Remind me again how the Electoral College elected Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh supposedly exposed his gavel to someone during a drunken electoral college party, but his buddies covered for him so he got confirmed.

That means electoral college is elitist, and everyone should be forced to go to regular college.

And slavery.

Yeah because I think a few million illegal aliens in Los Angeles and New York City should totally be able to pick the same kind of politicians that caused them to flee their own countries regardless of what the other 48 states want

A majority of the people who live in big cities and very popular states believe in abolishing the Electoral College. I was having an argument meant with my 17 year old daughter and telling her if the Electoral College was done away with then soon rural America would descend into a hell worse than those depicted in Charles Dickens. The young idiot even believes that the EC superceeds the vote made within the state's themselves. I had to explain how it worked and it was like a World Series where each state is an individual contest with certain points assigned to it by population. It was painful because they don't teach some shit about government in schools anymore.

Because we all want to be ruled from a few overcrowded and clinically insane metropolitan areas on the East and West Coast.
And Chicago. Don’t forget Chicago.
Neah, I think we’ll stay with the Electoral College.
Now if only we could get rid of the direct election of Senators.

she should check out Brazil:

Bolsonaro: 46.7% - 96% reporting; Haddad, Workers Party (PT): 28.4%.

8 Oct: UK Express: Brazilian Trump? Exit polls show ‘TSUNAMI’ in favour of right-wing presidential candidate
BRAZIL could elect its very own Donald Trump as a populist, former army captain who praises dictatorships could become the next Brazilian president, polls have indicated.
By Sam Stevenson
Murillo de Arag, head of the Arko political risk firm in Brasilia, said: “Exit polls are showing a tsunami.”

Mr Bolsonaro, who compares his campaign to US President Donald Trump’s 2016 run, dismissed as “fake news” the accusations of sexism, racism and homophobia that he has stirred with a record of offensive comments...

An Ibope exit poll for the Rio de Janeiro governor race showed former judge Wilson Witzel, a Bolsonaro ally, scoring a shock victory over former Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes.
The result offers a substantial boost to presidential hopeful Mr Bolsonaro’s campaign as his political ideology takes root and gains ground in the colossal South American nation...

A deep disillusionment has been sown in the minds of the Brazilian public as they blame PT (Workers Party) for rampant corruption which has led to successive impeachments...

Easy. Electoral college makes it much more difficult for massive voter fraud in a few big states to fraudulently put a Hillary in the White House.

Maybe but it’s also dangerous

The electoral college is the thing that protects the whole country against the mob

No, author is a fool...she is NOT ignorant...do you not think Cortez hasn’t been trained to say we need to eliminate the EC???

I hate it when our side thinks the Left doesn’t know what they are doing or saying.

All the cool kids are calling for an end to the EC. So there is no chance of an amendment but they will take to the streets and burn stuff. Morons.

I think this may have been a scene from the movie “Idiocracy”.

". . .eliminate the Electoral College, a shadow of slavery’s power . . ."

Stupid little tart must get really upset that the four largest States in the union don't select the President and the rest of the country just sucks the hind teat.

It's people like her who want to turn "We The People" into "huddled masses yearning to be free" on par economically with the immigrants they're flooding the country with.
