i saw the old stuff
The media could not be played
Bruh
they get a proportional amount of representatives based on their population
the senate is also not the same as a fucking presidency
the purpose of the electoral college is to prevent the tyranny of the majority onto the minority
By encouraging a tyranny of the minority? Ok dude.
And no, the argument that the electoral college somehow prevents a tyranny of the majority onto the minority is simply ludicrous. Literally every democracy works that way.
the US is a republic not a democracy
A republic is a type of democracy.
incorrect
constitutional republic
Arguing over those semantics is fucking stupid.
they're different forms of government
Uh, how do you think we get our representatives?
**By voting**
correct but we don't do things by popular vote
Uh yes we do.
no we don't
Yes we do.
no we don't
the popular vote has never and will never matter in US elections
"muh presidential election" is a vast minority in the type of voting that happens in the US
How the fuck do you think your representatives and senators are chosen?
How do you think those same senators and representatives vote for policies in the house?
How do you think the SCOTUS decides if a policy is constitutional or not?
when it comes to US presidential elections it's the EC
it used to be the same for state elections
