Democracies, oligarchies, technocracies, and dictatorships.

Oh

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

- What is your opinion on the electoral college?

Absolutely one of the most important things ever designed. Avoiding tyranny of the majority while still allowing democracy is important.

^

Democracy itself is not a good system currently. People are too stupid to vote with a brain cell.

Agreed.

We need to educate the voters ...and I mean educate...not this propaganda called a school system.

Yeet that motherfucker out on its ass and install a direct democratic vote because preventing tyranny of the majority is what representatives in Congress and the unending terms of Supreme Court Justices are for.

You realize without the electoral college we’d have Hillary right?

It keeps the insane liberal states from electing a president for all the heartland conservative states.

Gottem

@Attika Your first mistake was thinking I considered that result a bad thing.

So you would have preferred Hillary?

Really?

democrazy gay tbh

🤦🏼‍♂️

@Attika I would have preferred common sense. Let me try to explain it this way.

Imagine a Californian had 1 vote in a presidential election.

With the electoral college we currently have in place, a Wyomingite can vote more than 3 times in that same election.

@Attika Please, explain to me why you believe this is reasonable.

This is why.

Look at the big picture. Missouri has a different culture, climate and values than a population heavy state like California or New York.

It keeps a few large metropolises who have no idea what they are doing from telling how the country needs to act.

Why does everyone care about equal representation so much

I’m looking at the big picture. I’m just looking at it differently than you do. Each person is an individual and they deserve individual consideration as to who they believe should be their leader instead of being grouped together by arbitrary lines drawn on a map.

How about only I can vote

I saw this most obviously in Washington state. Where the west is super liberal and full of large cities and crime and everything horrible. But in the east they are average Hicks. Yet because the west inflicts so many rules and laws such as a porch permit, just the permit, that costs 7000 dollars, it hinders development and freedoms because the west is trying to run the east as if they were a city.

Now imagine that only on a country scale

@Eoppa That makes about as much sense as the electoral college does in the modern world.

Democracy as a whole doesn't make sense

Bruh let's just expand the means of politics to the whole place

You have New York, California and bunch of population heavy cities demanding how the people who live in the country and on ranches how to live.

At the end it seems to be very fair.

no it doesnt

Democratic liberals win sometimes. Conservatives win sometimes. Unless you’d rather the Democrats have a monopoly on the country.
