Of course regressive liberals think the system failed when it resulted in a candidate they don't like and who hurts their feelings daily. Much easier to blame the electoral college than the millions of lazy fellow liberals who decided not to vote on Election Day. Yeah who would have thought people in a democratic republic would complain when a president who won the democratic vote is not elected. It's insanity! Almost as if they actually mean it when they say elections should be democratic. Huh. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.2.1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

The electoral college exists so a candidate can't just campaign in the biggest cities and states and win
Which is exactly what happened to Hillary Clinton. She ignored the midwest and lost because of it. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time ... Copied to Clipboard!

The electoral college exists so a candidate can't just campaign in the biggest cities and states and win Get this: She ignored the Midwest because most considered it a sure win for Democrats. In other words, she didn't campaign there because of the electoral college. Mind blown, right? And tell me, when was the last time someone seriously campaigned in a small state like Montana or Wyoming. According to you it makes candidates campaign in those states...right? --- Posted with GameRaven 3.2.1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

So she lost the popular vote in the midwest... that doesn't help your argument
She won the popular vote thanks to big wins in California (4.2 million votes) and New York (1.7 million votes) and Trump won most of upstate New York btw --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time ... Copied to Clipboard!

Because voting regulations vary from state to state, moving to a popular vote disproportionately benefits the Democrats. It would be rather easy for Blue states to legitimately inflate voting tolls.

It was to prevent a demagogue from being elected if they won the popular vote, except it's exactly what helped Trump get elected. They didn't foresee that officials would lack a spine and vote along party lines anyways. Article 2 doesn't even mandate a popular vote, but lets the state legislatures each decide how to determine its electors. ... Copied to Clipboard!

To win the election, you have to win the popular vote in each state. Therefore Hillary lost the popular vote in the midwest That is an awfully simplistic reasoning of why she lost the election. As I said, she ignored the midwest precisely because the EC exists, yet you are arguing the EC prevents that. When was the last time a small state like Wyoming was the centerpiece of a campaign? --- David Mink. Hero. https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6043/6337878059_009dd4c4f3_z.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Serious, semi-tangental question, what rural rights are being ignored by urban population voters. I understand the poor economies they are dealing with but am not sure, outside of not subsidizing failing industry, their interests are and how they are not being addressed.
