The United States is the only country that elects a politically powerful president via an electoral college and the only one in which a candidate can become president without having obtained the highest number of votes in the sole or final round of popular voting.
—George C. Edwards, 2011
Why do we need to stick to outdated legislation when it comes to one of the most important political decisions in the life of the whole country? Why not popular vote? We believe in equality and democracy but for some reason let somebody decide the fate of of this country for us.
Every election year, we go through this. "It's old and doesn't give me what it wants, so it's outdated." Take a civics class and grow up.
it gives none except special interests what they want.
Well, that's certainly your opinion, especially since mob rule would give YOUR special interest what you want.
"mob rule" ..please....lets talk reality......it would benefit the whole nation
Oh, well, if YOU say so, it must be true. Why bother with that whole silly "substantiation" thing? Surely I respect you and your wisdom enough to just take your word for it.
And maybe flying monkeys will shoot out your ass.
