Reminder that the electoral college has no reason to exist except to give Republicans an advantage they don't deserve. Only about 28-29% of America lives in swing or lean states and with the electoral college in place, they're the only ones who matter in the election. Without the electoral college, everyone's vote is counted. So aside from wanting a Republican to win even if they don't get most of the votes(which is at least an honest reason) why should America even have an electoral college?

>why should America even have an electoral college

So 2 cities don't get to dictate how the entire country is run.

>Without the electoral college, everyone's vote is counted.
Sounds like a fucking nightmare.

These cities aren't homogeneous entities, they're filled with millions of people. Just because they live close together doesn't mean their votes should count less.

So 2 cities don't get to dictate how the entire country is run.

Dafuq outta here faggot leftist. . .

The electoral college exists so fuck faces like you, who Kore than likely lives in or near a major metropolitan center, don't get a chance to silence the voice of everyone else.


I don't want shit stains in New York or faggots in San Francisco, dictating how things work where I live..... Which isn't either one of those shithole areas.

>red cities magically become blue when 'dirt' doesnt count

The president runs the whole country, not just your state. I live in a conservative part of California, where no one's vote counts because all of California goes blue anyway. The same applies to all the conservatives in upstate New York, and all the liberals in Texas, and so on.

There are no red cities.

Reminder that the Constitution has no reason to exist but to preserve the aristocracy.

Fuck you fag. The electoral college is there to uphold state's rights. We aren't one single country; we're 50 unified countries with a strong centralized government. Now fuck off

That still doesn't give the left the right to abolish something that keeps one side of the spectrum from silencing those that are on the other side of the spectrum.

This guy gets it.

If dirt wouldn't count, the entire country would be red

The left only dislikes the electoral when they lose. When they win they sure don't seem to have a problem.

Who cares when Texas is going Blue in 2028?

This is just a non-point. The federal government has way more power than it did in the old colonial days. The president is the head of the whole nation, and we all deserve a vote.
What's that have to do with any of this? I just pointed out how more than 70% of the country isn't even counted because the population isn't close enough to being split down the middle between Republican and Democrat.
I wanted Hillary to lose from the beginning and I've despised the electoral college for years.
Maybe then conservatives won't suspend disbelief to defend it.
Fuck, you're right.

Why would they bitch when they cheat, I mean lie, I mean destroy the Constitution, I mean go out of their way to demonize anyone that won't tow the fuckery filled, leftist line, I mean actively try to usurp anyone that is just to the right of Ilhan Omar, I mean advocate for violence of those that the disagree with, I mean champion the destruction of this country, I mean get "elected."

For DECADES leftists sucked the electoral college's cock because they could pretty much always carry an election with only a handful of states with huge populations. Now that they've imported enough foreign masses to where the popular vote is guaranteed, and the electoral college is the only feasible way for a Republican to eek out a razor-thin victory, of course they call for direct democracy.

If you want non-swing states to matter more, then why not push for the systems of electoral college that allow a states electoral votes to be split among different parties? Some states already work like that

Was Jow Forums Pot right on the urban people problem?

Than maybe convince people in those parts of the country to vote for your party.

It has everything to do with it. Why should we get rid of the only thing that keeps the rural areas on somewhat of an equal footing with urban shitholes? Why? Because the feels say so? Dafuq outta here.

It was specifically put into place so city fags that have no clue about farming or rural life couldn't make all the laws and regulation about shit they dont know or understand.

For a good example of this, ask anyone who lives in a city what they think about herbicides and pesticides.

>red cities

bruh

>the electoral college has no reason to exist except to give Republicans an advantage they don't deserve
>why should America even have an electoral college?
Why don't you look into why it was created, idiot.

This

Getting rid of the entire electoral college would just make large population centers and mass media the place where candidates focus their attention on.

Smaller districts should dictate alongside more major ones. (Get rid of gerrymandering though)

Imagine being this retarded

>electoral college invented 200 years ago was made to favor Republicans in the 2000s
Thanks for the reminder...

Basically this retard just wants to give Jews complete control over everything. As if they haven't ruined enough of this country and the rest of the planet up to this point.

I never saw anyone defend the electoral college until 2016.
Yes.
Because less people live in the urban areas. Your vote doesn't deserve to be equal to multiple votes of other people just because they live in a different state.
But farmers deserve to make laws for city people that outnumber them?
I think I've debunked this one in every post I've made so far.

It exists to keep political power decentralized. Everything about how our government was set up was made to keep power decentralized.

Because that wouldn't benefit Democrats.

If you have a problem with the EC, you should be protesting 24/7, because again, you get electors based on your representation in the government

Less people.... Live in urban areas....... Are you fucking retarded? How many fucksticks live in LA? New York City? Chicago?


Urban centers are full of fucking people.... That's why they are urban centers..... Because they are large fucking cities......

So get rid of it. See what happens. We're waiting.

it's so city idiot fucking faggot trannies like you don't dictate how the whole country gets run.
idiot
now go suck a dick

>Because less people live in the urban areas. Your vote doesn't deserve to be equal to multiple votes of other people just because they live in a different state.
It’s precisely because all votes all equal that this occurs

If you are going out to eat with 4 friends and you vote, you are 20% of the votes. If you are voting as an employee out of 100 to who’s going to cater a company event you are 1% of the vote. You are on the second scenario whining that’s its not fair because of the first scenario.

States. Connecticut Compromise.

Nah, a bunch of bloc voting kikes and niggers in NYC don't have the perspective or right to dictate what's good for the states of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.

>inb4 fly over
You'll be a starve over without them urban faggot.

Words got all fucked cause I was distracted, but given the meme flag, I think you knew that. You gonna make any actual points or keep shitting up the thread?

>Without the electoral college, everyone's vote is counted.

Wrong. We know for a fact the Democrats stuff the ballot boxes with millions of illegal votes. But the thing is they can only get away with this in certain states with no voter ID laws - states that would have gone blue anyway. If we do away with the Electoral College, we will never have an honest election again.

Seriously, be honest. Do you TRULY believe more people ACTUALLY, UNIRONICALLY, voted for Hillary than Trump? Come on, dude, be realistic.

Besides, it would change the way campaigns are run, and not for the better. Instead of having to get a broad cross-section of all Americans from a variety of different voting demographics like they do now, elections will become strict popularity contests based on who offers the most gibs.

I never saw anyone defend the electoral college until 2016.

because no leftists were saying it must be abolished, until the exact second hillary didn't get the require number of EC votes. and states weren't passing laws saying they were going to circumvent the system. Until it didn't work out for hillary. Dumbshit.

I'm probably going to keep shitting up the thread.

Also, the electoral college isn't really why your bitching. Your bitching because you seem to think that your chosen dogma is the only solution to the "problem."

News flash, it isn't.

Our system of government isn't the best, but why should those that don't live in major cities not be on equal footing with those in major cities? Why stop at getting rid of the electoral college, why not institue poll taxes, or literacy tests or even better, make it so that only those who make over a certain amount of money per year be able to vote on anything, from local issues, to foreign policy, or national issues.


Hey I have an idea, let's just destroy the government altogether, and go back to a pseudo-monarchy type of government... While we're at it, let's get rid of personal freedoms, and the bill of rights.

We don't need rights... We just need to submit to those that can afford an apartment in New York. They are richer, and therefore, smarter.....

You have to be a legal citizen to vote in federal elections, and Republicans commit voter fraud more than Democrats.
I do think Hillary got the popular vote because I live in a red part of California and everyone I know that supported Trump didn't even bother voting due to the electoral college. More than 70% of the country doesn't have any reason to vote because their state is guaranteed to one party or the other.

...

You dropped your tinfoil yarmulke, Avram

Bullshit..... How the hell do you support that fuckery? The left is evil as hell. They always have been, and always will be.

At least the right is honest enough to tell those that they hate, to fuck off, to their face.

Also go fuck yourself leftist.

>and Republicans commit voter fraud more than Democrats.

Even if that's true (which it isn't) it doesn't matter who does it. Just the mere fact that it's even possible at all should be making everybody, on both sides, flip the fuck out.

But, yeah, you saw ONE news story about ONE Republican voter voting twice and that's how you reached the conclusion that "Republicans do it more than Democrats."

Imagine being so unironically stupid as to not know the electoral college exists to protect State rights.

Our country is not just one big place dumbshit. USA means united STATES meaning each individual state has its own state laws and economy and culture. There is just as much a difference between say Oregon and Kansas as there is between Canada and the UK.

Without the electoral college canditates would just pander to States which have laws that pander to huge metropolitan areas ( IE New York and California ) and rural areas would end up seeing mass decay as a result. The point of EC is to cap support from any one state at 50%, which then forces candidates for the white house to cast a broader net with a policy that works for most of America and not just the bigger cities. Farms are essential. Small towns foster growth. Land ownership matters.

Retards who want to get rid of EC have failed to understand the meaning of the short parable "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner". True 100% democracies are actually bad because they are a bandwagon fallacy. The EC places a cap on any state laws importance and forces DC to consider the entire country. This way we can have the closest thing to a democracy without turning the States with more rural areas and laws suitable for farmers into even more of unprofitable ghost towns then they already are.

Founding fathers were smart and recognized these flaws. People who don't recognize them are brainlets who have no business in politics or economics.

HEY MORONS,

trump won a MAJORITY of votes in 30 / 50 states

trump won a MAJORITY of votes in 2600/3100 counties, thats 83% of ALL COUNTIES IN THE UNITED STATES,

if you dont recognize the right of those 30 states just because they dont have the highest populations, then guess what... THEY WILL LEAVE THE FUCKING UNION AND STOP PAYING FEDERAL TAXES BECAUSE NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION NIGGER.

also, GUESS which states all the guns are in? which states is all the food grown in? where are all the farms? and where are all the men with military training!? exactly. CITY FAGGOTS.

shut your gaping bleeding pussy holes about the electoral collage or WE will leave your shitty union and take all the good shit with us.

>You have to be a legal citizen to vote in federal elections,

And that requirement is EASILY circumvented in states with no voter ID laws or poor voter roll management. (aka "blue states".) And they absolutely do circumvent it, by the millions.

Do you think if we get a Democrat president, the farms just get neglected and everyone starves? How far from reality do you have to live to extrapolate that?

I wish states could secede. America needs to just be balkanized.

Attached: ay.png (456x524, 252K)

it doesn't matter whether you think that a democrat government might neglect the farms or not....

its that it is the right of the people in all of the different states to choose who the president is, regardless of why.

its not one country, its a union of 50 states, they must all be listened to and represented, otherwise they will leave.

states can secede, we just haven't got there yet.

... It's an article ..... From New York magazine.....

Here's your ((you))

No, the people who live in the country get to dictate it. Fuck outta here, Mussolini

If we got rid of EC our politics would completely change and our parties policies would too. It has nothing to do with left vs right. You only think it does because you are shortsighted and only see the red and blue map and think your own party would benefit.

Also why the fuck would I believe anything from the mainstream media, let alone anything from a magazine that has New York in it's title?....

Come on man.... Try a little at least.

Without it, 47 states have no reason to be part of the union and will secede. Then the other three will starve to death while the flyovers laugh.

HERE IS ANOTHER GOOD REASON

The rules are laid out in the constitution.

If you want to change the constitution, thats fine... but you need to do it properly... which means you need 2/3's of congress and 2/3's of the senate for your new rules to pass....

so.. good luck and godspeed.

Government schools today will do anything but acknowledge we live in a constitutional republic. It's taught that though we technically don't live in a democracy, we live in a "representative democracy". Both are lies, it's taught to be complex to give the propaganda weight but the truth is simple to understand- the rights of government were few and well-defined until our country succumbed to world communist aggression in recent time.

Did it still have no point when Obunga won? How about Rapin' Bill. Just shut up you stupid Jap faggot and accept that we will never surrender to the New World Order. We will never give up the land we love to the global elites. Trump is the best president ever and if you don't like it you can go to hell, or Canada, that's worse.

Or here is a simplified version if you still have trouble comprehending why your idea is bad:

If we got rid of the Electoral College, NEITHER Republicans OR Democrats would care what rural areas think.

The electoral college has nothing to do with Democrats and Republicans. It has to do with the Union known as the United States of America. Each state in the Union gets electoral votes based off of population. This gives a farmer in Iowa as much voting power as group of heroine addicts laying in the streets of California.

It's not a popular democracy. We live in a republic and the states vote on our president in the end.

Even Plato knew that Rule of the Majority is not Just. Read a book

>n likely lives in or near a major metropolitan center, don't get a chance to silence the voice of everyone else.

When democrats win the electoral college, they also win the popular vote.

The last 2 Republican presidents were put into office having lost the popular vote.

The founding fathers never intended for there to be more than 50,000 people per representative, now there are more than 700,000. That's a very large reason why the electoral college has become so unbalanced.

Yes it does. For the same reason every state has 2 senators, no matter the size. You’ll learn it 4th grade. Until then you must be 18 to post.

And on top of all that, if you think voter fraud is a problem now, wait until ALL of the votes are "counted" in one central location, controlled by the same people who brought you Obamacare (you can substitute "Patriot Act" if you're a Liberal.) You ain't seen nothin yet.

>dirt doesnt vote
Neither should illegals you filthy nigger

They didn't expect niggers like you to pile upon each other in large cities. Why dont you help working Americans out and go live somewhere rural?

It's not a populariry contest you fucking MORON

The only way the EC could be removed is for California and other Dem states to give up their voter rolls so we can find out how many illegals are voting

They will never do this, implying there are likely millions of them

So the EC will stay in place as long as dems cheat

Because the needs of rural areas are not the same as the needs of city dwellers

The electoral college means rural Americans must be thought of and legislated for.

You shouldn't believe anything at all. kys.

Cool. Federal elections will now be ran by federal agencies. States will have zero say in elections and will not be making any election rules or keeping any registeration data. Everyone that votes will have a federally assigned ID.

Sounds great man, we will see how it goes.

We aren't a democracy because the Founding Fathers understood how mob rule works out in the long run.
Also, check the source material on your maps there.
>jump off something tall
>all Marxists deserve death by firing squad

Get 2/3rds of both Houses of Congress and 3/4ths the states to agree with you, and then you can get rid of the Electoral college. Until then, fuck off.

If the illegals were not allowed to vote in California it would go red. All you need to vote in California is a utility bill. That is it. They also register illegals when they give them a drivers license. Its a oopsey daisy.

>Reminder that the electoral college has no reason to exist except to give Republicans an advantage they don't deserve.

Yes, when the founding fathers crafted the electoral college, their lone reason was to give favor to Republicans presidential candidates
in the early 21st century.

Luckily, the Constitution was written in a way such that pluralities - or even majorities - of idiots cannot change it.
