I'm in full support of the Popular Vote Compact. It's the easiest way to have the equivalent of a national popular vote.
I don't think a vote by congressional district works, as that encourages even more gerrymandering and naturally benefits one party (in this case it's the Republicans, as Democrats are more likely to live in areas where they're overrepresented, or in small liberal enclaves within conservative zones.)
I think that's the biggest issue. Over representation. Democrats in cities have far too much power in major states just by living in tiny zones.
Do you understand how democracy works?
No. We live in a republic. I am personally for the congressional district method. It seems to be the best compromise. The cities will still decide the at-large votes, but the other areas won't have their voice drowned out.
It's the worst possible compromise, even worse than the current system.
I swear...the "republic, not a democracy" idiocy will drive me insane one day.
Yeah I've seen Ron Paul libertarians make that argument and then in the same breath complain about the GOP keeping Ron Paul down.
