Utopia Talk / Politics / Tim waltz says what libs really want

obaminated Member	Wed Oct 09 14:03:37 Openly stating he wants to get rid of the electoral college. The liberals dirty secret wet dream revealed publicly. Harris immediately says that isn't what they want. I love how absolutely dumb waltz is. He isn't tw level dumb. But he is up there.
Im better then you 2012 UP Football Champ	Wed Oct 09 14:23:46 the electoral college is stupid. IT will change once it starts favoring dems.

kargen Member	Wed Oct 09 18:12:56 Democrats assume they would win the popular vote if the country went to a popular vote. That might not be the case. Winning the popular vote with the current system means nothing. Kind of like how hits don't matter in determining which team wins a baseball game. Runs are what matters. If hits mattered all the power hitters would lose their jobs and the rosters would be filled with quick little contact hitters. The entire game would change. If popular vote mattered the entire way elections are run would change. The popular vote just means most the country can be ignored.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Oct 09 18:58:09 so you're in the camp of believing millions of fraudulent votes are cast? also "The popular vote just means most the country can be ignored" is kinda opposite of true (if talking about people over dirt)... right -now- most of the country ignored & all about swing states, if popular vote, population matters, if you have population (by location, not state) you will get attention ---- as to OP, the VP can't get rid of the electoral college the P can't get rid of the electoral college it requires 34 states to agree... if 34 states agree, tough shit (& it wouldn't be caused by the VP or P, so who cares what Walz' opinion of it is)

kargen Member	Wed Oct 09 21:05:13 With popular vote candidates would only campaign in seven states. so yeah that means most the country can be ignored. Seven states have enough of the population that none of the other states matter. That is why we have the electoral college. My preference would be instead of states giving all their electoral votes to the candidate that wins the state the electoral votes get divided by percentage. The winner in the state would get the two that represent the Senators and then the others get divided. That would be a truer representation of the country and would inspire more people to vote in solid red and blue states.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Oct 09 21:35:18 you’d be an idiot to only campaign in 7 states for popular vote... though that’s pretty much what they only campaign in currently, and to less population, so a weird argument you have there a better argument would be favoring city folk, but at least every single person would have equal reason to vote no matter how deep a color shade their state is
