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.

2020-11-04 21:25:14 UTC  

the US is a republic not a democracy

2020-11-04 21:25:23 UTC  

A republic is a type of democracy.

2020-11-04 21:25:29 UTC  

incorrect

2020-11-04 21:25:33 UTC  

constitutional republic

2020-11-04 21:25:34 UTC  

Arguing over those semantics is fucking stupid.

2020-11-04 21:25:39 UTC  

they're different forms of government

2020-11-04 21:25:41 UTC  

Uh, how do you think we get our representatives?

2020-11-04 21:25:45 UTC  

**By voting**

2020-11-04 21:26:04 UTC  

correct but we don't do things by popular vote

2020-11-04 21:26:08 UTC  

Uh yes we do.

2020-11-04 21:26:12 UTC  

no we don't

2020-11-04 21:26:15 UTC  

Yes we do.

2020-11-04 21:26:20 UTC  

no we don't

2020-11-04 21:26:33 UTC  

the popular vote has never and will never matter in US elections

2020-11-04 21:26:36 UTC  

"muh presidential election" is a vast minority in the type of voting that happens in the US

2020-11-04 21:26:47 UTC  

How the fuck do you think your representatives and senators are chosen?

2020-11-04 21:27:04 UTC  

How do you think those same senators and representatives vote for policies in the house?

2020-11-04 21:27:17 UTC  

How do you think the SCOTUS decides if a policy is constitutional or not?

2020-11-04 21:27:35 UTC  

when it comes to US presidential elections it's the EC
it used to be the same for state elections

2020-11-04 21:27:57 UTC  

until some idiot changed it

2020-11-04 21:28:14 UTC  

which allows places like NYC and NOVA to outvote the rest of the state combined

2020-11-04 21:28:21 UTC  

uh what?

2020-11-04 21:28:43 UTC  

NOVA (northern VA) has more population than the rest of the state

2020-11-04 21:29:01 UTC  

same with NYC

2020-11-04 21:29:10 UTC  

and alot of other cities

2020-11-04 21:29:13 UTC  

Ok?

2020-11-04 21:30:59 UTC  

for example NYC alone could overrule entire states because of it's population
if we did it by popular vote than the only places that would matter would be big cities who are all democrat strongholds which would effectively turn the US into a mob ruled one party state

2020-11-04 21:31:06 UTC  

no it wouldn't

2020-11-04 21:31:10 UTC  

bruh

2020-11-04 21:31:12 UTC  

yes it would

2020-11-04 21:31:28 UTC  

Do Japan, Australia, France, Britain, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, and every other developed country live under mob rule? I need a simple yes or no.

2020-11-04 21:31:30 UTC  

have you seen how many people live in LA,NYC and chigago alone?

2020-11-04 21:32:00 UTC  

yes they do Japan is a one party state basically and many of those countries have governments that are corrupt as shit

2020-11-04 21:32:20 UTC  

They literally aren't.

2020-11-04 21:32:21 UTC  

Sweden has implemented sharia in parts of their countries

2020-11-04 21:32:35 UTC  

You know absolutely nothing about those countries and you know absolutely nothing about mob rule or democracy.
