Abolish the electoral college?

What would happen? Republicans would never hold power again?

No, that’s ridiculous. In no world would it lead to a single party state. That’s delusional thinking.

What would actually happen is the Republican Party would become more moderate in an attempt to cultivate more voters. Then the Democrats would slowly move left instead of the constant shift to the right they’ve undergone for the last three decades.

This is the result of just a simple popular vote. Something like rank choice voting could even lead to more viable third parties. Or at least coalitions instead of just two parties.

Somehow this is opposed by those that shout the loudest about “we the people”, but they fail to realize the only word in that statement they care about is “we”.

Just remember, the world is on an endless march towards progress. God will not send judgement. It’s only us.

No justice, no peace.

There’s my political rant for the hour.

not sure what rock you've been sleeping under, but democrats have moved so left in recent decades, that people who were once considered moderates/independents, are now considered far right by the democrats...

@PalteseMalconFunch Lets ask RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, or the dozens of other lifelong democrats that have switched parties recently... 🤔
@wildbill83 I copied and pasted that same passage. The noob is high.

@wildbill83 I’m surprised you don’t remember me or why I wouldn’t care about your inability to understand gender.

You’re barking up the wrong tree homie.

@wildbill83 I love how just existing makes you so angry. It delights me. I’m going to be extra queer just for you.
