Time to just move to a popular vote. Don’t worry about states anymore.

Why this is not done I really don’t get. Only thing would be one party would be substantially weaker but would be forced to figure things out better.

So you favor mob rule?

No thanks

You want to be governed by just California and NY?

Double no thanks

This wasn’t done because 3 states would then control the outcome for the entire country.

It would not be representative of the states - which is the point of having states to begin with. They fought for representation, and each state must have a say.

This post illustrates the failure of our school system. Everyone should know this.

Yeah let's allow the crazies in California and New York pick our president every election. What could go wrong?

Of more people in a country want a certain President then so be it. If you don’t like it come up with better candidates or move.

You don’t sound like a bright guy if you can’t see the problem with that

Do you not know there is a Constitution, or not care?

Sure...

Let's have the entire country ruled by 10 cities.

Why even have state borders?

Or state governments?

If the majority of people elect someone to a national office then so be it.

What's most concerning is you are allowed to vote and don't even understand how voting works in this country

What is so scary about the concept of the majority vote winning. Only could be fear that you will not win because as you know you may not be in the majority.

We are a union of states, and each state has a voice. That is representation.

The founding fathers were quite brilliant to ensure a few mega-tropolis areas don’t decide the outcome of the entire country.
