Abolish Electoral College? Sure, and Why Not Let 'Majority Rule' on the Bill of Rights?

When we were kids on the playground and there was an angry dispute, someone would always shout "majority rules." And we'd vote. 

If the losers didn't like the outcome, there were two options: punch the winners in the stomach or take the ball and go home. 

It worked on our playgrounds because a punch in the stomach isn't the end of the world, exactly. You could punch a kid, or he could punch you, and half an hour later you could both ride your bikes to a convenience store for a Slurpee. You could always find a ball somewhere. There was always the next afternoon to get out there and play.

      And they're gonna get repaid for that by getting genocided. If nothing else, Ypipo will serve as a good object lesson for everyone else, I suppose.

  2. Since the electoral college is specified in The Constitution, it will take an amendment to said document to do away with it. Demoinrats can piss and moan all they want about the electoral college, however getting an amendment passed and ratified by a majority of the states is, I believe beyond their grasp.

      And the Right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed as specified in the same Constitution. How's that working out?

  3. But now that they have stealing an election down to an art the electoral college might not matter anymore. If they get away with it this time we are screwed.
