Since campaigning is only in a few states they don't have to travel as much. Less travel means less pollution. Liberals should be supporting the electoral college.
Except the election was won by michigan and wisconsin which aren't the states you highlighted
As opposed to abolishing the college and having all campaigns in NY, California, Texas, and Florida?
That sounds better to you?
Why should 4 states dictate the livelihood of 46 others?
Are you fucking retarded? Abolishing the electoral college would give everyone in those states a voice. So if a state is 51% democrat and 49% republican, the democrats don’t get 100% of the votes, they only get 51% and everyone’s vote matters. Are you saying the 4 million republicans in California don’t matter?
And you’re double retarded because under the electoral college four states already decide the vote: the swing states. without the electoral college, even under your retarded assumptions, the vote would be decided by the most votes and not arbitrarily by which states are swing.
The absolute state of retardicans
Fuck off faggot, not happening.
>Abolishing the electoral college would give everyone in those states a voice.
Despite what you may think, not everyone deserves a voice.
I personally think people should take a basic civics exam before being given a voter ID.
You have to take a test before they give you a drivers licence for god sake.
Yes it will, the Democrats will make sure of it
Not without a civil war they wont
>You literally cannot defend the electoral college after seeing this image.
Yes I can
It was set up to prevent literal urban faggots such as yourself from dominating the political landscape.
See Abolishing the electoral college gives everyone a vote. Republicans in blue states, democrats in red states. You are retarded.
If only it were only 3 :( fuck off fag
yeah and without the electoral college candidates would be decided by California and New York every time and wouldn't go anywhere else retard
HOLY FUCK THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF RETARDICANS.
SEE
so you're a retard then. nice thread
If the electoral college was don away with the new "battleground states" would become the most populous states. There would literally be no difference.
Including all the illegals that California and new York and all the other sanctuary states possess
You can't have a national vote count, without a national voting standard. Otherwise every state can just make up any number they want. So this is not necessarily a bad thing.
>Hillary won the popular vote
Completely meaningless when CA has its own voting system.
>I don't understand how constitutional amendments work
Allowing only landowners to vote would work much better.
You'd be praising the EC if Hillary had won. Why should mob rule be how the country works? Everything is done in a way to equalize states, not people.
The funny thing is how many more states used to be more important with more opportunity to "swing" and thus politicians had to give it more weight up until one urban Democrat stronghold grows bloated enough to out-shout the rest of their state and turns it blue, forever. No reason to waste campaign effort in a place where pavement apes will make it go democrat regardless of how hard you persuaded and campaigned in that state
The game is not rigged. The system is not biased. There is no reason Hillary couldn't have won EC, other than she was a terrible candidate. Typical for women, they have to blame something else for their own downfall.
Abolishing the electoral college means a lot of dead leftists.
Please do it.
They campaign there because they are battleground states. Less campaigned states typically swing in one direction consistently.
I don't have to defend it. It's the law, at a level that you guys will have a hard time changing it. Feel free to waste resources trying.
I will laugh my ass off, though, if you succeed, and the next election sees a GOP popular vote win that would have been a Dem win if the EC was still in place.
>So if a state is 51% democrat and 49% republican, the democrats don’t get 100% of the votes, they only get 51% and everyone’s vote matters.
In the example you cite, everyone's vote matters already -- that is a state where only a few votes could swing the state one way or another.
What folks often miss is that states are ALL swing states -- one party winning a state for a couple of cycles does not mean it will be safely the property of that party next time. California used to be a fairly reliable GOP state, and if we learned anything in 2016, it is that a determined campaign can flip a state everybody assumed was locked down for the other side.
Don't know if you ever heard the old political saw, "Pennsylvania; where Republican campaigns go to die." It made fun of GOP campaigns that foolishly wasted resources trying to win in safely-blue Pennsylvania, when those resources might be used someplace that was competitive. I suspect you won't hear that line used in discussing politics in 2020.
This is such a bullshit tactic, the dems know the electoral college isn't going to be repealed, not in a hundred fucking years are 38 states going to disenfranchise themselves, so why are the dems even doing this? To sow discord and destroy our faith in elections, allowing the dems to pander to an even smaller and smaller urban constituency. They have no intention of even attempting to ever in our lifetimes repeal the electoral college, but they're gonna babble about it and use it to destroy peoples faith in the voting process and drum up hate until I fucking die. I hate these fucking people
>You can't have a national vote count, without a national voting standard.
That's a good point. And while I don't support any effort to do away with the EC, it also would be fairly simple to adjust that in the same amendment that changed the electoral system.
>The funny thing is how many more states used to be more important with more opportunity to "swing" and thus politicians had to give it more weight up until one urban Democrat stronghold grows bloated enough to out-shout the rest of their state and turns it blue, forever.
Like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan?
>you cannot defend the electoral college because of strategic campaigning
Cue image of smug hillary voting protestor with the “its not rigged, you’re just losing” sign aimed at trump on one side and then the crying feminist in the either side as he wins
Kill all democrats
>has sage in his name
>bumps the thread
Great job bud
>blue states vote blue
>blue state voters actually complain that their state always votes in line with them
>Are you fucking retarded? Abolishing the electoral college would give everyone in those states a voice
What is the tyranny of the 51%?
t. leftard
The electoral college protects America from massive voting fraud in California.
I'm ok with abolishing the electoral college if you're ok with repealing a woman's right to vote.
>You’d be praising the EC if Hillary had won
Truth. And OP would be shitting on his own arguments if Conservatives argued it.
>Meant to equalize States, not people
This.
>are you fucking retarded
Coming from the sort of scum who use a faggot flag that seems hypocritical
Why do you subhuman vermin try to trick people all the time? What does it say about your lack of morality? You detest white people and want to hasten our end by allowing the president to be decided by spics and niggers
I especially love the way you vermin try to make out we’re stupid for not wanting to harm ourselves. Classic kike tactic
Hurr durr you are retarded for wanting a system that allows each state to have a say instead of just major cities which all vote Democrat
How would it be different if it was based on the popular vote?
The states would just change and the same shit would happen, just with population being the determinant.
I can and I will. Shitbloods don’t have rights.
Just look at Germany's rationale for using an electoral college to select the BundesPresident. An indirect vote undermines popular mandate for the executive avoid demogoguery and usurpation. We need electoral college reform to make it less binary and less partisan, but not abolition.
no the constitution,
It’s trash

Once again. Out of the several reasons the founders put the electoral college in place was so smaller population (see rural) states would have more representation than high population states with urban centers. No state can have less than 3 votes in the electoral college.
Example:
Wyoming 210k votes cast. Each elector represented 70,000 votes
California 9.7 million votes cast, 54 electors. Each elector represented 179,000 votes.
Your vote mattered more in Wyoming than it did in California.
This is why I support the electoral college. I don't give a fuck about the 12 republicans left in california, their representation doesn't mean shit anyway. If I were them I would move anyway, couldn't pay me to be be in that state. It benefits my interests more to have the current system in place where rural areas/states have more representation than highly populated states/places. Not only does it benefit those of my political persuasion, it is in line with the vision of the founders for this system.
>would literally be 4 cities without the electoral college.
Hmmm. Six states. Four cities. I wonder which will produce civil war faster.
If you want to be more important you simply don't have to be so one sided all the time.
Look at New Hampshire! New Hampshire is a tiny tiny state and they had a huge number of events
Also, itty bitty NH still a '21' after all this time.
>feels good to be white.
>You literally cannot defend the electoral college after seeing this image
i can, dumb commi scum.
NH is the most important political state and it's not even a contest until election night, when population actually matters for some kind of reasons.
Only Iowa has a chance against us. And they refuse to let go of that stupid caucus system
That’s a byproduct of retarded traditions more than the EC itself. Iowa and NH got dibs on firstsies and if you try to go before them they get all pissy and move their primaries up all cunty-like.
Yes, let's just have California and New York rule the fucking nation. What could go wrong?
The EC is not retard 'tard. It's literally the very contract all 50 sovereign states agreed to.
Do you not want to be USA anymore? I'd be happy to let CA go it's own way, but be warned, you let the chinks in there and we will nuke you.
Federation of States
Direct Democracy is retarded
the end
We're a republic and we have limitations in place to prevent mob rule. Rule by the 51% is the opposite of what this country is about. Our constitutional rights are more important than what 51% of the population want on any given day. Half of our population reside in 10 of our states: en.wikipedia.org
>Are you saying the 4 million republicans in California don’t matter?
Their vote counts for who their state votes for, which happens to be strongly Democrat. We are a union of states. Just because a lot of states are not competitively political makes no difference.
Maybe if your state wasn't solidified towards one party they would visit. Swing states will always get the presidential candidate visits. Want dems and republicans to start visiting your state? Vote for the opposite party that won last time.
>Abolishing the electoral college gives everyone a vote.
People have a vote in their state, cunt. States deserve their own parity with respect to elections because this is a republic, faggot.
Whoops, forgot to filter the fag flag
