The Electoral College is as outdated as the 2nd Amendment

[buckeye45_73]

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.

But we have both to stop you socialist bullshit. Too fucking bad for you

So, thanks to the founders' lack of foresight - we're going to get fucked tomorrow!

Right, they didn't foresee the states losing their sovereignty. How shortsighted of them.

it is not outdated, if anything it is more relevant now as there are large populations in a very small area of the country. The founding fathers did not want mob rule they wanted equal representation

Never mind the Washington Redskin… he gets into the firewater quite often.

Nah. It's bad enough that fraud in Chicago can impact Illinois' electoral votes, it would be far worse if Chicago fraud could impact the entire nation.

Maybe you should move somewhere more in line with your mental illness? Popular vote rules all and firearms are outlawed. Lots of places more suitable for the likes of you than here. Bon voyage.

I'm just trying to help prevent you radical NaziCon gun nuts from ruining it for the rest of us who support reasonable gun control legislation and strict enforcement.

Your ignorance and stupidity was too much for me to stay quiet.

Up to 1967, it was legal to sell and ship guns through the mail, no background check existed then. No mass shooting sprees in schools, stores or other public places happened, with the exception of the 1966 tower shooter, who unfortunately was a trained sniper, who had a big tumor in his head.

Up into the 1960's, it was legal to carry rifles in the vehicle, even in plain sight in some areas, No mass shootings happened at all except the occasional mob killings. The murder rate PEAKED way back in the early 1980's, has not been close since the 1990's when concealed carry became legal in many states, it is now around 50% LOWER than the early 80's.

LINK

America leads the world in number of guns per capita (by far), yet NOT in the top 50 murder rate per capita. Despite the massive increase in Concealed Carry permits, the crime rate went DOWN after 1990, when most of the states were allowing Concealed Carry.

Despite DOUBLING the number of fire arms in the last 30 years, coupled with massive increase in legal carrying guns around on the street, concealed the Crime rate went down and stayed down.

You are at odds with the second amendment, with the co sponsors of the second amendment, and with many democrats who in the classic liberal days also revered the second amendment, such as Hubert Humphrey, Scoop Jackson, and JFK.

If you bothered to pay attention to demographics of the shooters, you would have noticed they ALL had something in common, they were mentally ill and/or on behavioral drugs. Those are the people who have done these mass shootings the last 3-4 decades, thus laws will not stop them, but vigilance, drug rebalilitation and take guns out of mentally ill people can make a big difference.

For those who give a shit - the wording of the 2nd Amendment is confusing.

Confusion: The wording of the Second Amendment

I notice that you are too ignorant to realize that a couple of human beings co sponsored the Second Amendment way back in 1788-89, do you know what they said about it?

Hint: It is in The Federalist, oh sorry you didn't know such a book existed...….., I have a copy in my book library along with a few other books about Gun rights over the years, and what the Founding Fathers had to say about it.

So how can it be racist when Obama won the electoral college twice or is this just a Pavlovian response for you now ?

The Federalist? I thought we were governed by the Constitution - not the opinions or intentions of prior writings. BTW, what does The Federalist say about the 2nd Amendment and bearing arms?
