    Getting rid of the college means the votes of myself and millions of my fellow americans will become irrelevant. It would mean that the states in middle america located between the the coasts will no longer be able to decide national elections which is the goal of the left with all this.

    And it also means that Donald Trump cannot be reelected in 2020 or that anybody like Trump could never be elected again.

    The left's popular vote mob rule will be the death of individual liberty and free democratic elections.

    Very clever and evil are always the left's intentions.
    It's the other way around silly. When you're told 3,000,000 votes didn't matter, then you can complain like us. What you're afraid of that could happen to you, is our reality. so suck it up, daffodil.

    trying to assert that New York City has a communist government makes you look like a drunken moron.

    How so cwacko?

    What's partisan about it?

    If you understand that we are supposed to live in a constitutional republic and not a democracy which you do, what makes you think I would call for the end of the college if my candidate won a popular majority but lost on the college?

    You're the one who's being partisan here because you are a never Trumper, not I.

    You're speculating incorrectly my friend.

    I know that the USA is a Federation, and that the rights of all the States have to be accommodated. The problem is that your parties and your elections are national, not, as in the EU, those of the individual states, so that the result of observing the rights of the states is to deny the right of the electorate to a government of its choosing. I can see why the Republican Party supports a system that allows it undemocratic power, but it seems to me that this system is hardy a stable one, particularly when the result is a not-desperately honest or sensible President who puts the world off America without really representing it.

    I'm a realist, Grumpfuck.

    Coastal America and Middle America will NEVER be happy living under the same government.
    Our differences are sincere and real. Both sides truly believe what they're saying.

    Coming together is a fucking pipe dream.
    Our respective values are totally repugnant to one another.
    You hate liberals.
    I hate shitkicker rubes who hunt and go to church and vote Republican.

    That's forever, fuckface, so any of your solutions better take that into account.
    Otherwise you're just sitting on your thumb--as usual.

    That's weird, I always thought democracy was based upon popular vote, the guy who gets the most votes wins (and please no comments about being a republic not democracy)

    What you want is to preserve an antiquated system where elections are based upon geography rather than people. A state as Wyomimg, which isn't much bigger than metro Buffalo, gets three electoral votes, cities, where the majority of Americans live, is disproportionately underrepresented

    As far as becoming irrelevant, you are correct, but America has ceased being an agricultural nation a century ago if not earlier

    The above is do mindlessly asinine that I am speechless. The only repugnant thing in this country is you! Along with your pastime of hanging out in men's public restrooms looking for love.

    If only you were speechless, you ridiculous cracker. Instead, you pollute the cybersphere with your mindless, ignorant bullshit.

    We live in a democratic republic, we elect democratically candidates to represent us. It is not a straight democracy, but a representative democracy

    A Constitutional Republic refers to the manner inwhich we have created our framework of government not the manner in which we elected our representatives
