Fuck the states. The states are a system whites gerrymandered to benefit themselves, as they arrived first and took all the land in rural areas, rigging things towards the rural areas is a way to benefit themselves.

gerrymandered?? WTF? where was there "gerrymandering?"

Some states like Pennsylvania were chartered -nothing gerrymandered about them.

Your mind is PC infested/infected and conflicts with historical accuracies.

Currently, Hillary Clinton is ahead in the popular vote, while Donald Trump, the president-elect, leads in electoral votes.

By 54 percent to 41 percent, more Americans favor amending the Constitution to elect the U.S. president by popular vote (most votes cast in the entire country) rather than the Electoral College. The public has held this view going back to 1987, including in 2000 after that year’s election also resulted in a difference between the popular and electoral votes.

If we ever agree on a national voters ID and new registration to prove you're citizenship without doubt, get back to us and maybe we'll consider it.....
instead of this bullshit registration with a drivers license or just on someone's word that they have a right to vote, etc......

Since we have one party in the political system intent on exploiting the racial resentment within one single ethnic group in order to dominate elections, and nothing could be clearer than the fact that this is destructive to national unity, I think we need to change to an electoral college system that forces a party to appeal to an ethnically diverse audience, rather than pandering to one race constantly and ignoring all others.

In light of this, I propose the following system. There will be 100 electors. 50 will be apportioned proportional to the popular vote. 10 will be apportioned to the candidate that wins the majority of blacks, 10 will be apportioned to the candidate that wins the majority of Latinos, 10 will be apportioned to the one that wins the majority of Asians, and 10 will be apportioned to the candidate that wins the majority of whites.

This will force any party that wishes to subside solely by pitting one of these groups against all the others to die, and to broaden is appeal to include all Americans.

Tbh I'm just being a dick. It's totally absurd to think that rural whites are the people in our system that need an exaggerated voice in our political system. But because that benefits one side in the political system, it can't be changed.

Oh I'm with you 100%.

In fact, you win the internet today with post #16 alone.
 
Water, if we're going to go straight up direct democracy should we retroactively put Prop 187 and Prop 8 in CA into law since those both passed with the will of the voters?

I strongly suggest you put forth a Constitutional Amendment then. Should be a breeze
 
If we got rid of the organized political corruption units called Parties, the EC would work just fine.

Yes, without primaries which serve to limit us to two options chosen by extremists.

DEMOCRATS keep citing polls after they were proven wrong in the last election.

What do you call repeating the same discredited thing over and over in the hope that it will somehow have credibility?
