@PurpleToad link to a study that shows they do it 5x more, thanks

It's all good man, I'm always down to check out evidence for a new perspective

my position is that even if its true, i dont care. whatever causes the dems to lose is fine with me

democracy is a sham anyways

Gerrymandering didn't have that much of an impact though

Trump received 304 electoral votes - Clinton only got 227

That's a large disparity.

yeah, democracy didn't have much of an impact in 2016

Muh democracy

What would it take to abolish the electoral college?

Let's not do that.

Revising an amendment like that would be civil war 2.0

funnily enough. even if we did conservatives would still probably win by popular vote. as many conservatives dont vote in blue states since they know itll go blue anyways and their vote wont matter

im not gonna find it, i remember that republicans are at fault more often though, i do this thing where i poke holes in john olivers show, but when i researched this one it was true.

mm hmmm sure

🙂

we'll take your word for it then 😉

It's all good man, but you can't claim Gerrymandering is responsible for Clinton's loss

like i said even if its true, dont care

Trump won 304 electoral votes, Clinton only 227. That's too large to be influence by a few malformed districts.

ok, i say democrats gerrymander 500x more than republicans. i researched it once, so i know

but all that's irrelevant, my point was that more americans voted for hillary

if it was up to me nancy pelosi and naddler would be jailed

Sure, by a slight majority on popular vote.

<:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

it should be the popular vote wins

No.

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

well sorry but thats not how it works

you can vote to change it though

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.

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

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

so their belongings wouldnt get voted away from them

i disagree with you

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

they knew in a pure democracy wealth redistribution would happen fast

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

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