For 32+ years, the fact is that the Democratic candidate has won the popular vote 7 times in the last 8 elections. I am not saying whether this is good or bad.

For 32+ years, the fact is that the Democratic candidate has won the popular vote 7 times in the last 8 elections.
I am not saying whether this is good or bad.
But, I think the two party system would crumble very quickly if the Electoral College were removed, and something else would come into place instead.
Disclaimer: I do not vote despite being an American citizen. I am also an anarchist.
- AsyncAwait 7y agoIf this means viable 3rd parties, am all for it.
- quaquaqua1 7y agoPersonally I think it does, and I also think it means that there would be a spectrum shift among the candidates to more "left of center" positions. For example I think you would still have a broad selection of candidates who differ greatly on economic ideas. But, I think that social ideas that currently are still being debated (abortion, church and state, drugs) would be resolved. I am willing to estimate that maybe 70% of Americans agree on these social issues, compared to economic issues being more 50/50.
