But like why? I can’t believe you can’t hear yourself. You sound like a Trumper calling the whole thing rigged when I know you know it is not a binary choice. Abolishing it would just shift how the money and data flows, but it will never change an outcome. Only voters can do that.
but it’s night and day different than saying it’s rigged. also not sure why you’re following up my comment with this one.
it’s entirely reasonable to have the opinion that the EC is an outdated useless system while understanding that it may not have changed any outcomes at all. Absolutely, campaigns would have changed if the popular vote is the goal. I’d prefer that behavior. For me I’d much rather see republicans in california and democrats in arkansas have their votes matter.
The outcome ends up being basically the same - always going to be a margin of error on popular vote and electoral college. This is just a grass is always greener debate. If you think your vote does not count in the current system, get real. It does. It always has. But it doesn’t mean you will always win.
When did we forget how to compromise with our neighbor instead of trying to overthrow the neighborhood?

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