The Electoral College is as outdated as the 2nd Amendment

[ptbw forever]

Presidents should be elected based on national popular votes - not electoral votes based on acreage and just rubber-stamped by partisans!

Popular vote - not acres!

In each state, whichever party garners a majority of popular votes, regardless of how narrow the margin, wins all the electoral votes. By forcing residents in each state ultimately to vote as a block, the system is supposed to ensure that small states' interests are not drowned out by those of larger states.

Democracy is one of the most outdated political systems in human history.

Only if you want stupid people to rule the country. The Founders figured out that stupid people are stupid and need to be controlled.

Stupid people will rule either way - so let the popular vote decide the outcome.

Nope, far better to put off stupid people rule for as long as possible. Leads to less mass murder which is the final result o stupid people rule.

Each state gets to elect their own local, state, and federal representatives. BUT, the popular vote should elect the president of all the states.

None of you complained about the Electoral College until you couldn't win it.

I've always thought the EC was a dinosaur. It needs put out of its misery. Two of our worst presidents failed to win the popular vote - Bush Jr. and Trump. A total of FIVE presidents in U.S. history failed to win the popular vote.

Ignorance and evil. It’s what we are fighting and there is no part of the constitution they don’t hate.

Deciding a presidential election in a country the geographical size of the U.S. using popular vote alone is not truely as representative as the electoral college.
One party could rule because they controlled a few population centers, but the rest of the country may have different needs. It makes more sense to win majority votes in more places throughout the country then having an election decided because of New York City and Los angeles and a few other large population centers.

That's a poor justification for EC. People matter - not acreage. States get to elect their federal representative. The people (popular vote) should elect the president.

No, what you don't see is a few very large population centers are much easier to bribe and control than an entire country. And what does someone who lives in Los Angeles necessarily know about the life of farmers throughout the midwest or North Dakota. Someone like Hillary or Warren in office could do an amazing amount of damage in a short period of time.... thank god for the EC
