I’ve always wanted a popular vote election
But at the very least Obama won under commanding fashion, with the popular vote
If you win the popular vote I don’t care if you become president
Because you are who the people chose
The representative system is there for a very good reason
To balance out the voting between small and large cities
Being president isn’t and should not be a popularity contest alone
Alright let’s just say real quick that people from LA just said fuck it and moved
You realize they could flip like 10 states blue
And keep California blue
Perhaps
And they can do it
Nobody is stopping them
But why punish them for where they live
It’s not a punishment
It’s about fairness
The people in the small states would suffer under your plan
Just because they have less people
How would small states suffer anymore
Because there’s literally less people there
So less votes
Or Alaska
Look you don’t seem to understand a weighted system
If we had it your way the big cities would decide everything
And everyone else would be screwed
Is that fair ?
Not for sure
A lot of conservatives don’t vote in California and New York and other liberal strong holds
Same for liberals in Texas and shit
I’m not sure I see the point you are trying to make
Beyond blue states vote blue
Those actual millions of votes Hillary led by
Would be a lot less or even none if all them conservatives got out and voted
Sure wouldn’t have swung the election or state
But it would make the shit competitive
Also
Yea that is assumption and guess work
You don’t know that for a fact
Thanks for admitting you want the current system because you know you can’t win the battle of ideas
