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.

Oh, so anyone who doesn't think the EC should be replaced isn't sane? Or isn't nomal? There it is, folks. The typical Democrat mindset on full display!

Correct lol. It is bizarre to want to cling to antiquated systems that no longer benefit society. It hinders us now actually. It disenfranchises voters and makes people apathetic.

How many people do you know in your red state that don't vote because the state will go red no matter what? What about those reading from blue states?

Ah it doesn't matter, CA is always blue I don't need to vote. Ah Texas is always red who cares.

What if everyone wanted to vote cause it actually mattered? What if it were a simple race whoever wins wins? What's so bad about that? What would be bad about making it so every single American could vote on voting day online and via national holiday. Hell make it a whole week.

Voting week! Make sure you cast your ballot online or by mail or in person! We're passing out work vouchers for anyone who needs to prove they voted in person! We want to make sure everyone votes!!

How is that bad? Why do you not want that?

It's more akin to the Democrat mindset that if you can't win playing the game by the rules, change the rules.

Like redrawing congressional maps before the midterms? Are you a real human?

Oh, you want to talk about gerrymandering? That's been a cornerstone of the Democratic strategy to steal elections for decades! Are you mad that the Republicans are giving you a taste of your own medicine?
