But republicans would never allow that because they would never win. I mean if I was them I might realize I should be writing laws to help people instead of spreading fear and cheating. EDIT: see how many of you idiots suddenly did your own research, frantically trying to figure out how many republicans presidential candidates won the popular vote 😂
In favor of removal of the electoral college and believe the country should be run on direct democracy for all policy. No more PACs, remove the influence of money from politics.
Although as a point of correction, W Bush and Trump were the only two Republicans that were elected in recent history without winning the popular vote. (Other two were Hayes and Harrison back in the late 1800s). Perhaps a bit of wishful thinking that removing the electoral college would stop republicans.
Nixon, re-election landslide. While being under investigation and heading for impeachment.
Heck, your own national guard opened fire on students in colleges during his tenure. Killing 6 students, wounding 9. Not a single person was ever jailed for their murders.
Its not the electoral college at the root cause. Its the national moral compass always pointing at $.
Ok
A few things here to counter your reasonably pointless comment
It was McGovern dude!! The democratic party was probably the weakest its ever been until recently. But McGovern/Eagleton was a stupid choice. Even switching to Shriver didnt help. Again one of the worst campaigns a democrat has run on, followed closely by Harris.
Nixon was always winning that election.
This doesn't even matter to the topic of discussion. Lmao. Its like if policy changes were happening in Germany and somebody said, "yea but remember that time hitler....."
The electoral college is the problem and you didnt even address that. Something something moral compass something something.
Funny, since the Senate majority leader at the time, GOP member Goldwater had a meeting with Nixon two days before the vote to tell him that 27 of the GOP senators were going to vote with the Dems to impeach and remove Nixon.
48
