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

2019-01-05 19:55:56 UTC  

Not really

2019-01-05 19:56:01 UTC  

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

2019-01-05 19:56:06 UTC  

and the founding fathers created it

2019-01-05 19:56:09 UTC  

with good thoughts

2019-01-05 19:56:22 UTC  

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

2019-01-05 19:56:28 UTC  

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

2019-01-05 19:56:32 UTC  

Will the country collapse?

2019-01-05 19:56:36 UTC  

Thats not the point

2019-01-05 19:56:44 UTC  

thats not how you justify removing something like the EC

2019-01-05 19:56:55 UTC  

The point is the EC prevents a democracy

2019-01-05 19:56:58 UTC  

which is true and good

2019-01-05 19:56:59 UTC  

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

2019-01-05 19:57:04 UTC  

Not really

2019-01-05 19:57:06 UTC  

Trump is damn qualified

2019-01-05 19:57:19 UTC  

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

2019-01-05 19:57:24 UTC  

he did more than Obama could in 8 years

2019-01-05 19:57:33 UTC  

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

2019-01-05 19:57:42 UTC  

A pure democracy is when citizens vote on every law

2019-01-05 19:57:43 UTC  

We'd be a democracy

2019-01-05 19:57:50 UTC  

No'

2019-01-05 19:57:56 UTC  

And we wouldn't be a constitional republic

2019-01-05 19:57:57 UTC  

We would be a federal republic

2019-01-05 19:58:07 UTC  

The whole point is to be a constitutional republic

2019-01-05 19:58:11 UTC  

abolishing the EC stops that

2019-01-05 19:59:02 UTC  

The electors vote for what the population votes for

2019-01-05 19:59:11 UTC  

Lol

2019-01-05 19:59:12 UTC  

Nope

2019-01-05 19:59:14 UTC  

That makes 0 sense

2019-01-05 19:59:14 UTC  

they don't have to

2019-01-05 19:59:19 UTC  

They do

2019-01-05 19:59:20 UTC  

Whats so hard to understand

2019-01-05 19:59:22 UTC  

No they don't

2019-01-05 19:59:25 UTC  

Otherwise, their position is in risk

2019-01-05 19:59:26 UTC  

you don't understand the EC then

2019-01-05 19:59:32 UTC  

Obviously now he’s qualified since he’s the president

2019-01-05 19:59:33 UTC  

the EC can vote for the opposite

2019-01-05 19:59:35 UTC  

or not vote

2019-01-05 19:59:46 UTC  

Chad I would say Obama was unqualified

2019-01-05 19:59:48 UTC  

Why should a bunch of men vote and not the people

2019-01-05 19:59:50 UTC  

since he was an economic illiterate
