No. I like that you have to win a lot of people in a lot of different places instead of just a lot of people in a few walled off cities. But that's just me.
So, you'd like a system that doesn't have the electoral college, but don't support getting rid of it? I don't follow you.

No, the Electoral College is good.
My objection to a system where a candidate can ignore most of the country and focus on just a few cities is too edgy for you? In blackraisin's case, I can chalk that up to him simply not being particularly bright, but this is pretty surprising, coming from you.

Yes.

You shouldn't be able to win by bouncing off a few targeted people in Whocaresville, Some Rural State That Happens To Be Agreeable This Time.


A campaign should be forced to go everywhere to make their case.

Clearly.



Since I've been here, you've gone from being this socially conservative populist with his heart in the right place to no different than Lief, all in the name of HATING your opposition.  Sad, to say the least.

Happy Thanksgiving.  Electoral College was designed exactly because the Founders didn't want our candidates taking the disgusting attitude you just conveyed toward "Who Caresville."
If the founders had their way, most of the citizens of" Who Caresville" wouldn't be enfranchised at all.
