    The electoral college should be abolished after this election.

    I’ve never heard a good justification for the electoral college. Fuck the electoral college.

      At one time, it was justified because news was months old and you could not know the candidates in a reasonable amount of time without traveling to DC and you couldn’t afford to do so.

      So you elected some local guys you trusted to vote on your behalf, basically.

      It’s a good reason to make the electoral college, but not a good reason to keep it.

      If I’m understanding this correctly. You elect people to vote for You, and hope they vet the same way You do but they don’t have to?
