It’s pretty simple logic that the popular vote is more indicative of what the majority of Americans want. That’s pure democracy.Trumptards need to admit this simple truth: if Hillary had won the electoral vote but lost the popular vote, they would to this day claim the election was rigged and that abolishing the electoral college would have ensured Trump’s victory.
Instead it was Trump who won the election but lost the popular vote. Therefore they pretend they never said the election process was rigged and that Trump’s victory was completely legitimate and we NEED the electoral college.
In other words, you agree that your support for getting rid of the EC is purely partisan. Thanks.
We do not have a 'pure democracy' and shouldn't because dense population distribution is skewed to a few American cities that are supported by less densely populated States that would be forced to accept legislation that may not pertain to them and even be destructive toward the American geographic economy. The result of 'pure democracy' is to make some people more equal than others. Here is a rather stark example of a 'pure democracy.' Let's imagine 7 people in a lawless land. 5 men and 2 women. The men vote and pass a resolution to rape the 2 women. The resolution 'passes' and, of course, the women get raped.
