Alternative To The Electoral College

[rightwinger]

100% of 100 people involves 100 people.
1% of one million people involves 10,000 people.

But then math hasn't generally been the strong suit of radical leftists has it?

No idea what point you are trying to make and what it has to do with what I posted

 

[braalian]

It is much more fair than the popular vote.

How so? Explain how

 

[cnm]

If the US went to a national popular vote to elect a president then the vote of rural resident would count less than a city resident, cuz they'd be outnumbered.

One man one vote is so passée.

You are too dim witted for an explanation.

One vote is one vote

That’s like saying a pound of lead weighs more than a pound of feathers

Go troll another thread.

No, we don’t

Do you not understand what the electoral college is?

What would happen if the EC was abolished and we went to a popular national vote? Liberals protest than the current system devalues the vote of those living in urban areas, but changing it would devalue the vote of those living in rural areas. I see that as no better than what we have now, all you're doing is shifting things in favor of the big population areas and states. Do you not think that maybe a president and his party would enact policies that are more in their favor?

If there’s more conservative voters in the country than there are liberals (as you people claim), then you do realize the conservative candidate would win the popular vote

 

[braalian]

but changing it would devalue the vote of those living in rural areas.

No, they’d still get one vote per voter, just like anywhere else- including urban areas

One vote is one vote

 

[cnm]

I just did.

No, you used morality, not freedom or profit.

Tsk.

looks like you are too dim witted to provide one

It would only involve the President and the President does not write legislation

Congress would still favor the rural voter

Give him a minute, he’s probably looking up ‘electoral college’ on Wikipedia as we speak

 

[pknopp]

Tsk.

Next time you reply to me, actually have something to say.

 

[MarathonMike]

LAND does not vote
PEOPLE vote

One man, one vote

The States have Congress
Let We the People have the President

If California had a 5 million vote advantage for the GOP, you would be a staunch defender of the Electoral College. You and all the other Regime supporters want One Party Rule in perpetuity.

I have always supported a popular vote for President

A popular vote for President is not one party rule.
Republicans have won the popular vote in the past
Nothing says a Republican candidate can’t appeal to the masses

Like I said. Math isn't a strong suit of most radical leftists.

Your “math” has nothing to do with what I posted

Yes it does. But the math deficient probably can't see that.

 

[rightwinger]

Yes it does. But the math deficient probably can't see that.

Explain how your example has anything to do with what I posted

Rural areas tax base does not pay for the infrastructure and services they receive

Go for it
