America was never meant to be a Socialist/Marxist country.

Popular vote doesn’t determine the winner because it’s not a popularity contest.

True, and the electoral college is ass. HOWEVER, he only one electoral college once.

Don’t you like ass? So that means it’s good right 👍

I never said that wtf are you on about

I would ask the same question.

Where did I say I liked ass

Archaic only to the “woke” Marxist communists. It was set up that way for a reason. That reason was so that less populous states wouldn’t have to live under the tyranny of the mobs in the populous cities. It works and is effective. The founders were way smarter than that leftist college professor who spouts this drivel to ignorant youth.

Of course it applies to presidential election otherwise New York and California get to pick the president for all the states because they are populous.What you propose is mob rule. Majority wins. The majority simply would vote down anything that doesn’t benefit the majority. Pure democracy is a sure fire plan to mob rule by the majority and tyrants. That’s why we are a Republic.

Right as usual, Bluessol, and always from the soul....

How would New York and California decide elections when states do not matter? You realize that campaign strategy would adapt to the new rules, right? Instead of securing states, candidates would need widespread appeal across the board and actually have to compete outside swing states. Or are you insinuating that New Yorkers and Californias are monolithic?

And for the last time, Republics are Democracies.

But not all democracies are republics. There is a difference.

We are the United States, i.e. a coalition of states, not people. The states retain certain sovereignty to cater to the people of the state. Therefore.it makes sense you have to win states as otherwise the more populous states that tend to be
Leftist would have outsize influence.

But I thought the purpose of the electoral college was so that the less populous states wouldn't have to live under the tyranny of the mobs in the populous cities? Is that not what is happening under the electoral college as it stands? Does not population dictate the electoral power of the state? If you disagree with a democratic elected system, then surely the answer is a more republic system where each state holds equal power?

It’s a system that has worked for 2 centuries. You got a better idea? Popular vote? Nope not better.

I told you my better idea.

Have the states have equal power. Done.

It makes sense for Congress, yes, but for the president? A leader supposed to serve the people? Shouldn’t someone serving the people by elected directly by the people?

And if you’re wondering why the electoral college was established in the first place, it was so the elite would remain power in voting for the president. In the early days of the U.S., citizens would vote not for the president, but for electoral college delegates themselves, and those delegates would then vote for president. It had nothing to do with states, just keeping power out of the hands of the common people

So it was a check against the mob imposing bad ideas? Your contempt for our founding documents and insinuation of evil intent is an indication of woke indoctrination.

“ The authors of the Constitution put this system in place so that careful and calm deliberation would lead to the selection of the best-qualified candidate. Voters in each state actually cast a vote for a block of electors who are pledged to vote for a particular candidate.”

Listen, I love this country as much as you do. That’s why I am critical of parts of the constitution that I think could be better. If your child was misbehaving, would you let them continue because you love that child? No, you correct their behavior, because you love them. As a mother, I should know

Says a leftist from a high population blue state that believes that America is a dumbocracy.

Couldn’t be further from the truth. The state I live in is as red as a tomato

And yet you are a leftist.

So?

Here's the truth if you can handle it...
