I find it sad that the same people complaining about the current president abusing powers and damaging the republic are constantly bitching about the electoral college and the senate. Seems like y’all are fine with abusing powers and cha hung the way we govern so long as you get to choose.

Complaining about the outdated electoral college and 2 senators per state does not equal abusing powers and damaging the republic.  FYI

exactly.

let the republicans get screwed by the electoral college just once and see if they change their minds. twice in my lifetime the popular vote winner did not win the EC. if it happens a third time, i think people will burn down the congress.

I'm still surprised people aren't more active in seeking a proportional vote in their own states. Doesn't require any amendments, and Maine and Nebraska are already doing a version of it, so there's a precedence and a guideline on how to implement it. This would be an incredibly quick way to bring the popular vote and the Electoral College vote closer together.

i honestly don't recall the 2000 election conversation being centered around the EC. more vote counting and the SC's decision.

Entering that election, there were some projections that had Gore winning despite Bush getting a majority.  That was my dream...Gore wins and maybe something is done about the EC.  Because I hated it starting about when I first understood it.  

It's true that most of the Dems complain now because it favors the GOP...but there have always been people who thought it was bad regardless.

As far as I can tell ... when you lose a historically winnable election because you ignored the facts of the race...and then you complain about the electoral college and 2 senators per state and talk of changing the system and claiming it’s unfair...

you come across as a butthurt craybaby.

But of course trump is worse so none of that matters.

The US system is good but has problems.  The EC is the first indicator, a red flag if you will, that strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

Trump redlining it for 3 years isn't helping.  He is the worst.

Bu$h was pretty bad too, but nothing like this.

Representational govt should be representational.

gore had a clear win in votes, but for scotus ruling fla went to bush and it 16? elec college votes,  gore wins both pop vote and college.

it came down to one state. like a dumbass , gore conceded instead of pushing for an accurate tally, whichever way it fell.

Florida, bullshit.
