Final popular vote count

[Mayhem]

Sure once its 100% Required for everyone to Vote. 2 States that make up 18% of our population should not speak for the Majority. NY and CA carried her entire vote. without both she lost by over 3mil votes. so sure im fine with the Removal of the EC, Once Voting is 100% Required of every US Citizen.

I don´t think you´d like the outcome of that.

By far and away the most EC votes, and the most representatives, but yeah, has no power.

And still underrepresented, amazing how it can have all of that at the same time, isn´t it?

[Dextroden]

That isn't the point - Donald Clownass Trump is in the office for the next 4 years, we have no way around that catastrophe.

But on the off chance the world survives him - the EC has to be looked at, with no actual function - it needs to be discarded.

You mean like it was looked at after BushGore?

[schwarzkopf]

It will never be discarded.

Then it needs to do its job then....

[Tijuana]

Yes, yes, the evil coastal elites vs. the good and righteous rural folk.




And is still underrepresented and overtaxed.

Over taxed by your own representatives. Just sayin...

It did it's job perfectly. It balanced the power across the whole nation, instead of in just two cities.

I mean, when 99% of the counties go red, it's hard to say it wasn't fair because two counties with high populations went to Hillary.

[Dextroden]

People voted. We have a president. Mission complete.

[Wyrt]

My representatives control the entire federal budget?

[TheRickyB]

I don´t think you´d like the outcome of that.

Sure would. as a independent in MA who voted Trump this year, my vote was worth nothing. 1 other person from my family voted, noone else felt their votes would have mattered. Everyone should have to Vote. there is no middle ground when everyone has to do something. no more "well my vote wont matter" for all sides.

[Tijuana]

Your representatives are tax and spend liberals, yes. Complaining about debt when you are sitting in the epicenter of the earthquake (no offense for the pun), is a bit rich.

[Wyrt]

Your representatives are tax and spend liberals, yes.

So, liberals are the ones who are propping up the failed red states then?

[Deleted]

This means nothing.

Are you really that insecure in yourself and your own opinion that you have to lash out against statistics presented without bias?

[Saucexorzski]

The next Democrat who runs for president better run on a "remove the EC" or else this is nothing but a distraction.

So you think it's good that people who have different views that your own should have votes that count for less?

[Tijuana]

No, Liberals are spending more than we collect. It's nice that you provide a tax base but, you spend more than you provide so what good does it do?

You DO realize they have no power to do that, right? This is not Vietnam, Smoky. This is bowling. There are rules.

Yes. Hating California and New York for being dirty liberal elites is why they are against people having an equal voice in the government.

I'm fine with not paying for shitty red states that hate me. Would be a nice spending cut.

[CrypticSoul]

Clearly the "will of the people."

Clearly. The election is not meant to be decided by 1 or 2 giant cities like NYC or LA. Get over it.

[schwarzkopf]

You mean like it was looked at after BushGore?

Yeah - but the difference there was Bush wasn't an unsuitable president, just and undesirable one.

[Wyrt]

Clearly. The election is not meant to be decided by 1 or 2 giant cities like NYC or LA. Get over it.

Why are people in NYC and LA worth less than people elsewhere?

There are generally more democrats than republicans... so changing it to compulsory voting would almost certainly lead to democrats winning.

They will never get over it. They will never admit when things get better either. They will just keep on playing identity politics, and calling everyone a racist. Any day now, that whole strategy of insulting every person alive is going to pay off with mad votes. Any day now....any day....

Because a country thousands of miles wide should not ONLY be ruled by two counties.

It's not about having the power to do it or not, it's about these folks whining putting it to those they claim should have won. I doubt very much removing the EC will be part of the next Democrat platform, but if it matters as much as these folks so much well, they out too at least try, else they are just blowing facts.
