Hello...

>who cares if they present overly simplified "refutations" of a strawman, they're totally a reliable source and not just "edutainment" for smug libtards and "centrists"
Can you not be a leaf for one second

Remember how under the Obama administration we are at our lowest rate of unemployment since the FUCKING 80's. Awww but your beloved George Bush solved all the problems huh?

Well, there's all the purple states. Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, all the urban voters in Austin and Dallas and so on ... really, there's quite a few democratic strongholds on otherwise-red states. Atlanta, Phoenix, St Louis, New Orleans, I have to be forgetting others. I haven't crunched the numbers but I don't think the gains would be particularly one-sided.

Really, I just want NoVA to split off and become its own state so we can develop our own independent identity. At this point we're more Yankee than southern. So I'm antagonizing southern Virginians over us turning the state blue. I truly have no opinion on the Electoral College one way or the other; I see both the pros and cons.

I'm for the electoral collage because Crush the Urbanite.

They want to destroy me, everything I believe in, and my way of life.
If Clinton won the EC and lost the popular vote they would be justifying it as an important check in our electoral process that just save America from literally Hitler.

They want war, and the EC is a weapon to use against them.

The problem lies in the fact that, according to our current laws, each individual state decides how to chose their electors. Their is no overarching law for the entire nation for this (well there is requirements to be an elector, you have to be a citizen). So lets say Cali decides to split their vote, but Texas does not, suddenly Texas has more power.In order to make this happen, you would have to have a constitutional amendment which would infringe on states rights.

I like the electoral college because it means that MOST people in MOST districts elect the president. The president is ensured to be elected by a broad cultural base.

The pop vote disparity has only grown and is now much worse than in 2000. There is no way trump can catch up, unfortunately.

>Trump says he wants to abolish the electoral college
>"wow you fucking idiot its there to protect the people, the system isn't rigged, you're just going to lose and you're going to be sore when you wasted all your time and money"
>Trump wins
>"WE NEED TO GET RID OF THIS RIGGED SYSTEM
Seriously?

You make the United States a democracy (p.s. it's not, it's a republic) and you will only make it easier for a crazy ass (like Trump) to get in the presidential chair.

Stay on topic, guys. This is about Electoral College. I was just humoring him with the Bush example.

>Had to pick up son from school
All right, I guess some states require excuses for mail-in ballots, and don't allow early voting. Scheduling is hard sometimes. I can understand that.

However:

>Implying he didn't vote for an Electoral College change
>When nobody even put it to a referenda

This means the Electoral College was still a thing, not because you didn't vote, but because NOBODY FUCKING CARED, when they had ample reason to...several times.

Yet, now Trump gets in office, and the cuckery loses its mind. This man is so great, he's already inspiring good changes in law...After having done NOTHING in an in official capacity.

Hail the duly-elected God-Emperor-President.

It does not ensure that, you can win the electoral college with less then 30% of the popular vote
