Hilariously STUPID tweet by a clueless idiot who couldn't garner more votes than Hillary Clinton. What a dumbass...
I could give a fuck about a rural state. Abolish the electoral college. Mind you, third party candidates and independents will gain
They can't get an electoral vote anywhere really. A strong independant can get a few million votes that count. People will be more likely to vote 3rd party, because it actually counts
people stop voting for the dems and repubs...eventually they'll become like Sears and Pennys...used to be popular
I guess psychologically, that might be true - but it isn't clear to me. I would argue that a third party candidate is more likely to be competitive in a single state than to do well across the entire nation. Losing by a huge margin nationally rather than on a state-by-state basis doesn't seem like it would be all that much more impressive, but I guess the final score would not be '0' as it is in the electoral college. barfo
They did it because it was the only way to get the less populous States to join the Union. It's time to make every voter's vote equal.
The less populous States have more pull per voter than the more populous States. This is not pulling equally, this is pulling disproportionately.
Lol no they won't. The 2 parties with the most money still will prosper. As long as we have plurality voting, both parties will continue to dominate.
It could be a Starbucks Pres. Just not one of the Socialist, free everything, open borders, anti ice presidents
This isn't the thread for this, as I don't want to turn this thread about the EC into everything else. So, I won't comment further. Haha
