How wouldnt it

2020-10-17 15:10:12 UTC  

we're a democratic republic or a constitutional representative republic

2020-10-17 15:10:15 UTC  

but most of the districts r gerrymandered?

2020-10-17 15:10:15 UTC  

depending on who you ask

2020-10-17 15:10:23 UTC  

We are a constitutional republic

2020-10-17 15:10:27 UTC  

no matter how you try and spin it it won't become mob rule

2020-10-17 15:10:43 UTC  

isn't the point of voting that everyone has a vote

2020-10-17 15:11:00 UTC  

Then what will it become when thw major check on distribution of power for states its taken out

2020-10-17 15:11:03 UTC  

not to make it whoever has power can gerrymander the districts to keep powr

2020-10-17 15:11:40 UTC  

the electoral college may seek to give smaller states a bigger voice but it doesn't seem to do that in practice

2020-10-17 15:11:40 UTC  

Well gerrymandering is wrong, and doesnt happen nearly as much anymore i believe

2020-10-17 15:11:44 UTC  

Wut

2020-10-17 15:11:49 UTC  

How

2020-10-17 15:11:55 UTC  

This is so boring

2020-10-17 15:11:58 UTC  

Its population based

2020-10-17 15:12:11 UTC  

This is not history class

2020-10-17 15:12:17 UTC  

2:00

2020-10-17 15:12:31 UTC  

Ninni, then leave until a new convo starts

2020-10-17 15:12:39 UTC  

No

2020-10-17 15:12:40 UTC  

I cant watch the video currently

2020-10-17 15:12:47 UTC  

I dont have a life

2020-10-17 15:13:01 UTC  

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.

2020-10-17 15:13:30 UTC  

Ugh

2020-10-17 15:13:54 UTC  

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

2020-10-17 15:14:10 UTC  

What would replace it

2020-10-17 15:14:39 UTC  

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.

2020-10-17 15:14:56 UTC  

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

2020-10-17 15:14:59 UTC  

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

2020-10-17 15:15:04 UTC  

^

2020-10-17 15:15:20 UTC  

You cant tell me what to do

2020-10-17 15:15:27 UTC  

Ok, can you explain your idea of ranked vote

2020-10-17 15:15:32 UTC  

That is also not how a democracy should work. Yes, there's the argument against mob rule but we do still have a constitution.

2020-10-17 15:15:36 UTC  

Booooooooooring

2020-10-17 15:15:47 UTC  

A ranked choice voting system lets you rank your candidates from most favorite to least favorite

2020-10-17 15:15:55 UTC  

There should be a channel for this boring talk

2020-10-17 15:16:04 UTC  

So how would that work on the grand scale then

2020-10-17 15:16:08 UTC

@米饭和面条 who I vote for is who I vote for

2020-10-17 15:16:13 UTC  

I just wanna hear you out

2020-10-17 15:16:30 UTC  

I wish I had friends to hangout with

2020-10-17 15:16:36 UTC  

Before I put out what I think about it
