared to the party of Trump? Yes, they are. It’s a low, low bar.

    I already posted the pew research. You can point why you disagree with them.

    Space and energy, but specifically Space. Propping up losers like Boeing is not productive either.
    M&As need to open up also. It is way too restrictive right now.

    Abolishing the EC is nowhere on the political radar.

    And again domestic energy production is higher now than it is while Trump was President. Also we are still spending a lot on space. Whatever Biden or Harris might personally think of Elon Musk they haven't cancelled any of his Space X's contracts.

    On several of the issues that Trump championed both as President and now as candidate the Biden Harris Administration has delivered on and even exceeded.

    Domestic energy production is higher including oil.
    https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61545

    More actual infrastructure is being funded and built rather than infrastructure weeks.
    https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3684

    Domestic manufacturing is increasing.
    https://www.nist.gov/el/applied-eco.../manufacturing-economy/total-us-manufacturing

    This includes high end chip manufacturing.
    https://www.semiconductors.org/amer...2032-the-largest-rate-of-growth-in-the-world/

    Even regarding the border crossings have decreased in the past year thanks to the Administration's Executive Orders
    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-mexico-border-migrant-crossings-reach-new-biden-era-low/

    I will say it is a fair question about how much Harris as VP is responsible for these but she has said she will continue Biden's policies and push for even more legislation on these issues.

    Boeing does more than just space. Has Trump proposed breaking up Boeing…

    … or is this just another Elon lust thing with you?

    As far as energy goes…. Oil companies are actually profitable and we are investing more in many types of energy that we have ever been.
