How a candidate can cheat the presidential election process.

The electoral college is the current way that the president of the United State is elected. The electoral college works by each state having a number of electors that are equal to the number of US senators it has plug the number of US Representatives. The problem with electoral college is that you don’t vote for your candidate, but you really are voting for your elector to vote for your candidate.

To learn more about the electoral college, please watch this video.

Lately there has been lots of controversy about the electoral college. There are some people who are saying that the electoral college is unfair. The other option is the popular vote is when your vote goes directly to the president and not to a elector. The problem with the electoral college is that even though that the popular vote wins for, say Obama. The electoral college can be higher than the popular vote, causing, say Hillary Clinton to win. Some people also say that the electoral college could be corrupt because even though you voted for a specific candidate, your elector could vote for someone else. These are the problems of the electoral college, now its up to the government to change our outdated system. I really can’t say it much better than this video:

A fix to this problem could be changing the electoral college system into the popular vote system. This would require a amendement to change the Article 2, Section 1.

The Front Page Of The Internet.

Have you noticed most of my blog posts are about the internet? Well this on is about a website called Reddit. Reddit is like the newspaper of the internet, it has links that people submit to different categories (Funny, WTF, gaming).  And it starts in the new sections, people then either “Upvote” it or “downvote” it. If it gets enough upvotes it reaches the Front Page.  So its like a newspaper with their different categories. Theres also a community feel to it. when people upvote your stuff you get “Karma”. For some reason people really like these invisible internet points that mean no significance to them and cannot be redeemed for anything. They think its some kind of accomplishment to people.  Theres a section of the site called “IAmA“. On this section famous people answer questions from the community. People like Barack Obama (Which got so much traffic that it took down the site), Psy, Steven Colbert,  and many others have done a “IAmA” .

Joining reddit could be hard as the website is very minimalist, which is nice once you use it. There are apps for reddit that make it look much better and you can use it on your phone (BaconReader and Reddit is fun for Android and AilenBlue for iOS) What I have found out from being on this site for a while is people have much for confidence when they are behind a computer and anonymous. They could be real jerks…which is most of the time, or be real nice.   So the next you get bored you should check out Reddit!

Dancing Guy Shows Leadership [Review]

When watching this video I almost puked. It did have a good message but couldn’t they invest in a $5 camera stand or maybe stay off the coffe before fiilming. Also the guy who is filming doesent go in and be leader even when everyone when up there and it was safe he didn’t go dance, he must be terrible at dancing or something.  Also his voice….Its sounds just like a typical NPR commentator or as I like to call it “The NPR Voice” when you have this voice you are born to work at some radio station talking about local politics. So overall what do I think of this video? Very interesting.
