aren't you glad that wasn't in place in this election? We would be looking at Hillary winning.

This is why the Electoral College system is a good thing, it keeps hugely populated areas like large cities and states such as California from being the main decider of the outcome.

What do you think about changing from all or nothing to winning part of the total number of electoral votes based on percentage?

Would be interesting to go back an rework this election on that idea an see how it played out.

Those people are uneducated about the issue with pure democracy.

It is an interesting concept, I would like to see what impact it has through some sort of simulation.

Yeah, popular vote is definitely Dem advantage, all they need is the LA, NY and the Chicago vote and they're well on their way to victory.

Yep, a democracy of 2 wolves and one sheep will vote to eat the sheep.

I am watching clips of speeches and both hillary and obama said something about our "democracy".

It is a representative republic - jeez.
