If democrats abolish the Electoral College republicans would never win the WH

[cancel2 2022]

It doesn’t matter, they’re not going to Win ever again either way

Sounds to me what you want is an American version of the ANC in South Africa

EC is set up like Congress in terms of amount of electors. That makes enormous sense to begin with.
also YUGE populous states of CA are limited from overwhelming the popular vote by proportional electors instread

...and minimum electors.

Both parties questioned the Electoral College since it was installed. There have been bills offered that did not win out but were close. In 1969, the house judiciary comm. passed a billl 28 to 6. The House passed it 339 to 70.
In the 1800s there were many attempts to modify or kill it. Nobody loved it until the Repubs do now.

The House has no authority to change the Constitution.

Sounds great. The EC in an antiquated gift to appease slave states. Fuck it, burn it and bury it.

You don't get to. You are not the king.

A. Biden won with legal votes.

No. Biden has not won. The election is still indeterminate.

B. You cannot cite any illegal votes.

Thousands of witnesses disagree with you.

C. You cannot cite 10 million illegal alien votes for either him or Obama.

Thousands of witnesses disagree with you.

D. No city has admitted this, nor can you show that one has.

Los Angeles has. So has Las Vegas.

Actually, retard, it works exactly the opposite and makes no sense.

anatta is correct. You are just trolling.

So you want a REAL "democracy"? You might want to read this: https://www.thoughtco.com/were-ancient-greeks-required-to-vote-118831

The whole article is pretty good, but a few points popped right out:

1. Only males (free and, originally, propertied; later, also born to two Athenian-born parents) could become citizens.
   
   Hmmm...Sounds a lot like America until 1920
   
   
2. Only citizens could vote.
   
   No brainer even today...except to demorats
   
   
3. These potentially voting citizens were limited to those without a personal or inherited mark (atimia) against them.
   
   "Atimia" has a few different meanings, but mostly used as describing any disenfranchised person, such as a woman, a slave, or a CONVICTED FELON.
   
   
4. In addition, what's true about one period of democracy is not necessarily true of another.

Granted. 2020 America isn't ancient Athens. It isn't even 18th century America(where George Washington won 100% of the vote, which was of course the electoral collage vote, because there was no nation-wide popular vote until 1836). Which brings us back to 2020 America and this clusterfuck of an election, which you jackasses have managed to turn into a horrifying preview of "democracy" in action.

There is still no nationwide popular vote. The President is not elected by popular vote. The United States is not and never was a democracy. It is a federated republic.

The purpose of the EC is to nullify the retard vote as much as possible. Which has disproportionately gone to Democrats since 1828.

WRONG. The purpose of the EC is to give each State representation when electing the President and Vice President.

It would require a constitutional amendment to get rid of the electoral college, but if democrats can pull it off or inact some measure or proposal to lesson it’s useless impediment to real democracy, republicans would never win the White House.

Ignore republican whining because they believe that winning by getting the most votes is cheating.

Without the EC this election would have been indisputably over long ago. Donald Trump himself is the poster child for abolishing the EC. Lots of proposals on how to get it done.

Possibly, but look at what the *supposed* uber liberal electorate did in the CA statewide election did. They basically voted for Republican policies (or against Democrat policies).

the Electoral College will never be eliminated.

It is just another JPP marxist wet dream

it's why we have an electoral college.......to keep a tiny handful of overpopulated states from imposing themselves on the entire country.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Mathematically, it is possible to win the EC by only carrying the eleven most populous states. .

and if more people move to Los Angeles and NYC it could be mathematically possible to win the EC by creating a government that solely benefits Los Angeles and NYC........does that really sound good to you?......

That's one of the main reasons the system was put in place. Winning California, alone, gives that candidate 20% of the total EV needed to become President.

That's what idiots like BAC want. As long as those tiny areas support what he supports. If it were the other way around, he'd be screaming about preserving the system.

I hope you can find solace in that, but I’m more interested in this from the “Uber liberal electorate.”

California 2020 results

Biden 63.5%
Trump 34.3%.

Split and crossover votes are not new unless your claim is that Cali voters are clamoring for right wing policies.

Prime example of why the EC was put in place.

Truth!

More truth! You don't see elections for the senate and house going to any kind of "electoral college". There's your "democracy", BAC!
