If 90% of you live in one half of the country,
and 10% in the other half, why the hell should
the two groups get equal votes?
Why should the 90% be able to tell the 10%
how to govern their states? We are a
republic of states not a democracy. States
have rights of their own. That's the idea of
the EC.
But you're not voting for states, you're voting for the national government.
This guy Sword is dumber than a sack of hammers or he is a troll, or
both.
Why can't you yank ****wits understand simple concepts?
It's not that we don't understand what you're saying. It's that we
don't think it's a good idea for this country.
Bear in mind that I voted for the loser in this race, and I still
think the Electoral College is important and desirable.
