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

You cant tell me what to do
Ok, can you explain your idea of ranked vote
That is also not how a democracy should work. Yes, there's the argument against mob rule but we do still have a constitution.
Booooooooooring
A ranked choice voting system lets you rank your candidates from most favorite to least favorite
There should be a channel for this boring talk
So how would that work on the grand scale then

@米饭和面条 who I vote for is who I vote for
I just wanna hear you out
I wish I had friends to hangout with
Before I put out what I think about it
I hate my life
well, most people would put whoever they want to become president as their first choice. If their first choice does not become president then their vote goes to their second choice and so on and so forth
.warn @ninni._.burninni rule 13
@ninni._.burninni you find 90% of conversations boring and if we only talk about what you find interesting the chat would stay dead
@米饭和面条 hmmmm ya, rank would allow for that,
So the president that wins would get all the votes?
Are you fucking serious
Wtf is rule 13
but wouldn't that let more fraud? since its more floating around who you voted?

@Lucario well fuck u
in theory that destroys the mentality of "lesser of two evils", that is, "I like x candidate but I think y candidate (who i despise) will win so I will vote for z candidate (of who I am indifferent or despise less)
U mad af @ninni._.burninni
You would have technically voted for everyone and no one at the same time
not necessarily
I will say its an interesting idea
^
I still dont know what its for though
you can be limited to a scale of three candidates that you can choose
I think thats more of a problem with America only really having 2 parties
ranked choice is the same as, if you're voting third party, you're wasting your vote, so vote blue so we can get rid of the electoral college to give third parties a larger chance at getting the presidency
which is exactly why we need to get rid of the electoral college
