I love how elections are about who has the most votes unless you don’t like who has the most votes. When that happens you call it mob rule. ...
Public schools and social security are bs too. Right? ...

[quote]So you’re in favor of 57 counties in 4 states electing a POTUS. I retract my statement, you must be both A and B. [/quote] Twist and manipulate numbers and call me names all you want. I just want the person with the most votes to win...like how elections are supposed to work. The E...

[quote]You still have not gone into why you think the overwhelming minority in a few counties, should overrule the overwhelming majority in the entire country. Why should 319 square miles decide the will of 3.8 million square miles?[/quote] Because breaking it down by counties, like breaking down...

[quote]It does mean something. If every Republican decided not to vote, then what happens? [/quote] If every Republican decides not to vote in a Presidential election in California nothing would happen. Just like nothing would happen if every single Democrat in Texas decided not to vote in a Pre...
[quote]So you don't want government by the people, you want government by the people that only you support in a given election?[/quote] I want the government that “the people” selected. It’s quite simple. ...

[quote]And Hillary would NEVER lose California. I don't see your point. [/quote] The point is giving the people in California and Texas, all people, ESPECIALLY THE MINORITY (Dems in Texas, Reps in California) a voice. They don’t have that under the EC....
[quote]They only "don't matter" until a party loses those states. You can't tell me that Texas doesn't matter. If Trump lost Texas....THAT WOULD MATTER[/quote] That’s exactly my point. Trump would never lose Texas. He could literally kill someone and most people in Texas would still vote for hi...
I would say Republicans need to do a better job reaching those in urban areas, just like the Democrats need to do a better job reaching rural areas and the rich. ...
EC has always been BS in my opinion. This is not a new belief for me. It’s not a big states vs small states issue for me. It’s the fact that only a few states (Ohio, Florida, Virginia) matter but states such as New York, Texas, Alabama do not. To me, mob rule would be if “the people” made t...
[quote]It's no coincidence that the left are pro-death of the republic.[/quote] Being against the EC doesn’t make you anti-republic. I think the senate and house serve a great purpose in crafting legislation for the people. But the EC is simply bull shite....

[quote] Message If you believe in 1 person 1 vote by Dday63 Do we even have the means to accurately count 140 million or so votes in a Presidental election? Think about Florida in 2000, and then multiply that by more than 20. One unintended advantage of using electors is that the exact vote totals...
Members of the House voting for me would be an indirect vote. Which I’m great with. But when we vote for the president, everyone’s vote show carry equal weight, that is all that I’m saying. ...
[quote]Who cares what anyone wants? We have a Constitution that dictates how all this will work. What we want or don’t want is irrelevant.[/quote] There were many things the Founding Fathers either got wrong or didn’t address, which is why we can amend the Constitution....
BTW, the supreme court isn't seated by popular vote either. I also know that which is why I said congressmen, governors, etc in the previous posts....

[quote]Using your logic we should just be able to have a popular vote on constitutional rights. If 51% of the people think you shouldn't have free speech then it should be so, right?[/quote] Absolutely not. We have the courts to settle constitutional issues. I like for the people to decide who w...
