Electoral College is how we keep from getting screwed. Popular vote is 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what is for dinner. Popular vote would be California and a couple of other states deciding the Presidency. Electoral College is the foundation of our Republic.
The electoral college was intended to be a safeguard against vote fraud and public being swayed by msm. The founders didn't consider the average joe voter well informed, nor capable of making major decisions through information and due consideration of that info.
Without the electoral, jackasses would rule completely. As you see it now.
Of course, we all know this. Over the past several presidential elections I have noticed that candidates tend to run, not for the popular vote, but rather for the electoral votes... spending more time in high-value electoral vote states than in smaller states with fewer electoral votes.
This is quite a change from the old days when candidates would do "whistle stop" speeches from the back of a train that stopped in every town across the country. They were running for the popular vote and it often worked.
But with modern technology and easy travel, campaigns could focus on the real path to victory by using the Electoral College approach and getting to the magic number of 270 by focusing on high value electoral states. Technology would carry the message to other places like Mesquite, TX and Erwin, TN and Springdale, UT, places you've probably never heard of but the residents of those places got the very same campaign news and coverage as the big places did.
Popular vote doesn't matter because we aren't a democracy. The left has been wanting to get rid of the electoral college for at least 30 years but we have a Constitution that anchors it into law. To change it would require an constitutional amendment which needs a two-thirds approval in Congress, then it has to be ratified by three-fourths (37) of the States. Ain't gonna happen.
Yes, we are a democracy. The US was converted in 1871 upon the institution of USA Inc. You're welcome to do the dig.
It was stated in the congressional record also, in 1933.
The constitution is background; in the War of 1812, the original was replaced with a single word changed, making it invalid. Also, the original 13th amendment was removed (13th ratified in 1811). You can find the original constitution in the National Archives, along with some documents such as the military manual of 1825, which opens with the original constitution and amendments, including the 13th. Such docs are also available in state archives and those territories applying for statehood.
This wasn't a game for the globalist bunch. It was a major move to keep the US open to them, since the 13th would have banned lawyers etc from holding public office.
Conversion to a democracy was necessary so "they" could control both govt and the economy through the fed, and provide the necessary watch over it all: the fed, FBI, IRS and ADL.
It's all in the records.
That only works if the 13th was legally removed/changed, which it wasn't. If you'll do your homework and dig deeper you will find that only applies to federal controlled property and courts.
Wrong. We are a republic that insurgent took over and unconstitutionally changed. That means they illegally run the government t outside the legal restraints of rhe Constitution. Thats about to change.
Well, I know for a fact in our liberal city we had four democrat judges and no one running against them. My friend working polls said the same in his state.
This might end up going to the Supreme Court where Trump will win. It might be an uphill battle. It won't be a clean win.
The flip side would be Kamala gets in but we have a House and Senate that won't vote on left-wing agenda but still support Ukraine while our economy continues to sink. My theory is she will continue to be a puppet like Biden.
All of the Hollywood elites and MSM will be fine LOL.
I am just glad Trump is doing early voting though to at least combat the voter fraud this time. Every election we should be doing this now.
We need to get rid of machines asap and liberal judges in cities need to go.
I think Trump will win both. Watch NH early on. It puts Trump over the top without the blue wall. The liberal crying will really kick in when Trump wins NY.
Don't let fear overtake you. This is the MAGA train amd the best way to ride it is standing on the roof ot the cars face into the wind while it goes mach 9.
God wins in his time. He will not let the children suffer anymore.
I just don't think easy win. I still say this gets contested.
Hollywood elites and MSM lives are at stake LOL.
Contested for sure.

My guesses would be California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas would decide this election without the electoral college.
Yep. Wouldn’t be any reason for the rest of us to vote.

The democrats figured out how to cheat in anything
And MAGA always wins in spite of that.
I have a feeling too many people are tied into Epstein and Diddy web.
Just like Trump won last time due to electoral college and lost popular vote. I think they will do opposite this time.
If not this they will contest the election. Since they have a lot of democrat judges in cities.
Think about it they did a coup on Biden and just replaced his ass. No Democrat even cares.
I really hope I am wrong.

When I said something similar people here called me a doomer.
I analyze what I see.

The problem is there is no other Trump if they cheat him once again.

Well, may be some electors would be arrested before the electoral vote cast and the alternative ones would be rather patriotic than criminal
