    It would be stealing the rights away from the States and handing it to the individual citizen.

    No it wouldn't. If the EC was abolished it would be done so procedurally and therefore be the law of the land.

    Not everyone, who isn't part of the Republican party, is a socialist or a communist. It's beyond silly for you to even suggest such. I know plenty of people who aren't Repubs who are far from a socialist or communist.

    Why do Trumpers think rural, red states should be disproportionately represented in the House, Senate, and the EC?

    psst........i already know the answer.

    So you think the government cannot steal?

    Of course if it was abolished it would be done through a Constitutional amendment and ratified by the states. The states would be letting the federal government do the theft. They would be voluntarily be giving up a portion of their sovereignty and gaining nothing for the loss. More then a third of the states would be voluntarily lessening the impact of their citizens votes while a fourth would be strengthening their impact. It would be gross negligence on the part of the smaller states to agree to it.

    Left's new talking point: The Electoral College is racist

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who's a leading indicator of Democratic talking points, recently called the Electoral College "A shadow of slavery's power."....snip~


    :roll:


    Uhm no. Just a leftist talking point. Got to get that racial divide in.

    So you think having two senators for a state with a tiny population is fair?

    Yeah I know independents aren't. Of course Neo Cons/Demo lite leftists got their roots with Socialism. But now they have been reduced to practically nothing in the Repub party.

    Only on a nationally elected president who represents all citizens, not individual states. No rights would be stolen from states.

    We will have to disagree on that since if my state agreed to it then a portion of my vote would have been stolen from me without my consent. I would vote against it.

    The right to choose the President is a State right.

    They are for white people. Trump annihilated Clinton amongst whites, it was a landslide. This is why the Democrats hate white people so much. This is why every law they seek to pass is purposely aimed at harming the maximum number of white people.

    Its really just a coincidence that the popular vote has swung two votes to republicans recently. It's only happened 5 times. Its only the two modern times that it happened to the more left wing candidates. There were other times where it almost happened to conservative candidates. If John Kerry picked up one more state, he would of been another one who lost the popular vote and won the elecortorial college. The idea that the electoral college favors conservatives based on a survey size of two makes no sense.

    You make up for it in Congressman.They handle the money and have a lot of power. California could have 12 Congressmen to R.I. two.
