Democracy will die if the electoral college isn t abandoned

It's probably because of the style of government and the ability for reform to take place. It seems like you're saying, well that's the way it is, which I don't see anyone arguing against. The discussion seems to be about there being a different way in the future.
it is the way it is, but the reality is that it's typically driven less by principle than not liking a particular (recent) outcome. FWIW, each of our current "sides" actually 'benefit' from a relatively equal number of 'overrepresented' states.
You won't believe me, but my thoughts on the process needing an update has a lot more to do with having a more accurate representation of what all voters want, not a system that benefits my situation. Like I stated earlier, my instincts tell me that it would eventually be more beneficial to the party I don't typically vote for.
Democracy is already dead. Democrats preemptively killed it trying to “save” it.
Both parties are guilty of doing the same crap.

You should audition for your own late night show, you've a great sense of humor.
How us the number of electors for each state determined? I mean do the yokels in the rural areas have the same number if electors from their state as the enlightend from civil society in California or New York?
Weird....it's almost as if more heavily populated states have more electors.
The Dimms are getting worried I see. Next we'll hear how Russia is planning to interfere with our election again.
Removing the leading opposition Candidate from state ballots. Attempts that SCOTUS shutdown 9-0. Whatever it takes, right, protectors of Democracy?
It will never be changed. A 2/3 majority and 3/4 of state legislatures is required to change the rules and politics is all about maintaining power regardless of whether it's in the long term best interests of the country.
A Republican president can't get elected by a majority vote. The Senate is in the same place today with Cows and Pigs having a bigger say in the constitution of that body than people do.

Here you go again with a shot at the job. At least I didn’t vote for a drug addled rapist conman, twice. That makes me smarter than you. The comedy is many of us told you about Trump 8 years ago. You argued then. Now you realize, 8 years later how shitty he is YET STILL, you want to argue and shit talk those of us who have been right all along. Maybe realize we continue to be correct about all this, learn and figure it out, or STFU. Low hanging fruit attack. I guess it really isn’t beneath you.
Jan is getting more insane by the year…or shoving his head deeper into the sand.
It could have been. Can you imagine the response of the 70 million Trump supporters if Democrats took away their right to vote for their guy in that way?
You guys are so afraid of democracy dying that you’re willing to kill it in order to save it?
Putin kills his opponents to keep them off the ballot. At least you don’t do that, but what you do is illegal and you refuse to acknowledge it.
I guess I haven't noticed a change, he's always seemed quick to anger to me.
You're a f@cking moron. I live in Iowa and vote, that's it. Nothing more, nothing less.
When did you give in to your delusions?
What’s insane is the lengths your party goes to, illegally, to keep this guy off the ballot. You don’t even understand the consequences of your actions, and you have the nerve to call someone that points it out, insane? You’re the one that’s gone off the deep end in recent years.
Says the guy that blindly supports a party that illegally tried to remove a candidate from state ballots. Forgive me if I don’t put much weight into what you say.
Believing your own opinions doesn’t make you right. You thinking that Trump is shitty doesn’t mean it is right. What exactly are all of you correct about?
Do you ever offer any of your own opinions or are you content with being a cantankerous @sshole that likes to tell people what they think?
This petty sh!t happens literally every time I've asked you a question on this site.
That sh!t smell that follows you, it's your shoe man.
I’m no Trump fan at all. I wish they could have indicated and convicted him of insurrection so he couldn’t get on the ballot. I’ll never vote for him, but doing what many of the states tried to do was just wrong. Democracy be damned.
It’s Friday and you’ve obviously been drinking. I’ll let you sober up and we can continue tomorrow. Enjoy.
I've wasted enough energy with you already. Best of luck with whatever it is you are about.
That’s too bad. I was hoping I could get you to see how wrong states like Colorado were. I guess you can continue supporting that illegal activity. Also, read post # 155.
Oh good God. Yes the couple attempts THAT EVEN BOARD LIBS DISAGREED WITH, is exactly the same as everything that has taken place since Trump lost the election. By Trump, his minions, and cult members. So very much the same thing. 🙄Wtf happened to you??
So now you are downplaying what took place…nothing to see here since it got rejected I guess.
