Mr. Dumb Fuck, Sir:
1) the vote to ratify the 17th Amendment was not unanimous hence it is a nullity
2) there are large parasitic concentration in the large cities ; so by winning in NY, California and Florida a candidate would win the election - effectively silencing rural America
You don't even need Florida.
California and New York alone are enough.
there are large parasitic concentration in the large cities ; so by winning in NY, California and Florida a candidate would win the election - effectively silencing rural America
So one rural vote is worth 100 city votes? Right, glad to see you live in such a 'free' country....
and what's funny is they don't understand why it would trouble some of us that they vote land that has more power per vote than the votes of people.
Mr. Fucktard, the senate is nothing more than another house of representatives which is controlled by masses which have been federalized by largesse. .The Senate seats for each state remain two. Nothing has changed.
I am so tired of parasitic pseudo-libertarianism that can't tell is anus from a hole in the ground.
The proper constitutional process was followed. That you don't like it is an excellent reminder that the American people's choice was the correct one.

IN THE REAL WORLD candidates only have to make an appeal to a handful of "battleground" states, while the can ignore the vast majority of the rest.
Even if the assertion is correct , Battleground states will represent a good cross section of the US population.
Battleground states in the 2012 presidential election
(Reuters) - "Swing" or "battleground" states, which can switch back and forth between the two major parties in U.S. presidential votes and are heavily courted by candidates, will be crucial to deciding the winner of next year's election for the White House.

Democracy..by it's very nature is.."Tyranny of the Majority".
The US is a representative republic. And as such, the Electoral College is necessary to protect the interests of the minority in the presidential election.
Ahh, I see, we have no right to exercise our 1st amendment rights when its not convenient to you, got it.You libs have no right discussing the issue of democracy because you believe in it as a matter of convenience
I'd like to see more states do it like ME and NE, where the electoral votes are divided by district won while the final two go to the popular winner in the state. I think that might bring the tally closer to the national popular vote while still keeping things balanced.
Hardly. Progressives want the US to "progress" to the condition of the USSR circa 1958.Progressives love the Federal government and hate states.
There is not a single state that would have ratified the Constitution if they saw what a mockery Progressive have made of the system
I love the term progressives..
I love the antonym more
It's called being a luddite...
Do you see that as progress? Because it's not.
Why the Electoral College?
by P. Andrew Sandlin
In this atmosphere, the Founders were concerned that a popular regional candidate in a populous area may be able to garner enough votes to win the election, particularly if several other candidates divided the balance of the vote. This regionally popular first candidate would not likely have the interests of the entire number of states the nation itself at heart. If a candidate needed to win only the popular vote, it would possible for him to be elected President without winning a majority of anything. He would not have been elected on the basis of any sort of consensus of the states, but simply on his popularity in a particular state or in two or three heavily populated areas.
Article 2 of the Constitution and its 12th Amendment stipulate that the President is chosen by electors, who are themselves chosen by the state, "in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress." This arrangement obliges candidates to make a much wider appeal than they would if they simply were required to win the popular national election.
The electoral college is a bulwark of states rights yet, perhaps paradoxically, it also tends to foster the cohesiveness of the entire nation. It makes it difficult for more populous urban states, or states with larger populations, like New York, Florida, and California, to gain an unfair advantage over less urban and populous states like North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.
To eliminate the electoral college would be essentially to eliminate the role of states in presidential elections. It would comprehensively nationalize the selection and insinuate that states as such have no interest in national presidential politics. For all practical purposes, it would remove the borders between states and transform the United States of America into the united people of America.

Democracy..by it's very nature is.."Tyranny of the Majority".
Which is why any reasonable person rejects it.
You of the left want power, not democracy. You'll use any means to obtain power, including democracy.
A good read for the electoral college, afterall, it is the United States.
The Electoral College - Origin and History
A third idea was to have the president elected by a direct popular vote. Direct election was rejected not because the Framers of the Constitution doubted public intelligence but rather because they feared that without sufficient information about candidates from outside their State, people would naturally vote for a "favorite son" from their own State or region. At worst, no president would emerge with a popular majority sufficient to govern the whole country. At best, the choice of president would always be decided by the largest, most populous States with little regard for the smaller ones.
Seems that our FF's WERE much smarter than a 5th grader.
Thank you, Asaratis
