Walz says abolish the Electoral College

[Curried Goats]

Wrong many sit on the Government dole !

The unemployment rate is at 4%. Even the majority the people receiving some sort of assistance are working.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Certain precincts tend to favor Republicans just like certain precincts tend to favor Democrats.
And currently it doesn't look good for Harris as Republicans tend to vote on election day itself. (Just tendencies I'm quoting here...)

If (big if here) Harris does indeed win VA....it will be by a very slim margin...handful of votes totalling between 1-3%

Again, there are far too many variables to account for that could change those trends.

Here’s What Biden Admin Apologists Aren’t Telling You About the Unemployment Rate

Americans consistently voice their disapproval on the state of the economy in recent polls, largely because of the stratospheric cost of living.

What is that article supposed to mean to me? That the unemployment rate could be as high as a whole ass 7%? Wow. Does it ever support your claim that Republicans are the party of work, whatever the **** that means? Nope.

 

[martybegan]

Nebraska has that and there was an attempt to do away with it.

I disagree with that. 2 EC's up for Statewide grabs and the rest by congressional district would be worth it for both sides.

Republicans pickup rural areas in blue States, Democrats urban areas in red ones.

 

[JoeB131]

But California and NY are in play?

No.

Do you Trump Cucks do special exercises to stay this stupid?

That would work if there wasn't so much gerrymandering.

Hey, here's a crazy idea. ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE

That's called the House of Representatives, and your local State elections.

 

[JoeB131]

That's called the House of Representatives, and your local State elections.

With the level of gerrymandering, the House isn't representative at all.

 

[martybegan]

With the level of gerrymandering, the House isn't representative at all.

Part of the system.

And people still have their State governments as well.

If our founders wanted all power at the federal level and equal distribution, they would have went with a parliamentary system, but they didn't.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Wow, so you think that your fellow Americans are like starving cannibals?

So at least you are honest enough to admit you oppose democracy.

Everyone sane opposes total democracy. (Except people like you, not intelligent enough to understand.)

Anolgy escapes you. No surprise

Everything escapes Joey.

No one was advocating total democracy, Ditchweed.

Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz said on Tuesday that the “Electoral College needs to go,” forcing the Kamala Harris campaign to release a statement saying it does not support abolishing the Constitutional mechanism for presidential elections.

At two campaign fundraisers on the West Coast, Walz called for abolishing the Electoral College, arguing that it forces candidates to focus too much attention on a handful of battleground states, The New York Times reported.


“I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote,” Walz told donors at California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s home in Sacramento. “So we need to win Beaver County, Pennsylvania. We need to be able to go into York, Pennsylvania, and win. We need to be in western Wisconsin and win. We need to be in Reno, Nevada, and win.”

At an event earlier on Tuesday, Walz told supporters that he is “a national popular vote guy, but that’s not the world we live in.”

Following the Minnesota governor’s call for the Electoral College to be abolished, the Harris campaign said in a statement, “Governor Walz believes that every vote matters in the Electoral College and he is honored to be traveling the country and battleground states working to earn support for the Harris-Walz ticket.”

Comment:
The Democrats claim that they are saving our "democracy".
But at the same time, they are attacking the foundations of our country.
The Electoral College strengthens our pluralistic election system.

I’m not worried about it. You’re not going to get 38 states to ratify it, nor will you get the 2/3 house and senate to pass it

Kind of stepped in it, didn't he? I see this come up, time and time again, almost always by politicians, and political groups that are certain of winning the popular vote, by a significant margin.

The Campaign was right to submit, they do not favor removing that check and balance on our national elections.

Actually, most Americans would like to see the Electoral College go.

Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College

63% of U.S. adults say the way the president is elected should be changed so that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the presidency.

Then you should have no trouble getting 38 states to ratify the amendment.

 

[JoeB131]

Probably not... we should make it discussion point in every election, and long term, you will lose.

The problem is, the Democrats probably don't really want to run 50 state campaigns.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Probably not...

You;'re lying to yourself.

I am slow to change, and do not favor a strictly popular vote, viewing having to win in the electoral college, part of the checks and balances, the found fathers wrote into the system. It has worked well, up to now, and I do not favor changing it, simply because it would favor the Harris/Walz, preferring to figure the system still works, and willing to live with the results.
