I dont wanna talk to anyone at my job I hate talking
the thing that makes the actual vote useless yes
idk should be abolished imo
@ninni._.burninni so you have a job now?
ah dating advice in the general chat again, i'm off see you all later 👋
No job
Lol
I was just saying
I worked at a place where it was just me and 2 other people really laid back all we did was walk around taking inventory
Jacc, we arent a direct democracy, the electoral college is there to still let the smaller states have a say in the election so that it is not mob rule, does your individual vote matter, in the grand scheme no, but if everyone votes the electoral college takes into account what the people are voting for in their districts.
Probably
The electoral college is the only way every state can have a say in who gets elected @sophiaaaa
removing the electoral college does not immediately make the government a direct democracy
That sounds awesome
Yes, but it would make it more mob rule
no it wouldn't
it literally wouldn't
Where the big cities have all the say
How wouldnt it
we're a democratic republic or a constitutional representative republic
depending on who you ask
We are a constitutional republic
no matter how you try and spin it it won't become mob rule
isn't the point of voting that everyone has a vote
Then what will it become when thw major check on distribution of power for states its taken out
not to make it whoever has power can gerrymander the districts to keep powr
the electoral college may seek to give smaller states a bigger voice but it doesn't seem to do that in practice
Well gerrymandering is wrong, and doesnt happen nearly as much anymore i believe
Wut
How
This is so boring
Its population based
This is not history class
2:00
Ninni, then leave until a new convo starts
No
I cant watch the video currently
I dont have a life
the electoral college does not work anymore. It had its use when the US was a loose federation of territories and states. Maybe it was helpful when we didn't have trains or telegraphs.
