Yeah, I hate how there are checks and balances against the people living in more populous states overruling the interests of those living in less populated states! I mean, Californians are the only people that really matter, right? /s

Really ?? God bless America? Are you sure ?
totally
Yeah.. Cause we need a incestuous rapist father of a transsexual form of himself to bless the US. (actually that makes a lot of sense....)
Also just to point out, YHWH is the same dude as Allah.

Yeah but as voteing for a country president the votes should be counted up as the country as a whole plus the electrol collage is like what 200 years old?
I heard that Trump said some anti-women things in the past and said it was all "locker room talk", I didn't give it much attention because I didn't care that much since I'm not american and stuff. Today I saw this on reddit and watched this on youtube. Well all I have to say about this is congrats to your new President.
Does it count as "the country as a whole" if simply a few parts of it can out-voice the rest? Don't forget that there's more government than just the federal government. States have rights too. That's what the civil war was about.
Also, can we stop talking about how Hillary would have done better? She purgered herself after she didn't correctly handle classified information, and most people find her untrustworthy.
Whether Trump is a good president, we'll have to wait to find out. Some of his past actions are questionable, but his presidency plans sound good at least.
LOL, you do realise it was created for two reasons:
1) Keep the vote out of the direct hands of the people
2) Eliminate majority rule
#2 is an issue till this day.
Welp term limit is 200 years old anyway, let's get rid of that too. Lol
Anyway, what would it take to remove this? 2/3 of the states over ruling this, good luck with that!

President Trump needs to stay true to his word and start bringing back jobs back to USA.
He's right in saying America first. It's just like putting your family first before strangers, no different here.

But often the cost to have "America First" often imposes harm on Americans.
While I agree mostly, the College still at the very least should vote in proportion with the population of the state. It's hardly fair that some states get more votes per person when it comes to the Electoral College
Lol are you so against "super delegates" as well? It will never get removed because the states that are more rural don't want to lose their seat at the table.

But I would argue that hypothetically speaking even if you had a system like that (EC but votes are allocated based on an equal people per EC vote concept) that we still would be the same in terms of how actual electuons work since it still would be very swing state centric
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
And the swing states dont want to lose Thier influence
A much better solution would be to get rid of the winner take all aspect of the EC. Just because 51% of a state votes for a candidate, should not mean the remaining 49% of that state's population's votes should go to that candidate as well.
It goes by population. In smaller states like North Dakota, Wyoming etc they have less people so the votes are done for every 140k citizens and they have about 3 votes. In bigger states with more electoral votes like new york its for every 500k people(can't have too many votes) and they have about 29 votes in total because of the volume of citizens living there. It's about as close as giving misinformed people the voice they thought they'd have without resorting to mob rule IMO.

I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.

In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol
