If you think Kamala Harris is the only one on the ticket having fantasies of massive changes to the American form of government, think again.

Information has leaked out about Tim Walz’ big plans for America’s election process during a high-dollar fundraiser held in the home of California Governor Gavin Newsom, and those changes aren’t small by a longshot.

In fact, it appears Walz is going for the gold standard in Marxist revolutionary thought — destroy the electoral college, a pillar of Constitutional Republicanism.  And when your goals are a pure democracy and the simplicity of dealing with that mob mentality to get what YOU WANT… the electoral college becomes a serious thorn in your flesh.

Here’s the full text of Charlie Kirk’s post, for easier reading:

BREAKING: Tim Walz calls for eliminating the Electoral College while fundraising at Gavin Newsom’s Sacramento private residence.

“I think all of us know the electoral college needs to go.”

Add it to the list:
– Packing the Supreme Court
– Adding Puerto Rico and DC as states
– Shredding the Freedom of Speech
– Destroying 2A with “mandatory” gun confiscation
– Eliminating the benefits of US citizenship
– Abolishing the Senate filibuster
And more…

The party of “protecting democracy” despises America’s constitutional republic.

If you’re wondering what the common theme in all of that is, I’ll remind you: it’s globalism.  Specifically… it’s globalism on steroids, in it’s ultimate form.  Global governance.

I’m not saying that all those things lead to global governance.  What I’m saying is… once you accomplish all those things, you take away the one thing that STANDS IN THE WAY of global governance — the ability for the American voter to hold sway in America, and the inability of an elected leader to go full-tilt in the direction of global governance without being brake checked by the American people; making America a true hinderance to global governance.

Because trust me — they WANT to go “full global governance”.

And that electoral college is one of the few remaining things barely keeping them from doing it.

According to USA Today, here’s what went down at the big party over at Newsom’s place in Cali:

Walz, the two-term governor of Minnesota, brought up the Electoral College – the system used to elect presidents since the nation’s founding – while speaking to supporters at a Kamala Harris campaign fundraiser at the Sacramento home of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote,” Walz said to applause from donors. “But that’s not the world we live in.

“So we need to win Beaver County, Pennsylvania. We need to be able to go into York, Pennsylvania and win. We need to be in western Wisconsin and win. We need to be in Reno, Nevada and win. And the help that you give here today helps make that happen,” Walz said.

Getting rid of the Electoral College is not an official position of the Harris campaign, a campaign official told USA TODAY.

Democrats have won seven of the last eight popular votes in presidential elections dating back to 1992. And in two cases, Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Al Gore in 2000, Democrats won the popular vote but still lost the Electoral College.

Most polls have Harris leading former President Donald Trump nationally in next month’s election, but it’s a much tighter contest in the race to 270 electoral votes. The outcome will likely be decided by seven top battleground states.

And one of the reasons that is true, that there ARE “battle ground states” to begin with, is because the electoral college negates many of the effective “cheats” that would be too juicy to pass up if the current system were not in place, effectively refusing to reward those “alternative” methods of gaining the upper hand on election day.

In other words, the electoral college forces candidates and elected office holders to play by a specific set of rules that makes them lean strongly against simplistically leveraging mob rule; a key trait of a pure democracy.

Of course, Kamala would love for that outcome, as well.  But her campaign is smart enough to keep her mouth shut about it, and to push back against Walz’ big mouth when he opened too wide and said the quiet part out loud.  Here’s more from that USA Today story on all that:

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz endorsed abolishing the Electoral College during a Tuesday fundraiser, prompting his own campaign to distance itself from the position.

“Governor Walz believes that every vote matters in the Electoral College and he is honored to be traveling the country and battleground states working to earn support for the Harris-Walz ticket,” a Harris campaign spokesperson said in a statement. “He was commenting to a crowd of strong supporters about how the campaign is built to win 270 electoral votes. And, he was thanking them for their support that is helping fund those efforts.”

And that was of course far too wonderful of a target to expect the Trump campaign to pass up.  And they did not.  Walz is overstepping, saying too much, making Kamala’s presidential run look dangerous to voters?  No, no — we can’t have that.  So, like a little kid, the Kamala campaign took his hand and walked him back, putting words in his mouth that he never meant to say.  And like I said, the Trump team pounced!

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt couldn’t get to that issue fast enough!  She knew Walz had overstepped his bounds, and she knew Kamala’s campaign had put him back in his place.  But it didn’t matter — the damage was done.  The only thing left to do… was exploit it, and make sure the whole wide internet world knew about it in the hopes that OTHERS would join in and spread the news even beyond Karoline’s reach!

And… that’s what happened.

CBS News quickly ran a story on the incident that almost reads like a mouthpiece of the Kamala campaign, pushing Tim Walz back in his assigned box.

Getting rid of the Electoral College is not a position the campaign holds, a campaign official said.

The comment from Walz, and the swift clarification, comes just days after he told Bill Whitaker on “60 Minutes” that his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, said he needs to be more careful when he speaks.

The Electoral College was established by the Constitution, so changing it would require a Constitutional amendment. But calls to do so have gained traction in some Democratic circles, such as after 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by about 3 million votes, but lost the electoral vote to Trump. The same occurred to former Vice President Al Gore in the 2000 presidential race.

I’d like to leave you with a little amplified explanation of what I think Scott Jennings was saying there.  What do you do when everything else you’re doing doesn’t work?  That good old cognitive dissonance kicks in, and says… “It’s that things fault!” or, “It’s their fault!”  And… “If it wasn’t for THOSE PESKY KIDS”… sorry, had a childhood cartoon flashback — but you get the picture?

When what you’re doing doesn’t work, you tend to blame everything else except the approach that you’re “married to”, so to speak.  Why?  Because if you admit that the approach wasn’t working, you are by definition admitting that YOU CHOSE A BAD APPROACH.  It reflects badly on YOU.  But psychologically, you have tools in your toolbox to mitigate how bad you allow yourself to feel about yourself.

So, in a nutshell, it’s easy to say “everyone knows we need to get ride of the electoral college”… because it puts the responsibility for your failure, or potential failure, on that thing, rather than on YOU.

Scott Jennings is, therefore, dead on with what he’s saying.  He is recognizing the fear-based panic setting in, because with that electoral college system in place, YOU CAN NOT MANIPULATE THOSE PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO ACCEPT YOUR NARRATIVE.  And if your vote generating methodology RELIES on manipulating people into accepting your narrative… (acceding to mob rule) that means you can’t win if the system is DESIGNED TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THAT METHODOLOGY!

Is that clicking?  I honestly don’t think most people realize that is one of the primary reasons that electoral college was put in place by the founders of our nation.  These were REALLY sharp fellas, and they worked REALLY hard to devise a system that would give us every chance in the world to MAINTAIN OUR LIBERTY and MINIMIZE THE CHANCE OF TYRANNY — including the tyranny that arises from the evils of pure democracy; namely, mob rule.

Tim Walz wants to get rid of the electoral college for a reason, and for a feeling.  He “feels” like he needs something else to blame — and he’s right, unless he’s willing to exercise what someone like Jocko Willink would call “Extreme Ownership”.  But Tim Walz would much rather exercise “Extreme cognitive dissonance”.

But I said he also wants to get rid of it for a REASON.  That reason is a full awareness of what the electoral college does, and what is possible if it is removed.  What it does is safeguard our constitutional rule of law.  And what is possible if it is removed?  A better question from a governance standpoint might be — what is NOT possible, at that point?
