Hillary Clinton says the Electoral College 'needs to be eliminated'

We do have a system that gets us as close to 'equality' as we can get. You seem to think the popular vote would give equality? Nope. It would give all power to the urban centers in the country. Rural voters, voters in smaller states would all be silenced.

since the number of electoral votes of each state is 2 (all states) plus additional votes based on population (and people) we already have a system in place that permits all states and people equality in picking the president.......isn't great how they already figured that out in the 1780s and you didn't suggest it until now?.........

It's a frigging lame point. It's like saying, "well, if you take away TX..."

I've actually heard righties say "if you take away NY, CA and the coasts..." People are people. "If you take away CA" is an incredibly lame point, because they're Americans, they vote, and barring a major earthquake, no one is taking CA away.

Yes thing... just as it is fucking LAME to run around screaming that Hillary had more votes. IT DOESN"T FUCKING MATTER UNDER OUR SYSTEM.

and again... if you want that debate, then pointing out the fact that one state made such a huge difference proves why the electoral college is in place to begin with. You cannot cry about the popular vote and then not break it down into more detailed analysis.

It's not really an "analysis." What you're essentially saying is that people in CA matter less. Their votes shouldn't count as full votes.

How the fuck do you get the above from what I wrote? You are almost as bad as desh these days. You must be a racist.

No, we have not. But I certainly understand your desire not to be proven wrong again. It is simple math. So don't question something so simple if you don't wish to discuss it.
