If you really believe its arbitrary lines in a map and I would tell you its wrong. If you work in manhattan you still don’t tell people you live in Jersey.

But states are not entities the way they used to be pre-civil war days. At this point, they are just arbitrary lines on a map. And what I’m arguing is that by reinforcing this outdated concept of the state, you’re doing more to drag America towards a split than I am. It should not be this state or that state, we are…

It is not drowned out though, it’s just that more people live in those states than in the rural ones. What is hard to understand about that? If the population of New York is bigger than the population of Iowa, of course it will have more of a voice. This is true even in the EC, which is why New York gets more electors…

But that’s the thing, we already have a system where a disproportional amount of people with similar opinions in one region already control the election for the whole country. Conservatives are looking at this as, the whole country is conservative, as where the cities that lean progressive are not the whole country,…

So then let it split. Though, of course as much as the south hates California they rely heavily on it for their own prosperity, so they probably would suffer greatly as a result, as where California would do just fine without them. I’m pretty sure Californians could care less about what backwater Americans think.

I know some girls that like fan service. I know some girls that hate it. I don’t think it’s inherently a problem, but I do wish it wasn’t as ubiquitous. But, I’m an anime fan so I guess it’s not a problem for me. But I also keep others in mind. That’s why I support shows like Free and Yuri on Ice. If anime is going to…

I was coming here to write “How many people will not read this article and jump to the comments section.” And this is the first comment I read lol.

If you’re at the point of committing suicide then none of these considerations will matter. This isn’t for individuals thinking of committing suicide, I imagine, but for the families.

You don’t honestly believe that do you?

Civil War? Please. The south wouldn’t leave the union now even if we let them. They couldn’t. Texas, maybe. That’s about it. And trust me, no one is losing sleep over Texas.

The popular vote is irrelevant? It’s called democracy man. The whole principle of democracy is equality, 1 vote for everyone. I live in X state so my vote counts less than yours and that is fair? If we are 1 union, it is not.

But do you think we are still in danger? I mean do you really think that without the EC we would suddenly splinter and divide into different states or territories once again? Don’t you think that the EC is maybe just an archaic institution that was useful once but that has since outlived its usefulness, like the…

Please, say no more... You had me at Will Ferrell is making a movie about esports. ESPN says it “will have similarities with the role he had in Talladega Nights”

Most people would be far better served learning a skill or trade than getting a degree in underwater basketweaving or feline interpretive dance.

I am dying at this thread.

What do you base this argument on?

Again, agree with you and this article, but this point I think is misrepresenting what some people are saying. The people that want the electoral college to do its job, what they mean by do its job is basically to annul itself as an institution by reflecting the will of the people (which in principle, though not in…

Though I somewhat agree with you, to be fair, liberals who are calling for the electoral college to vote against their state are doing so on the basis that Hilary won the popular vote. They are saying the electoral college should do its job by basically annulling itself and reflecting the will of the people, which is…

Riiiiight hahaha. That’s funny.

And I 100% agree with you.
