When winning the popular vote is less than 30% of eligible voters, that's not a solution either. 70% of the country would have a direct claim of "I didn't vote for them."

A lot of people in deep red and blue states don’t vote for president because they know their vote won’t get counted.

Gerrymandering is a way bigger problem than the EC

Yes but even further OT.

People like LibBot.9 want a plebiscite because they can't resist the siren song of a dictatorship (a dictatorship that is inline with their political beliefs of course)

First the plebiscite, next, undoing presidential term limits.

I’ll bet Dax was rough ridin' pissed when they started allowing the direct election of senators.

I'll note that I'm talking with two total weirdos who apparently pine for "elections" like that have in Russia and elsewhere. Are you two short in stature? Ever diagnosed with certain "complexes"?

Ugh. You just never like to see someone scraping the bottom of the argument barrel like that.

Considering it would take 50+ million additional over Hillary's 65 million to get across the 50% of eligible voting eligible persons, I would say it's something more than just "my vote won't count cause I'm in state 'x'."

You say this with certainty, perhaps I took this article at face value too much.

oh yeah, it definitely advantaged 'pubs in 2016 and very likely will in 2020 as well, but those aren't structurally baked in. in 2004, 2008 and 2012 it favored the dems. it just depends on which party is wasting votes by winning states by a lot and which party is winning the nailbiters.

It was a big deal in 2000.

How hard has the push for system change been since 2000? Maybe I missed it.

I mean, were you paying attention around that time? Because the push was big and has been ever since. It was a big rough ridin' deal.

He's polling in the 20's by democrats in his district. He's desperate because he knows he won't make it out of the primary

I don't see anything wrong with it.

She thinks he should be impeached, doesn't mean he will and if he isn't he will absolutely be the candidate in 2020, going against (more than likely) another absolutely terrible candidate (probs Biden).

Hey, there will be 2 complete crap candidates, so I can't rule anything out.

LMAO

Shooter, you know as well as I do that LibBot Nation is going to put on their arm bands, shine up those jackboots and goose step all the way to the polls for their guy, the mega corrupt-war mongering-racist, ChiCom Joe.

I love that they're begging so hard for him to become a R knowing full well the party or their supporters will back him in the primary.

Shooter being full MAGA was a shock to me when I realized it. Was I not paying attention before?

No, he just recently discovered the pit.
