This is why we need to abolish the electoral college. No more “winning states”. Just straight national popular vote. With ranked choice voting. What could be more democratic?
Founding fathers built in provision for constitutional convention. We let them down
I hate this argument so goddamn much.
Listen, the problem is the 435 member cap on the House of Representatives, not the Senate. The Senate is made up to represent the interests of their States, the House of Representatives is made up to represent YOU.
There’s no way the Reapportionment Act of 1929 is Constitutional. It needs to be abolished. (Also Gerrymandering needs to be outlawed but that’s another problem)
Other founding fathers – no, it will just be by population
Southern states – no, we get 2 Senators or we won’t help you fight the British
Founding Fathers – “Fine, I’m sure this will only be temporary. It’s not like our word is immutable for all time”
Trump was a DEI President since the Electoral College is a set-aside special privilege for rural areas that can’t compete otherwise. Hillary won the actual vote and should have been President.
Just checked the poles. It’s not looking good
The Electoral College is a fantastic solution for an 18th century problem. It made sense back then. If we still lived in the 18th century, I would strongly support it.
*checks calendar*
Maybe we should rethink this?
Did anyone else read the last line in Hank Hill’s voice?
“There’s no way this system will one day be archaic and irrelevant, and actually result in the opposite of what we intended it to, let’s enshrine it into law forever.”
– Those guys, probably
Wait until the founding fathers hear about how a gun no longer means requiring 45seconds to load between shots before aiming perilously towards a British invader in a very obvious red coat!
Yet another instance of the national vote winner in a national election not becoming President.
ONLY IN AMERICA!
WTF is a California?
OP is a lie. At the time of the founding the big states were the southern slave states and the Great Compromise was protecting the smaller northern states. Even if we set that part aside, in the United States, states matter and that’s why we have this system.

I’m from California. Everything is way more expensive. Crime ridden. And the big cities are covered in human turds. Maybe we don’t look to California as a success….beautiful weather though
