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.
MAGA IS ALIVE AND WELL.
Bump for cawacko.

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.
lib'ruls are so strange.......the old adage is "don't fix something that isn't broken".......they want it to be "fix something BECAUSE it isn't broken".........
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

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
