Well, Trumpers, Trump himself said it, so it must be true. End of discussion.

The OP's post is laugh-out-loud funny. I literally laughed at my desk. Reminds me of my crazy leftie aunt.

It favors Dems as often as it favors Republicans so you may be arguing to do away with something that will benefit Dems in 2020.



Now this rings a bell!

Remember Harry Reid invoking the nuclear option in 2013 to get Obama's appointments through?

It came back to bite the Democrats in the ass now that most of Trump's appointments will sail through and be confirmed.

The Electoral College, which is written into the Constitution, is more than just a vestige of the founding era; it is a living symbol of America’s original sin. When slavery was the law of the land, a direct popular vote would have disadvantaged the Southern states, with their large disenfranchised populations. Counting those men and women as three-fifths of a white person, as the Constitution originally did, gave the slave states more electoral votes.

It is not about the party and which party is favored by the EC. It's a simple principle that every person gets one vote and we absolutely shouldn't have over 1 Million disenfranchised voters in a democratic country. It's a principle that the LOSER of the majority vote shouldn't be made president. There is no country, none, zilch that picks the LOSER as leader. The EC is anachronistic , rooted in slavery and Doesn't belong in 21st century, much less in America.


Make that two million.

Well there are over 3.3 million republican voters in California and 2.6 million in NY.


What's your point? There are millions more of Dem voters in CA and NY.

All this anger over a fair and square election. I shudder to imagine what would happen if neither candidate got to 270 and the House got to pick the President. These tolerant liberals would be setting things on fire in every city in the country.
