If we did it by popular vote, the winner would be decided by just a few big cities.

The legitimacy of more than just LA and NYC.
That's disingenuous. They also have Chicago.
Oh and by the way, I don't need to tell you this but land doesn't vote. People do.
Somebody is mad that Trump might get fired.
He did. And did you see that more people in those states voted for Biden than Trump so far?
And yet, the ratio of cyan to pink on the map shows the opposite.
Abolish big cities.
candidates dont win based on what color your monkey brain sees flash more on screen
Such an odd thing. Besides the fact that more cities will probably be built, where exactly are people going to move, if cities are abolished?
electoral votes is fucking genius. (aka created from our Forefathers of this great nation)
Imagine the entire US full of homeless and "sanctuary cities". Sounds like all the people leaving CA to TX wouldnt have anywhere to run too....
Why the name calling jupitteer? he has a monkey brain because "what color flash more on screen? da fuk does that even mean?
We cant even hold civil conversation. This is a gaming website tho.

What I find somewhat alarming at this point is that we still have Nancy and Mitch in the House and Senate. The Senate looks like it will be staying Red this time around. Do you think Mitch and deficit hawk Republicans will let any sort of stimulus pass? Spoiler alert - they probably won't. Likewise, Nancy will continue to hold things up in congress until things go her way without any real negotiation, which will largely lead to inaction. Between those two people, despite who holds the presidential office, things in the Senate and Congress are likely to remain very much the same.

An entire state shouldn't be decided simply because 50% of the population is contained in two big cities.
If we abolished the electoral college voting system we would be ruled by the hiveminded cities like NYC, LA, and Chicago. Fuck that. Big cities are full of fucking idiots who shouldn't be voting
And no, I am not a fucking Trump supporter, fyi.
Go somewhere else if you hate Article II, Section I of the Constitution.
Just because the Constitution made something law 300 years ago doesn't mean it should still be relevant.
I'm not saying anything for or against the Electoral College. I'm just saying that pointing to the document and rattling off a direct quote from it doesn't matter much when the circumstances were meant for that era. That's why amendments exist, otherwise, we'd still have slaves and women unable to vote.
Who cares how old it is, well, obviously you people do, but the electoral college is in place for a reason. Take it away, and there is no democracy, just the big cities dictating what laws get passed and who gets elected. That doesn't sound like democracy to me.

They have a survey on their website asking "how much would you pay for this console" and of course all the simps will say "a billion dollars" and skew the results. -

I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.

Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
