Rypt 07/31/21 12:19:05 AM #1:	To put it into simple terms, if we go by the popular vote, then what happens is the few states with highest populations of people (California, Texas, New York, etc.) will be making the decisions on how the entire country lives. Smaller states like Delaware, Rhode Island, Idaho, Nebraska, etc, would basically have no say so in anything. And that can lead to riots, protests, and possibly revolution. <cite>Rypt posted [p:956630528] in Why we hav...

It's called empathy and giving a shit about your fellow humans, you fucking fascist. You say you care about me and then call me a 'fucking fascist'. That sounds so caring.

States aren't monolithic voting blocks, and we're past the days where people identified more with their states than with their country. That someone can win despite fewer people voting for them is fucking stupid. That is not how democracy should work. Electoral college means that politicians focus on swing states, not small states. Electoral college, or at least the winner take all aspect of it, means that people who don't vote with their state basically get their vote thrown out. --- They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn <cite>PMarth2002 posted [p:956631078] in Why we hav...
