re: #101 Feline Fearless Leader

That’s a viewpoint that I’d potentially accept if the GOP was trying to change the rules in *all* the states. Instead they are just pushing this to game a few states that have particular electoral majorities right now. So this is not some sort of principled thing to support equality, it’s a brazen political move simply to help the GOP.

Yeah, but so what. The end result is just an EC that more closely resembles the popular vote instead of magnifying and creating an illusion of a blowout. I’m not saying that we should go along with it, I’m saying that people are overreacting and somewhat hypocritically ignoring the equally undemocratic current structure of the EC. The fact that we could have lost by several points in the popular vote and still won is fundamentally problematic, any honest broker would admit this.
