The insanity and stupidity of the undemocratic Electoral College explained

[Into the Night]

No; I am saying that without the electoral college, a majority of smaller States would lose representation. We are a Republic of States, not a pure democracy. It prevents high population states like Texas, California and New York from deciding every election.

No State is a democracy either. Each State is a republic, with the current exception of California, which is no longer a State since is no longer honors either the Constitution of the United States nor it's own State constitution.

The United States is not a democracy at all. It is organized as a federated republic.

The now disgraced electoral college is ultimately at fault for putting this demagogue, tyrant and thug tRump on civilization and humanity to be a menacing tyrant in violation of U.S. Constitutional law. This includes tRump who's mission is to destroy democracy, the lawful rights of all, the well being of society and the common decency of civilization. Therefore, as a result of tRump and his team of goons being criminals against humanity as a threat to the global economy and humanity, the electoral college at outliving its usefulness should be dismantled and done away with forever. As demonstrated as a result of this tRump atrocity, the electoral college has become very dangerous and destructive because if it were not for this corrupted electoral college in cahoots with antigovernment conspiring GOPer cronies, America would truly be great again.

It makes perfect sense to someone who isn't an uneducated dumbass. We are a Republic of States. Without the EC, three or four states would decide the outcome of every election.

The founders we extremely intelligent and smart in how they constructed the Republic to prevent it from becoming a third world Fascistic shit hole the Democratic Party of the Jackass would turn it into.

Bingo.

Isn't it sad when we have to educate the idiots here who actually graduated from High School? It is a sad testimony to the failure of our liberal controlled educational establishment.

I think you are giving the liberals on this board much too much credit. At least the ones I have been conversing with.

 

[dukkha]

Let him whine if it makes him feel better. The Constitution will not change.

bingo..more TDS whining . The EC is well crafted to take in the states and the peoples representation.
It follows the same representation as the body Congress

They put the thug Obama and the thug Clinton in the White House too, you know.

on civilization and humanity to be a menacing tyrant

Trump is no tyrant.

who's mission is to destroy democracy,

There are currently no democracies in the world.

the lawful rights of all,

* It is the Democrat party that wants to take away my guns, denying me my right to defend myself and the 2nd amendment in the process.
* It is the Democrat party that wants to lock people up for what they say about global warming.
* It is the Democrat party that wants to support bigotry and racism.
* It is the Democrat party that wants to take the money I earn and give to someone else that isn't productive.
* It is the Democrat party that wants to ignore or overthrow the Constitution of the United States.

the well being of society

* It is the Democrat Party that.... I'm not going to write it all again.

and the common decency of civilization.

* It is the Democrat Party that...you know the rest.

This includes as a result of tRump and his team of goons being criminals against humanity

What crimes?

as a threat to the global economy

What threat?

and humanity,

What inhumanity?

the electoral college at outliving its usefulness should be dismantled and done away with forever.

Why? Because it elected both Obama and Clinton?

If it were not for this corrupted electoral college in cahoots with antigovernment conspiring GOPer cronies,

Obama and Clinton are not GOP cronies.

America would truly be great again.

In case you haven't noticed, America is great. It is unique in the world.

Yes. Keep in mind that some of these have graduated from college as well. Yet it is sad that they have never been educated.

Aside from all of this other malarkey you put here, President Obama and President Clinton did not recruit Russians to hack the election in their favor nor did they use antigovernment conspiring GOPer cronies to manipulate the electoral college in their favor either in violation of U.S. Constitutional law like your beloved Fuhrer and Putin puppet tRump did.

the EC has worked exactly as intended for over 230 years.....it isn't that complicated.......you need to win the majority of votes in the majority of states........the demmycrats still don't understand how it works........and they think they are smart enough to run a country.....

 

[Micawber]

It's all pretty simple. It's how the sausage got made. There was no principle underlying it.
The only rationale that exists is that "a deal is a deal" so we are stuck with it. No moral case
can be made that deviates from one woman-one vote.

its essentially derived from the same system the British use to select their prime minister.........the people elect the Parliament, the Parliament elects the leader.........we just substituted the EC for Parliament.......

Mueller says you're full of shit......

The system makes so little 21st (and really 19th or 20th) century sense that as scores of new nations have made the transition to democracies, and as they studied the varieties of democratic systems already in existence, none have adopted the Electoral College model for choosing a president.

But neither did they have a national popular vote. Most have parliamentary systems in which the voters do not choose the prime minister.

Rather than whine about it why don’t democrats amend their message so as to win more states?

It’s not rocket science. If it means becoming less radical in order to win Rust Belt states or get the working class back on board—just do it.

Getting rid of the EC is a moot point, anyway. It’s not going to happen.

okay that's enough clues.......you don't want to give the game away......

You need the majority of electoral votes, but not in the majority of states. You can win 270 electors by winning only the top 11 states.

This is not a democracy. That would be mob rule.
