I see Fox News is big mad about abolishing the electoral college. So let’s talk about it. 1) If the GOP were the “silent majority” they claim, they wouldn’t be so scared of a popular vote. They *know* they aren’t the majority. They rely on establishing minority rule for power.
2) This common claim about “if we don’t have the Electoral College then a handful of states will determine the presidency” is BS. a. It’s the *EC itself* that breaks down power by state, pop vote decentralizes it b. The EC makes it so a handful of states DO determine elections
3) LASTLY, this concept that the Electoral College is provides “fairness” to rural Americans over coastal states doesn’t hold any water whatsoever. First of all, virtually every state has rural communities. NY. California. Much of our states are rural. But very importantly...
4) We do not give electoral affirmative action to any other group in America. Do Black Americans have their votes count more bc they have been disenfranchised for 100s of years? Do Reservations get an electoral vote? Does Puerto Rico and US territories get them? No. They don’t.
5) The Electoral College isn’t about fairness at all; it’s about empowering some voters over others. Every vote should be = in America, no matter who you are or where you come from. The right thing to do is establish a Popular Vote. & GOP will do everything they can to fight it.
Let us pray to 2 Corinthians for U.S. Covfefe growers & hamberder farmers. Grant us cereal ID & wet water. Save forest rakers & Fredrick Douglass’ smocking-gun infantroopen protecting Confederate airports & the moon on Mars. Cure Windmill cancer & kidney in heart disease. Period!
Here’s what is up: A state like Montana has different problems than a state like New York. Why should Montana not have a say but New York does? It’s you guys that want the power which is why you are trying to change the system. Mind blown.
Each Montana voter HAS more than DOUBLE the power of either a Texas or California voter, twit-wit. THAT is what is un-American. Remember the EC was created when there was no “popular” vote. The notion that a voter in Helena “needs” or “deserves” twice ...
@AOC is back! We missed your passion and fire. 
In my voting lifetime, two out of three presidents have lost the popular vote but still won the general election.
The EC is outdated and is not serving the interests of the majority of Americans. #AbolishTheElectoralCollege
