Electoral College

[Crepitus]

Yea! Lets let NYC and LA run our country!
And what is the difference between not havin an EC, and all the EC votes goes to the one that gets the popular?

The population of the US is 308 million.

The combined populations of NYC and LA, if they got every citizen to vote the same way, is less than 15 million.

Not sure how a popular vote lets two cities run everything.

But I think it's just you don't like them city people with their edumacation and their culture, is that it, Cleetus?

Better to let 10 backwater states decide the election.

It's not two cities, it's all the individuals in the US.

Are you thinking there are more democrats than republicans?

Getting rid of the EC rids the minority votes.
It has nothing to do with what your party is.

Why should the minority's votes carry more weight than the majority?

Come on, NY and LA and SF are all radical leftist cities ruled by radical leftist politicians.

So you don't think there are any conservatives there?

No, not many they have all moved. I know because I used to live in a liberal bastion. Everyone agrees with everyone else and FOX news, Rush, Hannity, etc. are all VERBOTEN to access. The smart folks move away if they can. The rest walk with their heads down and their MAGA hats in their pockets because these areas have TDSers who are completely intolerant.

I just got back from 5 days in NYC. For every person I saw that had any education or decency I saw 20 pos. If liberals are so educated why are they always begging for free shit from the government.

So then you admit there are more liberals than conservatives.

Why should the minority's votes carry more weight than the majority?

If you are referring to the EC, the Founders saw fit to equalize densely populated geographic areas with less-densely populated areas. Just because a certain geographic area has more people, shouldn't mean they should be able to rule less dense geographic areas especially those that provide food and sustenance. It is not always the densely populated cities that make adequate legislation and decisions for all of America. The EC is actually a pretty weak power for Rural-America and typically agrees with the popular vote but, when it doesn't, that signals a population shift away from progressive policies, political correctness and Neo-Marxist ideals.

 

[JoeB131]

The Electoral College prevents a minority of highly-populated geographic areas in the U.S. from tyrannic rule of a small geographic area but less densely populated area over a less populated but much larger geographic area.

So instead the small geographic areas with less people in them have tyrannic rule over the majority? This by you is a good idea.

Hey, have you ever met the inbred, bible thumping morons who live in the Red States? You wouldn't want these people running anything.

It's not two cities, it's all the individuals in the US.

Are you thinking there are more democrats than republicans?

Well, let's look at that.

The Democratic Candidate since 2000 has average anywhere from 48 to 55% of the vote.

The Republican Candidate has averaged between 45% and 51%. The only time they crossed 50% was after 9/11 had us so paranoid we were willing to believe any horseshit they told us.

Yes, yes, there really are more Democrats.

Why do we care what a bunch of dead, racist, slave owning assholes thought? These guys weren't holy and they didn't shit marble.

Just because a certain geographic area has more people, shouldn't mean they should be able to rule less dense geographic areas especially those that provide food and sustenance.

Um, no. You see, this is where you are confused. The ONLY reason why the dumb inbred, bible thumping morons in Flyover country can afford to live on Farms fucking their cousins is because those dun-der city folks subsidize them. Except even that is becoming less true because those family farms are being increasingly replaced by factory farms run by big corporations. But because the dumb, inbred bible thumping morons don't realize the One Percent are the ones fucking them,

The EC is actually a pretty weak power for Rural-America and typically agrees with the popular vote but, when it doesn't, that signals a population shift away from progressive policies, political correctness and Neo-Marxist ideals.

Not really. What made the difference this time was Hillary won a horrible campaign. The morons in the Rust belt believed Trump's lies that the factory jobs were coming back, but those jobs were replaced by Robots a long time ago.

Yup, you get the same response from a MAGA hat you get from wearing a Klan Robe and a Swastika armband, and for pretty much the same reason.

 

[longknife]

Would be a good idea since the electoral college gives certain peoples vote more power than others.

You clearly do not understand what it is, do you?

 

[JoeB131]

You clearly do not understand what it is, do you?

We understand perfectly well what it was for.

The EC was put into place because the Founding Slave Rapists, for all their talk about "equality" and "liberty", really didn't trust the common man. They wanted a buffer in case some people decided, "Hey, you know, this system kind of sucks, let's abolish slavery".

The EC failed in it's initial purpose. They had to modify it severely with the 12th Amendment after the 1800 election turned into a shit storm where Aaron Burr tried to pull off a congressional coup and get himself appointed President.

The thing is, our system has buffers like the EC to keep something like Trump from happening, but our politicians are too afraid to implement them. If the EC worked the way it was supposed to, the Electors would have said, "Jesus fucking Christ, Trump is nuts!" If they didn't, Congress should have.

If you really want to live in a One Party Rule Socialist Nightmare, try Venezuela

Yawn, guy, if we become a poor country with a single commodity that loses it's value AND the rest of the world decides to economically punish us because they don't like our economic system, then we'll be Venezuela.

They were a one commodity country BEFORE the Socialist Leaders stole BILLIONS.

That's what happens when you convince enough gullible people that they will be BETTER OFF after they surrender their weapons and freedom to their Socialist leaders

You do realize that not all 308mil are eligible to vote, right? LOL

Your posts are always very amusing.

That is such an ignorant statement. People in MAGA hats don’t want to put my people in ovens and Nuke Israel. You need to stop spreading your stupid propaganda. I will call you out and embarrass you every time you do.

Because colonization (westward expansion) was still underway. In case you hadn't noticed that's been over with for a while now.

Uh, guy, Venezuela was a sucky place to live for most of it's people LONG before the Socialists got there. That's how the Socialists got voted in to start with and won a bunch of election since.

Naw, they want to do those awful things to Mexicans, who are actually kind of decent. As opposed to the Zionists, who deserve everything they have coming to them.

 

[Pilot1]

The Electoral College has worked exactly as it was intended, and should since the Constitution mandated it. If you want to get rid of it, lobby your politicians to call a Constitutional Convention. The Constitution. Has been amended many tomes before, so it can happen again, For example we amended it to install Prohibition, then amended it again to repeal it, so it can be done.

However, be careful what you wish for, as others have said, no matter where you live, nor what you want NYC, and L.A. Metro areas will dictate to you and do what is good for them, not you. We will become one Collective morass, and your state will be meaningless. The only politicians that will matter will be in D.C. and good luck pressuring them. They are too far away, and too insulated to care about you.
