I'd be against the electoral college if Hillary had won too.

I'm not bitter about the results. I'm opposed to swing state privilege.

Florida shouldn't get a greater say just because it's a battle ground. Nor should Ohio or any of them. I want every vote equal.

Besides when you make it about the urban vs rural divide you're basically saying that A Farmer should have a greater say than Urbanized doctors in the big cities because why? You're basically saying the less informed should have a greater say just because.

Candidates for office employ a strategy of campaigning in the battle grounds while ignoring the states they're either hopelessly behind or far ahead in. Hillary Clinton ignored Oregon just as much as trump did.

It's about the way candidates actually campaign in the real world. [i][b]I want to change the way campaigns are run. http[/b][/i]://www.nationalpopularvote.com/campaign-events-2016

Agree with you on all points, pretty much. The Electoral College was created by a group of men who believed the right to vote should be limited to white males, mostly educated and property-owing in order to keep power out of the hands of the uneducated masses of the country.

And you've called me a troll several hundred times but you don't see me getting all triggered about it.

@USAalltheway: Sadly enough, it has only been about 10 times. =( But we can both be optimistic!

Actually, rural farmers should have more of a say because they're ordinary Americans who live in the real world and understand common sense. Ivory league liberals only understand academic bullcrap that doesn't apply to the real world. The Founding Fathers understood that when they designed the electoral college.

@USAalltheway: Well, pretty sure I was discussing logical fallacies, but cool. Have a good night and don't stay up too late. A rested troll is a happy troll.

Let me help you understand how economics works. When the government gives you something, it's a handout. When your family gives you something, it's equal opportunity.

I completely agree with you here.
