Otherwise, it isn't democratic
There have been over 900 bills proposed to get rid of the college
If it was really so bad, and everyone didn't like it, then how come none of them came to fruition?
Polls have shown that Americans don't want to keep the EC
Doesn't matter what they want
It matters if the bill passes
And it hasn't
That's True
It should pass imo
We should get rid of it
But it won't for some reason
It's not like the electoral college goes and ignores what the people vote for anyway
Basically all the states give all their electoral votes to the candidate who won the popular vote
Sure, but the votes are disproportionate
The electoral college allows for the less populated states' votes to have the same impact as the more populated states, so everyone actually matters
It weights votes differently and assigns electors based on population.
But why should your location matter?
And why over power the small state?
I would be fine with it if the "winner takes all" system is removed
That's unacceptable
electoral college is based off of checks and balances so everyone gets a say in the election process
What about the Republicans in the Blue states and the Democrats in the Red states?
There vote is heard
How So?
You get to vote
Sure, but your vote won't count in the end because the state is guaranteed to vote one party
So everyone voice is heard
Your vote won't count

It's basically a rebuttal to crowders video
ok
i will watch it
@Anon365 Not really
He won fair and square
America is not a democracy
Picking the winner as Clinton would not be fair
America is a representative democracy
If clinton become president there would be a war
It's a federal republic
not a pure democracy
