Will the Electoral College screw up another election?

[OKTexas]

Trump got 7M votes in California. They were effectively disenfranchised. Biden got something like 3.5M votes in Texas. They were essentially disenfranchised.

Nobody can make a logical case for not giving the voters a voice in electing the president.

What kind of crap are you smoking? If you have a vote, you're not disenfranchised. It's concept so simple even you commies should be able to understand it.

No. They are arguing it no longer works because the population is no longer greatly tied to land size. Electorally voters in Rhode Island are far more important than voters in Texas.

When it comes to electing the president, that's how it's supposed to work. The popular vote elects everybody else, just not the president, by design. What's next, getting rid of the Senate because small states have as many Senators as big states?

Can anyone guess WHY democrats are not complaining about the Senate? Look no further than at who controls it.

Frankly the Presidential vote is ideally suited for a national vote.

See Article 5 USSC and see how far it gets. No way in hell would 3/4ths of the States vote for ratification.

If you mean just count the votes and whomever gets more wins, I can’t agree. There would be no reason to ever campaign outside of a major city.

Electoral votes used to be that popular method, when population was equivalent to land size.

Reducing it to a minimum one vote each potentially, but at least with Senate votes its a statewide plebescite.

They do.

We are in agreement.

Good that you’re finally learning something.

They are examples of what you call "mob rule"

Not really, they simply are not the same as the presidency.

So it is only mob rule when it deals with the POUTS....yeah...that makes a lot of sense....

Learn reading comprehension. I certainly did not say that.

Since they haven’t the collective intellect to work within the 245 year old operating system, the leftard progs can solve their EC problem very easily by letting Texas secede.

The Electoral College is a curse on American democracy! It must be terminated, which I'll never see in my lifetime - but it must be terminated. Presidential elections should be based on PEOPLE - not ACREAGE.

What do you think?

It's time to abolish the Electoral College​

Which election did the electoral college get wrong Lakhota ?

Learn reading comprehension. I certainly did not say that.

Well, yeah you did. when it comes to direct election of POTUS you call it mob rule. when it comes to direct election of anyone else you say it is not mob rule.

None of those other elections are national and involve all 50 sovereign states. There is more at play than some local yokel election. Not sure how you can't comprehend that.

So, mob rule is cool as long as it is a smaller mob.

Got it!

In accordance with the state Constitutions? Sure, not everyone is so intolerant that they would disavow centuries of law and tradition just because their candidate might lose.

So, is this EC a good thing? I don't believe it is.

Prime cause of the present dysfunction imo.

It's apparent that no one knows how this country was created as a federation of individual states, with a designated weak central government to resolve disputes and enable a common defense.

No. It was created to enable money to be collected to pay the war debts of the revolution as the Articles of Confederation were ineffective.

That's why so much of the Constitution is mind numbingly boring as the white, male, property and chattel owning founders reserve as much power to their own class as possible while creating revenue streams.

You guys need some bullshit narrative to cloak everything, don't you?
