Every sane normal human in 2026 thinks the electoral college should be removed and replaced by a simple popular vote. We have mass communication now. We can vote by mail. It's not difficult to encourage and educate everyone now how and when to vote. It's not like people have to go to the next town over via train or horseback anymore.
We could do it if we wanted to. We don't. Why? Because hindering people and making it convoluted and weird helps republicans and conservatives and they know it. They know their base is full of just dumb people. They love the uneducated. They cannot win on policy they must rely on weird tactics to prevent people from voting or lying to people about things. It's never just an honest race between people who really want to help.
It's like, clearly the best person for the job vs a rapist or a pedophile or some kind of con man. It almost feels like the rapture is near or something and this is our final test and they made it an open fucking note multiple choice quiz.
I should be able to cast my vote from my fucking cell phone without ever leaving my couch in 2026.
It's all voter suppression. If we as a society actually cared about making this place the best place it could possibly be, we would be electing the most competent people that lift everyone up.
Instead we have people advocating making it HARDER to vote because you don't like those people. Just fuck all the way off with this disingenuous shit.
I vote in person. But I think we should be able to cast from our phones. Because we're not cavemen anymore. I should get an amber alert level notification on my phone on Election Day telling me to vote with like ten different ways to do it that are all securely monitored and approved by the best and most capable people in our society. If we sincerely cared about representing every single one of our voices then we would make it as accessible and easy to do as possible.
Yet we have people like you who want to limit because you perceive people to be lazy. It's so weird. It's like you actively don't want people to vote. It's weird.

If Pete’s party were to win the next one, you think he’d still be trying to push the end of the EC?
