It's time to move to the popular vote deciding elections

[Truth Detector]

There are a lot of quirks in our system. States with more cows than humans still get the same Senate representation as Texas and California. Our system was set up for rule by minority.

There are a lot of morons in our country. We call them leftists and Democrats.

 

[Truth Detector]

Californians who move to Florida will still vote for the same party, so the point is not really valid. No? As you point out, Iowans who vote Dem. would have much more power than they now have.

I am truly beginning to believe that nothing short of a revolution will eliminate the electoral college. There's just too much money and power wrapped up in it.

That would be fun to watch. I bunch of gun fearing brain dead leftist retards in revolution mode.

Of course, you don't like people who are smarter and better educated, Grog. You're a fucking primitive idiot.

Let me start off by saying that I do not expect things to change. The minority loves being in control.

BUT...California now has 54 Electoral College votes...and Wyoming has 3. California has a population of

Let me start by saying I think this will not change. The minority love being in control...and in our country, the minority is in control.

BUT...California now has 54 EC votes...and Wyoming has 3.

California has a population of 39,000,000...meaning it has one EC vote for every 722,222 citizens...while Wyoming as a population of 590,000...meaning it has one EC vote for every 196,000 citizens.

That simply is not fair.

California's 39,000,000 people are represented in the Senate by 2 senators; Wyoming's 590,000 are represented in the Senate by 2 senators.

That also is not fair.

Nothing going to be done about it...but we ought all to acknowledge that it is not fair.

You're such a moron. The EC is dictated by a states representation. Every state has the same formula. Right now it is one per 761,169 regardless of state.

There's a sane reason every state gets two senators. But you would have needed a grade school education to comprehend that.

There is a total of 538 electors, or equivalently, 538 electoral votes — that’s the sum of 435 voting members of the House, 100 senators, and three electors assigned to Washington, DC.

MORONS. God you leftists are fucking dense.

They do not have the intellect to understand the genius of our constitution.

Or the consequences of changing it.

Like a child in a toy isle they just want their childish way.

So true. It's frightening to think morons like those vote. But how else does a dummy like Biden or Kamala get into power.

I disagree strongly. We would have never survived as a species if we were "adults who are pure Id." Cooperation, civility, community, stable social structure are all survival methods our species has had since our beginning. Having males who just grabbed whatever female was closest to force sex upon would destabilize the clan. Males of many species, including ours, want to know that the children they are helping to feed are THEIRS. That being said, there are some more primitive cultures who offer women to guests and/or share each other's mates. They are uncommon compared to the monogamous cultures that most humans had and still have today.

MORON ALERT!!! To think that this moron votes. Scary.

It's a great idea. I agree that the electoral college sucks.

Well we can agree that you are a repugnant, uneducated, ignoramus on steroids too.

Only your female counterpart gave a thumbs up to that asinine remark.

In 1970 the EC was going to be eliminated. It took a Senate filibuster to save it. It was one of many attempts to eliminate it.

The Senate has no authority to change the Constitution, Sybil.

Wow. You really are slow, ain'tcha, knuckles?

How much inbreeding happened with your family? Lots of first cousin marriages? Some brother/sister unions in the family tree of knuckle draggers?

California puts more money into the federal government than it gets out, which Texas cannot say.

in other words, tech is fleeing tax heavy california for tax easy texas.

The computer industry actually started in Texas to begin with. Silly Con Valley is a Federal govt. creation; military research spending drove the industry and still does, the parts that aren't sucker bait stock swindles.

More dissembling rubbish. California is a pass through state for goods manufactured in corporate slave colonies overseas. It relies on interstate highways, same as all western states, and its growth was entirely Federally subsidized.

California, and many Northeastern states paid large portions of their interstate highways.

Pass through shipping is not counted as GDP.
