Will the Electoral College screw up another election?

[cnm]

The COTUS does not mandate winner take all for the EC.

It leaves it up to the states to appoint electors, right?

adding 3/4s for every slave.

3/5ths I thought.

edit...done, I see

As though the Legions were bastions of democracy.

Look jackal, first of all, WHO is a slave owner?

As a class, the loonies who promulgated the Federalist bullshit about mob rule, whose mantra you've adopted.

So you want Los Angeles county to have more say than 43 of the 50 states?

Anyone who thinks Americans have value must want that.

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.

Why We Should Abolish the Electoral College​

It is there for a good reason.

 

[cnm]

Our Presidential election process (via the electoral college) makes it difficult for a party to win by focusing on only the most populous demographics. For example, it's really hard to win by focusing on urban voters and dismissing rural voters.

Sorry, not sorry.

Seven swing states out of the whole country, isn't it?

Courtesy of the EC.

 

[cnm]

Nope. The founders were wise enough to allow amendments to the constitution. Slavery is already taken care of.

Ah. The Civil War must have been taken as a given requirement for an amendment.

 

[cnm]

Did you ever stop to think no other country is as great as the USA because of the constitution?

Nah, that's just propaganda you're fed from birth.

In this case, the ideal of individual freedom eventually won out, and defeated slavery,

It was a civil war to preserve the Union that did that, Shirley?

I think you're an ignorant fool. The electoral college should be expanded to counties too to stop large cities from destroying an entire state: Detroit in Michigan, Chicago in Illinois, St Louis in Misery etc.

 

[cnm]

But the ideal of freedom is still with us. I think that's a good thing. If you don't, sorry. Not sorry.

When the ideal of freedom embraces chattel slavery I'd say you're fooling yourself.

What?? You think the value of freedom is a fairytale? I don't. And it's our dedication to that idea, rather than the people who promoted it, that finally got rid of slavery.

No, war time exigency.

If you are for CA and NYC deciding the president every time, then get rid of it.
If you want a more even representation accross the country, then keep it.

What say you commie?

White men did start slavery. They ended it.

He is. All Democrats want a straight DEMOCRACY.

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.

As opposed to seven swing states?

 

[cnm]

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.

How big does a mob have to be to be called a mob?
