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

but most of the districts r gerrymandered?

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.

Ugh

So your saying because of near instant communication, and the widespread of information that we can now take out the electoral college in favor of every vote matters individually

What would replace it

It won't be that easy. I am in favor of putting in a system of ranked choice vote before i get rid of the electoral college.

I dislike how we can elect someone to president when they only have 22% of the total votes in the US.

Ninni this is a political discord, and this is a political topic, stop putting queasy reactions to the convo you don't like
