Because the constitution says so. Electoral college lets the states decide and not just the popular vote where the most populous states would have too much control to the detriment of the smaller states. The founders were exceedingly smart. You? Not so much.

We'd have to have consistent voting laws too. At least now, a state's decision to have lack of any internal controls has an upper limit of risk.

I agree with @pawz

Vegas in July, oof.

A Tug poster having to be taught the basics of congressional representation for states in the House versus the Senate and its impact on passing legislation is something I didn’t expect to see here.
Congrats on being the first, Ern! WOW

Oh is that what happened
I misread and misspoke. I owned it. Next.
Wyoming has more weight per capita than California in the House, Senate, and electoral college. All these things are true. I'm not arguing against it, that's just how it is.

Fern worried about republicans but ignored his own communist parties actions.

He looks like the guy who got left on the roof in the hangover.

Simple, California and New York shouldn't have say over the whole country.
-
I'm simply pointing out that individual votes from Wyoming mean more in DC than individual votes from California. That's how it is. It ain't an opinion, it's math.
California/Wyoming
Population - 67/1
Senate - 1/1
House - 52/1
Electoral college - 18/1
If that triggers you, so be it.

You are welcome to attempt an amendment or convention to change it.
-
I'm chillin'. I'm trying to explain it to my cat but even he doesn't give a fuck.
-
Again. Why should New York and California be the only ones to decide what works for the whole nation? There is a reason they wrote it like this. To give all states, large and small a say. Why are you against that?
-
I laffed.
-
There wouldn't have been united colonies or states without the University of Electoral and equal representation in the Senate. The House is the rabble where NY and Cali can put forth their malarkey
As Petersen could tell you it was hard to get 13 to agree but they set the template for 50 to agree
Now our defenders of democracy want to tear it down in a hissy fit whenever they don't get their way
-
Every lefty wants mob rule and nothing less. They know they can buy, extort and threaten to do whatever they want if they achieve it.
-
Didn't trigger me. You posted it as some sort of indictment of our system of government and called it "silly". Now you would like to pretend that you were just pointing it out for some unknown reason. It isn't silly, it is intentional and for good reasons. Fascist leftards don't like it for some reason.

Orban's Populism is a threat to democracy.
It's different when WE do it.
