The Electoral College

[RetiredGySgt]

The electoral college is based on the US being an agrarian society, something it no longer is. Today 62.7 percent of the US population lives in urban areas. The founding fathers did not foresee this. The electoral college favors rural areas and gives them more vote per person than people in urban areas. They are also as a population less educated than urban people. They also tend to be more conservative. This is the reason why the two elections in recent times where someone has won the presidency not by the popular vote but by the electoral college have gone to Republicans. Of course Republicans favor keeping the electoral college, not because it is the 'right' thing to do, not because the US is a republic rather than a democracy, but because it favors conservatives over liberals. It's like affirmative action, which they hate. It is affirmative action for conservatives.

The electoral college doesn't take into account what you do for a living or your education or whether you're a liberal or conservative. It simply gives equal voice to those living in smaller states.
Two elements of the “Great Compromise” among the large and small states led to the ratification of the Constitution. A House of Representatives would reflect the popular vote—disadvantaging the small states—but a Senate would give the small states equal representation with the large ones.

This idea was carried through to the Electoral College, where each state’s allocation of electoral votes is simply the total of its representation in the House and Senate. This again gave the smaller states some additional power in the important choice of the president.

Leaving aside the fact that a deal is a deal, there are very practical reasons why we will always need the Electoral College under our current constitutional system.

Bill Clinton won both presidential elections with less of the popular vote than Donald Trump received.

It doesn't give equal voice to anyone.

In the Presidential Election only 12 states get to decide the President, and most of these states are in the top 50% for population. Let's just say Wyoming doesn't get a say at all, even with 3 times the voting power of those in California.

You want equality, give it through PR, so every individual gets a say in how their OWN COUNTRY gets run.

This what the electoral college reflects. Even you can't honestly say that Hillary Clinton should have won, based on the popular vote.

Maybe that picture misleads you, but it doesn't mislead me. It shows a lot of red covering areas that are not highly populated and blue covering areas that are highly populated. She won the popular vote by millions. Three more million Americans voted for her than for the orange clown.

All in California. Before California was counted Trump was up by a million. Sorry but one State does not get to decide who the President is.

California doesn't decide the vote. They just vote later than most of the country because of the time difference. The majority of the people in the US decide the popular vote. Again, the fact that California's votes were counted last does not mislead me, though it apparently misleads you. It's not a matter of one state electing a president, if we went by popular vote: it's a matter of Pacific Time versus Central and Eastern time: DUH!

LOL You're ridiculous. It doesn't matter when the vote was counted; the overall vote across the country is what counts. It's just amazing your brain power isn't enough to understand this simple issue. California votes later because it is in a later time zone. Their votes are counted later. It's the overall vote that counts. Across the country. Good God, it is too simple. Maybe ask someone to help you out with this: maybe a statistician or mathematician.

You are being mislead. Those red areas sometime have just as much population as the blue areas, but they are not infested by liberals in high quantities.

Look at Kentucky.

There are three blue counties in the entire state. They are the the counties that contain:
1) Louisville (mostly minorities)
2) Lexington (university and minorities)
3) Frankfort (state capital government workers)
The other 117 counties are red.

Look at northern Florida. There are blue counties that contain:
1) Tallahassee and its suburbs (government workers and minorities)
2) Gainesville (university)
Compare that to Jacksonville, which has a much larger population than either of those areas combined, but it is entirely red.

That's the point: Red areas are rural areas with conservative populations. The electoral college gives them more vote pers person, which tilts the election in favor of the conservative candidate.That is why in the elections where the winner does not have the popular vote but wins the electoral vote the conservative candidate wins. No wonder you people don't want to get ride of the electoral college.

No, it doesn't. LAND does NOT vote. You're cherry picking maps to try and support your case.

This is the reality.

In Germany where they vote FPTP and PR on the same day, in 2017 8% of people changed their vote from the larger parties to smaller parties under PR.

In Germany they have six parties in the Bundestag. In the US the third party has no seats in the House, no seats in the Senate, no appointees on the Supreme Court, never had a President. They have 2 Senate seat out of 2,000 in states and 3 House seats out of 5,000.

There is no way in hell that the most of the US public is either Republican or Democrat and nothing else. 94% of the US public is represented by these two parties.

I know this because every free election with Proportional Representation sees the main two parties getting much less than 94%.

Germany has 6 parties in power. The main two parties got 53% of the vote.

In the Czech Republican the main two parties got 40% of the vote

In Indonesia the main two parties got 34% of the vote.

In Paraguay the main two parties got 70% of the votes.

The US looks like a dirty dictatorship where people are forced to vote for the dictator and his puppet shadow party.

This is the thing about the cons here: you cannot conduct a discussion without being incredibly disgusting. It clarifies the level of your intelligence and intent. The electoral college gives rural areas more weight per individual vote than urban areas. That is a fact. It is tilted to favor conservative areas: fact. I'm done here. I don't discuss anything with loutish neanderthals.

Good riddance. Perhaps you can find solace in the arms of your useful idiot liberal friends. From conservatives, you will be habitually exposed to the raw truth. Liberalism is a fucking mental disorder.

National Popular Vote

The National Popular Vote interstate compact would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The National Popular Vote bill has now passed a total of 35 state legislative chambers in 23 states. The National Popular Vote bill will take effect when enacted into law by states possessing 270 electoral votes (a majority of the 538 electoral votes). It has been enacted into law in 11 states possessing 165 electoral votes (CA, DC, HI, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NY, RI, VT, WA). The bill will take effect when enacted by states possessing an additional 105 electoral votes.

Purdy funny there partner. Each state that approves is definitely snowflake and thus deep blue.

Changes in the Constitution do not happen by getting a majority of electors. Very stupid and short sighted especially on the smaller states, HI, RI and VT where doubtless butt hurt abounds..

When state with less than a million people gets the same number of Senators as a state with 30 million people,

that is simply undemocratic. You can make any argument for it that you want, but in doing so you are making an argument for undemocratic government.

It gives all States, the actual members of the US, equal say in Congress.

The 3 million ALL came from California before California was counted Trump was up by a Million VOTES. California ALONE changed that. What part of that don't you understand?

LOL You're ridiculous. It doesn't matter when the vote was counted; the overall vote across the country is what counts. It's just amazing your brain power isn't enough to understand this simple issue. California votes later because it is in a later time zone. Their votes are counted later. It's the overall vote that counts. Across the country. Good God, it is too simple. Maybe ask someone to help you out with this: maybe a statistician or mathematician.

The red text is in error. If you believe that, why discuss the topic with you?

Oh please. Come on. Are you that stupid too? The overall vote is what counts. Not the amount of votes in one state or when those votes are counted.

Where did you get that stupid idea? Read your Constitution dumb ass!

That's what the thread is about. Do you have your head so far up your own ass that you cannot see?

This is the thing about the cons here: you cannot conduct a discussion without being incredibly disgusting. It clarifies the level of your intelligence and intent. The electoral college gives rural areas more weight per individual vote than urban areas. That is a fact. It is tilted to favor conservative areas: fact. I'm done here. I don't discuss anything with loutish neanderthals.

OK. Let me explain in it to you in word you might understand!

You don't have a fucking clue as to what you are talking about! Educate yourself!

Clear enough?

Good riddance. Perhaps you can find solace in the arms of your useful idiot liberal friends. From conservatives, you will be habitually exposed to the raw truth. Liberalism is a fucking mental disorder.

Your filthy mouth indicates the level of your intelligence and character. And the level of your discussion: in the gutter. No wonder you worship Trump: peas in a pod.

The fact of the matter is that you are the one who doesn't get it, or doesn't want to. Wilful ignorance.
