Thank goodness for the Electoral College which prevents the tyranny of mob rule aka the tyranny of 51%....

With the EC, even small rural states have a fair shot at having their voices heard and their concerns addressed. The EC insures that large states cant bully smaller states....
Large states should bully small states. California’s economy as about 100 times larger than Kentucky. In New Jersey we pay more Federal taxes relative to what we receive than any state in the country. Stop mooching off us.

There have been 58 presidential elections in US history. Of those 58, 53 presidents have won both the popular vote and the electoral vote....

Only 5 times out of 58 have a president won the electoral vote while losing the popular vote. That means only 8.6% of presidents ever got elected while losing the popular vote...

.....so we can clearly see that most often the electoral vote aligns with the popular vote and only on rare occasions does a candidate win the electoral vote while losing the popular vote....

Yet leftists are trying to construe the EC as a process that exclusively undermines the popular vote when it isnt, it was designed as a way to give smaller states a fair chance at having their votes weighted against larger states. Again, it's the concept of not allowing large states to bully small states....

....fair....
....so rare that the last two Republican Presidents each lost the popular vote and won the electoral college.

You want minority rule, I get it. You want the few to govern the many. You’re anti-democratic.
Read my two prior posts, the EC doesnt guarantee minority rule, it merely gives small states a fighting chance against large states. 91% of US Presidents have won both the popular vite and the electoral vote... Only 5 times have a president won the EC while losing the popular vote...

Population gap is widening. 2 of the last 4 Presidents have lost the popular vote and won the EC. Small states shouldn’t have a “fighting chance.”

Well.. I don’t have a thing for owning other human beings.
But you do seem to believe in mob rule tyranny because you stated you dont believe small states deserve a fighting chance at having their voices heard...

It hasn’t for two of the last 4 winners. Losing by 3 million votes but winning by EC is minority rule.
But look at the historical trend, 91% of the time the EV aligns with the PV.... More often the US is a majority rule...

The historical trend is divergent. That’s why 2 of the last 4 Presidents have lost the popular vote, most recently by an even larger margin.
Then i hope that the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact never works out....fortunately Nevada's Governor vetoed letting NV join in 2018 because he knew it would be one step closer to the tyranny of 51%.... That's one less state we have to worry about trying to circumvent the EC....

It's not about "minority rule" it's about "minority equality."

You're always preaching and crying about oppression and inequality... yet
here you are... advocating oppression and supporting inequality for smaller town minority folks.

Republicans and Trump aren't America’s biggest liability.
Your irony, mentality and hypocrisy (as you've proven above ) are.

It circumvents the will of the majority.

Minority “equality” is counter majoritarian. Small states have augmented power and large states are weakened. Wyoming does not have equal economic, cultural, or demographic power as California and has nearly 100 times less people. why should it get equal say?
