Sure, by a slight majority on popular vote.

2019-12-10 04:20:09 UTC  

it should be the popular vote wins

2019-12-10 04:20:11 UTC  

No.

2019-12-10 04:20:29 UTC  

That's tyranny of the majority, you would award a small handful of states the ability to elect a president.

2019-12-10 04:20:30 UTC  

well sorry but thats not how it works

2019-12-10 04:20:33 UTC  

you can vote to change it though

2019-12-10 04:20:38 UTC  

good luck with that <:trumpepe:588019356215279642>

Popular vote marginalizes over 80% of the country. It's exactly why we don't operate on that basis.

2019-12-10 04:21:26 UTC  

There's a reason the founding fathers didn't create a pure democracy.

2019-12-10 04:21:42 UTC  

we should have manditory voting like australia, and the popular vote should win... the electoral college is out dates

2019-12-10 04:21:46 UTC  

so their belongings wouldnt get voted away from them

2019-12-10 04:21:51 UTC  

i disagree with you

2019-12-10 04:21:59 UTC  

No, it's not. Pure popular vote gives all the voting power to a handful of cities.

2019-12-10 04:22:03 UTC  

they knew in a pure democracy wealth redistribution would happen fast

2019-12-10 04:22:06 UTC  

and repeating that position over and over with no substantial reasons as to why it should be that way.. is not very convincing

2019-12-10 04:22:18 UTC  

You would give no voice to states and inspire a new civil war.

2019-12-10 04:22:50 UTC  

There's alot of reason Clinton lost. Understand that it's not simply because of Trump.

2019-12-10 04:23:01 UTC  

lmao, its just a formality

2019-12-10 04:23:11 UTC  

memes, memes made her lose

2019-12-10 04:23:30 UTC  

bruh, you gotta be pretty salty to want to change an entire voting system cause your candidate was an unpopular lizard.

2019-12-10 04:23:31 UTC  

best prank 4chan ever did

2019-12-10 04:23:45 UTC  

the electoral college is what makes our votes not matter

2019-12-10 04:23:49 UTC  

wrong

2019-12-10 04:24:04 UTC  

Ok, so if I live in Montana under your system, my vote doesn't matter.

2019-12-10 04:24:06 UTC  

the people in the elctoral college are appointed by those that we vote in so.. thats just entirely false

2019-12-10 04:24:19 UTC  

Hell, if I live in 40 states with smaller populations, my vote wouldn't matter.

2019-12-10 04:24:35 UTC  

they appoint people that they think their constituents would agree with and that they think is a good fit for that state

2019-12-10 04:24:38 UTC  

evidentially, making up shit is the trendy thing to do tonight

2019-12-10 04:25:19 UTC  

and if people disagree with who is in the electoral college for their state, its just a matter of voting in new representatives.

2019-12-10 04:27:21 UTC  

its not dems fault they're all in cities, if you're college educated, if you want to work in the creative economy, you move to a city.

2019-12-10 04:27:38 UTC  

Sure, but not all cities are populated by the college educated

2019-12-10 04:27:41 UTC  

nope, work online, it's 2019

2019-12-10 04:27:45 UTC  

They're just more densely populated.

2019-12-10 04:28:25 UTC  

Remember, cities are supported by those 'fly-over' states. Take away their voice, and you'll invite some serious conflict.

2019-12-10 04:28:47 UTC  

not to mention these states also grow their food

2019-12-10 04:29:01 UTC  

so... you might want to hear them out. just saying.

2019-12-10 04:30:20 UTC  

youve convinced me

2019-12-10 04:30:46 UTC  

but the current way that districts are made is corrupt and has to change

2019-12-10 04:31:00 UTC  

Sure, I can agree with that.

2019-12-10 04:31:12 UTC  

It's should be an impartial system - hard to create without an accurate census.
