Electoral college

First off let's be honest-just between you and I, okay? I want you to ask yourself this: If Hillary Clinton won in the electoral college but lost the popular vote, would those who are calling for it's abolition be doing the same thing? If you answer yes, you are lying. Not only to me, but to yourself. You need to be honest and say "Of course not, I'd be worshipping the electoral college and singing it's praises." By thinking that only the other side engages in dirty tricks and is full of assholes, you are exactly what is wrong with politics.

Believe it or not, states rights is not a code for racism. The laws in California will be different than the laws of Kentucky, and there is nothing wrong with that for either Kentucky or California. What people vote for in California shouldn't effect the citizens of Kentucky. For the record, I'd obviously be much more comfortable in Kentucky than California politically. Kentucky also has the greatest senator in country right now. I'll leave you to guess if I think it's McConnell or Paul.

 The electoral college was created so that the populations of Vermont, Maine and South Dakota have a voice in picking the leader of their country just like the people in California, Florida and Texas do. If we abolished the electoral college Vermont would be ignored because it's so small and in the grand scheme of things, not relevant enough for a politician to spend time there during a national election. California, Texas, New York and Florida would be the only citizens of the country who would be heard. That might be nice for you if you agree with California or New York, but it's grossly unfair to the 48 other states in the union. The electoral college should never be abolished. The founding fathers were right about many things, and this is just another one they were correct about.
