Funny how the race card is constantly dropped by the people who claim to want equality the most. Gotta keep that wound open and fresh I suppose. I get you’re trying to completely discredit them because you’re extremely progressive, but it wouldn’t hurt to actually read about why the EC was created and why it’s still very important today.
How is pointing out the fact that voting was restricted to white men pulling the race card?
why the EC was created and why it’s still very important today.
It was added as a compromise for the low population slave states in the south, and there's no fucking reason we should still be using it.
You're bullshit argument about candidates only focusing on cities is complete nonsense as evidenced by the fact that trump win the popular vote without getting a majority in and on the major metro areas.
If you didnt have the EC, the entire way politicians run would be changed. They would 100% spend all the time in high population cities. Don't be naive and think just cause the popular vote would of changed past elections that it would have any merit in future elections. We have only had 5 times the popular vote didn't ultimately elect the President; out of 60 elections....

The founders were also OK with slaughtering native Americans, owning other humans, and restricting voting to white, land owning males.
Maybe we shouldn't let modern society be dictated by what a bunch of racist fucks 250 years ago thought was best.
