65% of U.S. adults say the way the president is elected should be changed so that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the presidency.
But it isn’t equitable because presidential candidates only ever pay attention to swing states.
And people should be represented equally. The location of a citizen shouldn’t effect the strength of their voice.
Ever single other public office in the U.S is voted by popular vote. If there were problems with it then why don’t we have mini electoral colleges for each seat? The president should be a popular vote, no different than any other office.
If it was population based, they’d only pay attention to large populations.
Don’t get me wrong, I continue not to care.
I love how conservatives do not care about any topic yet they spend their precious time writing tons of comments on topics they definitely do not care about…
It’s nice to see who the real snowflakes are from time to time :D
I haven’t been a conservative since…we’ll, ever. But thanks for the ill informed remark.
