    Germany does not choose its leader by national popular vote. Canada's current prime minister lost the national popular vote in 2019.https://twitter.com/DKarol/status/1338631714806095872 …

    The Electoral College is IN NO WAY necessary for the survival of federalism. Federalism exists in parliamentary systems (Australia, Canada, Germany, India) & countries in which Presidents are directly elected (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico) https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1338509236226158593 …

        Um, @DKarol knows that. That isn’t what he wrote.

        Apology? Deletion? Anything? Just gonna go with reflexively insisting that your interlocutor wrote something that he didn’t and addressed a point you wished to rebut, but not the one, you know, he actually made.

        Shhh you are letting logic get in the way of a power hungry argument.

        If you look at the electoral map, you'd see how clearly Canada is split. It would be better for all of us to just create a new country that runs from Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico to the Rocky mountains.

        @DKarol You are wrong. Federalism holds that the basic sovereign is the individual state. The sovereigns exercise power as units (EC, Senate, etc.). EC is essential to federalism b/c it preserves this sovereign role of the states, as states, in selecting the Executive.

        This is extraordinarily disengenuous, suggesting that a ruling coalition does not share power, compared to the winner-takes-all system of America.

        Correction: we do not vote for a Prime Minister. Parties elect their leader, who becomes PM if his/her party wins enough “seats,” or *local* elections to form gov’t. In modern parliamentary systems the winning side can win a plurality/majority of seats but lose the popular vote.
