Well then, by all means, let me know why you think it time to change it. What would a better, yet FAIR, system, which gives a voice to all states rather than catering to the 3 or 4 most populated states? What would be better than the Electoral College?Lemons wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 8:28 amI’m happy you remember and are able to recite your high school history lesson on how the system works. What you don’t seem to be able to do is discuss why it may or may not be time to change it.29again wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 11:50 pmEvery state gets 2 senators. Every state has a different number of representatives based on the states population. So, the more populated a state is, the more votes it has. California will always have more votes than Wyoming simply because more people live in Cali. California, as a STATE, has more votes than all the other states. But there is no reason why states like WY or RI should have NO votes, which is basically what you are advocating for by eliminating the EC. It's like you think only the people in certain states should have a voice in electing the President, and there are a lot of people who think otherwise.Lemons wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 10:11 pm
No need to swear to get out of my “F***ing bubble”. I understand as well as you do. Just don’t agree. We all live in the US. Why should someone who chooses to live in a rural state need to get their vote counted more?
Small states elect representatives to exclusively represent their rural states with two senators and a number of congressman. Wyoming with their 500,000+ population gets two votes in the senate. California with 40,000,000 population also only gets two votes. Some of the smaller States are complaining about not having enough congressmen even though they have tiny populations.
How often do you travel around the country?
I can't quite figure why I need to explain how elections work to you....
And apparently the way primaries work is no problem for you, but the presidential election with the EC is a huge issue. I honestly don't get that. I think the primaries are way more FUBAR'ed than the presidential election is.
I'm not really discussing that because I believe the EC is working perfectly as intended. I see no need to change things up to suit a few communist/marxist wannabes.
