So move out of Chicago.
The riots over Floyd were bad, but in a different way. Because what was attacked, I consider the attack on the Capitol to be worse. Even though it was less destructive in a material sense it was more destructive to our nation.
Unfortunately it does create a tyranny of the minority.
That's just silly. You folks use only the most extreme examples which are not actually representative of the nation as a whole. In fact what you want is tyranny by the minority by allowing a few very large population centers to dictate to all. No thanks.
If you look at polls of what the majority supports and compare it to legislation being passed or blocked it is pretty evident that a minority is dictating policy. Another indicator is when a candidate wins the electoral vote but loses the popular vote.
Let me say something I know you understand and support:
Not true, each vote in Congress is accountable to the constituents of each district. Nobody can keep voting against the wishes of their constituents long.
So, that lecture you gave me awhile back about pigeon holing a whole group was bullshit?
I disagree. If the EC is integral to the election process then it needs to be fair and transparent. Currently it is not. There is one EC vote for every 253,000 Alaskans. There is one for every 718,000 Californians. That is patently unfair. The Alaskan has three times the voting power when it comes to electing the president. Why should they get that?
Does it? If you are a Republican living in California, your vote means nothing. If you are a Dem in Alabama, your vote means nothing.
And doing away with the EC would change none of that.
Not seeing why that is a good reason for the EC. What youare saying is that if you live in a sparsely populated state, your vote should count for more.And doing away with the EC would change none of that.
Considering how fucked-up LA County is, they have no business telling all those other states how to live their lives.
Odd, then, don't you think, why you keep advocating Communism? You know it doesn't work, but you keep demanding it.
Oh, you're not at all concerned about the equality of voting power. You just want the liberal enclaves to run the country.
You know full well that JobB eats, drinks and shits racism as an explanation for everything.
Obama did a good job?

You might want to recheck your facts. LA County has a population of just over 10 million. Michigan alone has 9 million people....And doing away with the EC would change none of that.

You seem to believe the misconception that people elect the President. We don't, and never have; the States do. Each State's Electoral College votes are derived from a combination of their population, and their status as an admitted State, not just from their population alone.
This is why I'd support a ban on State-level winner-takes-it-all Electoral Vote allocation; every state should be proportional, the way Maine and Nebraska are now. That was the original intent, until the Jeffersonian ploy to give Virginia more power at voting time.
