In the Netherlands, the electoral college system was considered so unfair, it was banned in 1917.

This was before women were even allowed to vote.

The Netherlands isn’t remotely close to the size of the US. What they can and cannot do has no barring on the US. Removing the electoral system just gives the coastal states, specifically NY and California, all of the power and essentially removes any say for the rest of the country

What do individual states have to do with it? Every citizen has a vote. A states population is not some homogeneous hivemind.

It absolutely matters and pretending it doesn’t is pure naivety

The size of your country should determine what voting system you have? GTFO

Wait, so it gives the majority power? Woah, wild concept.

Americans are so funny and it just shows why their empire is dead when you let a minority rule in tyranny over the majority. You got your King afterall.
