Donald Trump For President
Quote:
What?! The electoral college is part of the founding principle of our democracy (which is actually a republic btw). A populist tyranny is the very last thing we want. Just like you are talking about states, that's how the electoral college works. Winner takes the whole state. State comes with a set number of votes related to its overall size. So if every state votes 51/49 but one state votes 95/5, it doesn't screw the country into forever being at the mercy of said state. A populist vote would mean that the 95/5 state is the only once that matters and is in control of all 49 other states destinies. Also, there is nothing in wrong with going against what people want. There are enough fucking dumbasses out there that would vote for $30 minimum wage, free housing and free cable internet if given the chance. Luckily, some of the people in charge are smart enough to realize that is financial impossible and irresponsible. As far as technology, who gives a shit. Should we also let the nation vote on the guilt of high profile criminal cases? We certainly have the technology for that. What a spectacle it would be. OJ Simpson, Text Guilty or Not Guilty to #OJCASE27! Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman etc. |

I guess what I'm saying is some parts of the transition may be rough but it would ultimately be okay. |

If we dug the founding fathers up they would be freaking out over the fact we are letting women and coloreds vote. They would be besides themselves regarding welfare, taxes and the idea that we would even entertain abortion or gay marriage. They where likely far more conservative than anything we can compare too today. Remember only land owning, God fearing white men could originally vote? Also, history bro. Quote:
In other Democracies Congress/Parliament or the ruling party select the Leader. You vote for the party, they do the rest. |
