which is not what America was founded on

Nope

Oops

The EC being removed only changes the way the president is elected

I meant it was a constitional republic

sorry

Correct

that would be popular vote

which is democratic

Not a federal republic but a constitutional republic

EC is useless

The US would still be governed by representatives

"A constitutional republic is a form of government, where the head of state and other representatives are elected from a group of people."

No it's not

the EC is perfectly fine

notice the "group of people"

Which is what the EC is

as any elector can change their stance

which in a democracy they can't

Which is fine by me tbh

Obviously trump supporters are going to like the EC since it lets them win even if they are the minority lol

Not really

it's more of the fact that it's not a pure democracy

and the founding fathers created it

with good thoughts

If we change the way the president is elected, will there be chaos?

I guarentee you would say the same if Trump won the pop vote but lost

Will the country collapse?

Thats not the point

thats not how you justify removing something like the EC

The point is the EC prevents a democracy

which is true and good

The point of the EC is to prevent someone who is unqualified from becoming elected obviously that failed considering who won in 2016

Not really

Trump is damn qualified

As we've seen through his track record since Jan 2017

he did more than Obama could in 8 years

If we change the way the president is elected, we won't be a pure democracy

A pure democracy is when citizens vote on every law

We'd be a democracy

No'
