Walz says abolish the Electoral College

[Mr. Friscus]

Let’s put 2 starving canibals and Tim Walz in a cage and they can vote on whether it’s moral to eat people and who gets eaten

 

[Curried Goats]

how about we go with 1 vote per state? Maybe 2.

majority vote gets the state., majority of states gets the presidency.

How about just one vote per person? Why are you clowns obsessed with anthropomorphalizing land mass as if it cares who the President is?

It was instituted in 1787. Good Lord

And gave slave owners extra voting power based on the number of their slaves. It's like you whites are ashamed of the whole history of something....

 

[Anathema]

Does this guy realize that without the Electoral College his state of Minnesota becomes just as much forgettable flyover country as Iowa and Kansas to the big old East and west coast political establishment types?

Blacks/slaves had no vote in 1787. You can't possibly be this stupid... well maybe

 

[jackflash]

They want a system in place, where they will never lose the presidency.

The statist left are doing a pretty frigging good job & losing the White House this time around for sure. That statist left religion/ideology is just obsoleting the statist left marxinazis into obscurity.

Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz said on Tuesday that the “Electoral College needs to go,” forcing the Kamala Harris campaign to release a statement saying it does not support abolishing the Constitutional mechanism for presidential elections.

At two campaign fundraisers on the West Coast, Walz called for abolishing the Electoral College, arguing that it forces candidates to focus too much attention on a handful of battleground states, The New York Times reported.


“I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote,” Walz told donors at California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s home in Sacramento. “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.”

At an event earlier on Tuesday, Walz told supporters that he is “a national popular vote guy, but that’s not the world we live in.”

Following the Minnesota governor’s call for the Electoral College to be abolished, the Harris campaign said in a statement, “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.”

Comment:
The Democrats claim that they are saving our "democracy".
But at the same time, they are attacking the foundations of our country.
The Electoral College strengthens our pluralistic election system.

Why not just convict and impeach the electoral college and then pack the electoral college like they want to do with SCOTUS or any other governmental body they don't have enough control over?

Or just assassinate them because that is just how the DNC rolls

Yet the electoral college allowed slave masters to use them to get extra voting power as the deplorable white population of the south continues to do.

No it didn't. You're failing at a miserable excuse for a strawman argument. It's tiresome

It did. Saying not uh doesn't change the fact that its written in the constitution you illiterate Moron.

Oh sit down. You're utterly incapable of learning a damn thing and you're annoying

I annoy you because you have no intelligible response to my facts. You amuse me because these facts trigger you into stupidity as a defense mechanism.

Seriously

No bitch, I think I'll stand here and wait for you to play stupid some more. It's the sort of entertainment you can only get from the deservedly weak and feeble.

Stand and wait. I'm done with you. You're ignorant. Buh bye

 

[IDIOCRACY]

Leftists don't see a problem with big city californians electing a POTUS every four years. Meanwhile, the State is a piece of shit. Don't expect leftists to comprehend cause and effect. They don't think that way.

Um, the EC is anti-Democratic. It only enfranchises people who are lucky enough to live in a swing state.

It's a mechanism devised by slave rapists to keep a balance of power that failed.

It was time for it to go a long time ago.

 

[jwoodie]

That's ironic. The electoral college was imposed by a dictatorship looking to take the free will of slaves and suplant them to serve the desires of slave masters. Have none of you morons ever read a history book? Do they not have books where your people are from?

There is a difference between knowing history and being shackled to it.

Wow, so you think that your fellow Americans are like starving cannibals?

So at least you are honest enough to admit you oppose democracy.
