Classic Democrats.
They act like anything that doesn't help them take power is the worst thing ever until it works in their favor.

The Electoral College — which subverts the will of the majority of voters in this country only some of the time — is still better than not having presidential elections at all, which is essentially what Trump is proposing.

The Founders’ vision of democracy wasn’t perfect but it is still better than outright dictatorship

Hope this helps

Why would you want to abolish a system that allows all votes to be counted as opposed to just votes in major cities?
3 ups, 3y
That's the point. They only want dem votes counted.

Sometimes I think this place is inhabited by middle school dropouts. Eliminating the electoral college will mean every vote is counted, and every vote has equal importance. It doesn't just count city votes. Go read a book.

Actually, yes it does. Don't get fooled by the Democrats and their flashy talking points. The electoral college has worked for a very long time.

"Go read a book." Perhaps you should read the constitution sometime.

A farmer's vote should count more than someone's from the city? Does that sound like democracy?
What about the idiotic "campaign donations are free speech" ruling?

So basically if we had a direct democracy the people who live in the cities would have all the say.

No one would care about the rural and urban areas politicians would only care about cities.

Cities are urban areas. Go back to your middle school stream, and pay attention this time.
