Another MAJOR drawback of the EC system is how LO-O-ONG it takes! It’s a schedule designed for a rural country comprised of far flung territory without modern communication capability.
TOO much time to engage in fuckery!

Time to adopt the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (unless someone else has a better idea)!

#trump #jan6 #ElectoralCollege

MSM also pretending #ElectoralCollege is real. It’s vestigial and illegitimate. Actual votes are voted. And in a blowout, EC won’t be close either.

Convoluted pre-surrender, just delete the #ElectoralCollege and pass the revised constitution by majority referendum. https://toad.social/@scottspeaking/110327941863960961

‘electing the President by popular vote has enjoyed a great deal of popular support for the past half century or so. In 1967, sixty-five per cent of Americans were in favor’

Delete the #ElectoralCollege

Good news! Minnesota just joined the #NPVIC (National Popular Vote Interstate Compact) which aims to bypass the outdated #ElectoralCollege system in the U.S. and ensure that the winner of POTUS elections is the candidate that gets majority of the nationwide popular vote instead of electoral votes. Minnesota is now in a group with 15 other states and D.C. all contributing 205, or ~76%, of the 270 votes needed for the compact to take effect.

The #ElectoralCollege court doing the unanimous #McDonnell: To #Whistleblower Alito add Gorsuch's sale of 40 acres of property, just days after his Senate confirmation, to the head of one of the nation’s largest law firms, which has since had 22 cases before the Supreme Court.

And the wife of John Roberts paid over $10 million as a job recruiter for placing lawyers at elite law firms, including some that have had cases before the court.

Getting rid of the #ElectoralCollege would cost what? It's so simple and obvious. It's just flat out Ignored. For all our #faith in and exaltation's of #Democracy we regularly subvert it. Why? Our leaders are more concerned with maintaining the national #duopoly control balance than resolving the peoples problems. They don't #represent us. They represent duopoly for capital first. It should be at the top of the peoples perpetual priority list till it's resolved.

Super delegates are a Democrat #duopoly protection mechanism. They protect the Dem. political machine from the will of Dem. voters. Along with some other court recognized slime-ball shit, they are how we got Hillary instead of Sanders.
The #electoralcollege is from 3/5ths of a man slavers logic. Designed to empower the losers, giving small states undue power.
Want a more perfect #union ? How about using a more perfect voting system to get more perfect #Democracy. #starvoting

#blueteam has the #progressive wing, champions civil and human rights, represent an intellectual majority and is defending our nations processes from an emerging #fascist movement. The perception and existence of fairness is critical to #trust and appeal. Why does it still use a system with a component very similar to the #electoralcollege while choosing the #democratic pres.#candidate? #superdelegates like the E.C.are an indefensible #corruption of #democracy #change #update #duopoly #integrity

Can't tell if Ron is going to help Trump or the other way around but the pick a turd of two exercise is guaranteed to be another sad state of affairs. We need #electoralreform now!. States can/must negate the #electoralcollege. Ban corp money. Limit spending and personal donations. Free ad spots. Public funding. Mandatory voting.
We need #Starvoting or at least Ranked Choice. Demand it, any viable future depends on it. Our current tool is dull and hacked.

We must get at least 25 States to adopt the #NationalPopularVoteCompact. We must nullify the #ElectoralCollege, and safeguard our Democracy:

You know what's coup-proof? A popular vote to elect the President.
If 35 States agree to throw all their #ElectoralCollege votes to the winner of the national popular vote, no more #FakeElector schemes or #Insurrection based on fantasies.

#WriteYourLegislators, and get them to pass the #NationalPopularVoteCompact.

A vote in Wyoming is now worth four times a vote in Texas for #president - stop this now! #NationalPopularVote #ElectoralCollege #Politics https://ithoughthecamewithyou.com/post/fuck-the-electoral-college

#IVR National Instant-runoff voting and trash the #electoralcollege now!
We need to get rid of this lesser of two evils joke. I'm sick of the slim choices floated to the top. Remember it was #DNC dirty dealings in the primary that gave us Hillary and not #Bernie and that's really how we got stuck with #Turddonald. #Chappelle Bernie also told the truth but wasn't allowed to run. The two party system is a thorn in our side. How committed are you to the principles of #democracy?

Bitching about the #ElectoralCollege and the Bush & Trump steals, is not making us forget that both parties had decades — no, centuries — to address this, but did f-all 'cause, hey: might come in handy.
