Democrats are out of touch with America

Democrats are out of touch again, imagine that. In the wake of Hillary Clinton’s electoral college loss to Donald Trump, some Democrats have been scrambling to introduce legislation to do away with the electoral college. Naturally, the left wouldn’t care at all if states such as California and New York decided presidential elections. They sneer and look down their noses at people in flyover country.
Their crusade to rid the country of the electoral college is going to be more difficult. Recent polling shows support for the electoral college has spiked sharply since 2011.
Americans’ support for keeping the Electoral College system for electing presidents has increased sharply. Weeks after the 2016 election, 47% of Americans say they want to keep the Electoral College, while 49% say they want to amend the Constitution to allow for a popular vote for president. In the past, a clear majority favored amending the U.S. Constitution to replace the Electoral College with a popular vote system.
Some of that shift can be attributed to increased Republican support in the wake of the election results; it’s not like it spiked in the last year. The change shows the line of support growing steadily, and fast, over the previous five years.

Popular vote is a bad idea for picking presidents. We need to keep the status quo.

The biggest problem with eliminating the Electoral College is the West Coast. The Democrats would simmply organize a system to wait until they knew how many votes were needed to win .....then finish the counting

I had this conversation with a fellow liberal and he flat out said I was just succumbing to my racist tendencies that are fueled by ignorance and privilege. I'm not friends with him any longer.

Once the SCOTUS is picked Is it possible to have some sort of "voter reform" passed to where all states must comply?

If the shoe were on the other foot, this board would be shitting all over the EC. Trump would be tweeting about how unfair it is again. You know I'm right.
Now send me another meme!

Par for the course for a low-IQ Hilltard like yourself.

Your post is a hypothetical. It's factual that Donald J. Trump will be your next president. Deal with it.

The whole idea of getting rid of the EC is such a nonstarter that it really shows the ignorance of anybody who argues it. It is laughable that you would find 10 states willing to concede their voting power to the big states, much less the 38 you actually need to amend the Constitution.

They're more in touch with America than the Republicans are, and the voting tally confirms that.

For a national democracy, yes the electoral college is no bueno. For a republic like we are supposed to have the electoral college is precisely what is needed.
