The tyranny of the majority is still a tyranny. Leftards love to control others. Liberty and freedom are overrated. The tug leftards love themselves some chicoms
There's a more imminent threat coming from the fascist left, where states are passing laws to award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, which is another way to abolish electoral college without actually abolishing it. So basically this means if a red candidate won your state, but the blue candidate won the national popular vote, your state will give its electoral votes to the blue candidate, effectively overriding and removing the voting power of the citizens.
The solution: Remove and imprison all state officials that have and are attempting to undermine the electoral college system.

The inlands won’t change.
Your perspective is warped living in the People’s Republics of Washington, Oregon and California.

But the only states which will only vote blue do this
What changed in the last 200+ years that makes it antiquated?
“The person I hate won!!!!!!”
OK!!!
However much sense an Electoral College made with 13 states, culturally unique regions, no mass communication and transportation by horse, it makes little sense now.

Not to mention it was set up for electorates at the state to be able to vote for someone other than the person who won the state. Which of course basically doesn't happen outside of the three votes that went to spotted owl.

How so. Please explain. You didn’t make an argument.
We still have culturally unique regions. Why is it antiquated?
Saying they electoral college is antiquated is the equivalent to saying a representative republic is antiquated. I’m thinking leftists would agree a representative republic is antiquated though.
There is far more homogeneity in American culture by region than existed in 1789. Most of those people regarded themselves as New Englanders, Virginians, etc. at least as much as they did Americans. And in an America that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the risk that someone can win the popular vote merely by winning a landslide victory in any particular place is much less than it was then.

Bullshit
California and New York
Both states get electoral votes matching their population
There aren't 57 electoral votes one for each state
If California votes GOP the electoral college is great

Without an Electoral College, it would still make sense for Daddy to seek votes in California and New York. Right now, it doesn’t.
