One person One Vote! Not electoral college

In this day and age there really should just be each vote is equal. I live in California with 39 million people and it goes overwhelmingly Democratic. My vote is worth less than a vote in Wyoming or Montana. I think my vote should count as much as theirs!

You will get no argument from anyone living in similar large states, or those in blue states. The system was intended to assure that a population plurality didn't dominate, that was in the 18th century, it seemed a good compromise, but now it works out in the reverse. California has the same 2 senators as each of the Dakotas!

@Thrust if you really believe that fair in 2024, you are on the opposite side of the fence.

@samueltyler2 That's how the Founders insured each state gets equal representation

I thought you were an equity superfan
You can nominate someone now without any votes. (From actual voters). 🙄

Bro literally everyone could vote to get rid of the EC and it wouldn't matter. There's a reason no party entertains it

@BlueGreenGrey difficult? Yeah it's impossible I literally said so earlier. That doesn't change what I said. So I'm not sure what part of reality I'm denying. Perhaps the part where you think any politician is actually on your side and not just less worse than the other

@UndeadSona it isn't just detrimental to the left. It is counter to the actual concept of one person one vote, and representational government based on population.

@samueltyler2 that's on you. I don't feel unsafe but I do fret over the country's future. I've been saying since 2000 the country should split but remain allies.

Too many different agendas and too many that hate their country

@Thrust I don't think anyone hates the country.

Agreed -- elections should be won by the popular vote. Do away with the Electoral College.

Democracy leads to comfort and then the masses start running the country. You aren't for peace,- like when people run the country. You are Great again, the wars never end.

Requires a constitutional amendment which is very unlikely. 😥

Naw. Electoral college is easier. Much easier to corrupt. Just ask Rudy.

californian lives dont matter. anyway mr trump will make california great this fall

The founders were brilliant.. somehow they knew every left wing wanker would end up in NY AND CALI. And didn’t want the rest of amerika to suffer under 2 highly populated areas..

What a pity
