What I find interesting is this only came up after Trump got elected. What this says is it’s not about how “broken” the electoral college is and more so trying to elect more liberal presidents, since the densely populated areas tend to hive mind. We would have essentially 2 states voting in the new president, and both of these states are very liberal. Why didn’t this come up during Obama? This is an attempt at the liberal elite to get rid of a system that stops them from winning 100% of the time. This is how civil wars are started
- hyperpape 7y agoThe electoral college has been criticized for generations: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-04-07/electoral-college-debate-has-dramatically-changed-in-50-years https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-04-07/electo..., though the contours of the debate have changed. As for the charge of hypocrisy, were Republicans passionately praising the wisdom of the electoral college in the 1990s? It cuts both ways.
