Republicans haven’t won a popular vote in ~2 decades. The electoral college was specifically put in place because the founders didn’t respect democracy. The SCOTUS was packed with GOP justices through idiotic procedural means and somehow a minority party will have supreme power over that branch as there aren’t any real term limits. You guys don’t give a fuck about actual democracy.

Yup, it always goes back to the red states hating minorities :/

A mob of people attacked/stormed the country’s congress during the vote certification. They assaulted police and were searching for the locations of DNC representatives. If that’s not a coup attempt I don’t know what is. It was a shitty likely impromptu one but an attempt nonetheless to overturn the election results due to Trump attacking the election’s integrity without actual merit as he’s done for several elections, including the one he won -_-

So we’re just ignoring the coup attempt and Trump saying Christians will never have to vote again after he wins with his supporters wearing Trump dictator shirts then :/

I don’t know what that means. We’re talking about term limits.

Yes, along with a change in how they’re put in position

hIlaRiOuS

Yeah, fuck proportional representation. Amirite guys. Look at all those lessers thinking they should get a vote on what controls their lives /s

Reread your second sentence. You’re arguing against yourself. And it’s not the same since electoral votes aren’t in direct proportion to population lol

Stop regurgitating the nonsense you keep hearing from your dumb idols. Removing the electoral college and giving everyone a vote at the federal level does nothing to remove local and state governments. We’d still have a system in gridlock. You’re just whining because your party is vastly outnumbered at the federal level and you need this form of gerrymandering to get your guy in office.

Cities and land shouldn’t vote, people should. At the federal level it makes sense, and is fair, that everyone should have an equal vote regardless of population distribution. Removing the electoral college won’t get rid of local and state governments so your argument has no merit. The electoral college is gerrymandering at a federal level.

It’s not ironic, it’s contradictory.

Did you want to share any thoughts of your own with the class? One, removing the electoral college wouldn’t affect state and local governments. Two, we’re in a situation now where the minority is the ruling class at the federal level. SCOTUS justices, that aren’t elected in a democratic manner, operate in a binary partisan manner. It’s literally minority rule. Not to mention the Jan 6 coup Trump tried to pull off / his years of unfounded attacks on the integrity of elections / and this new whistleblowing “you’ll never need to vote again” nonsense with his supporters wearing Trump for dictator shirts -_-

There are so many quotes from the founding fathers showing their contempt for actual democracy. You’re ignorant if you think a large number of them ever actually respected the idea. Also, the notion of uniting colonies isn’t relevant anymore and is anti democratic so I hope you’re not also bringing that up as an argument for the electoral college today.
