Should USA resort to popular vote or proportional vote by state or keep it the way it is?
popular vote = most votes wins
proportional vote by state = Example one state has 10 electoral votes if 50% people in state want A, 30% want B, 20% want C
A gets 5, B gets 3, C gets 2
Going full popular vote would decimate the Republican Party and I am here for that.
Yes, the electoral college should be abolished.
proportional or popular vote?
popular vote would literally force politicians to actually campaign instead of just targeting swing states.
they would actually need to appeal to everyone to win
Popular vote Yes but I don't see it in the near future
Popular vote interstate compact still needs like 70 more EVs to come into effect and there's very few blue state governments that haven't signed on already
The Republican Party has won the popular vote 1 time in the last 32 years (1/6), yet the Bush and Trump administrations loom large over the 21st century. Enough of this s***.
We would be more likely to adopt a proportional system first though.
Isn't it proportional because of the different populations of the states?
proportional as in states arnt winner takes all
proportional or popular vote?
It should just be a popular vote system imo. Whoever gets the most votes wins.
Popular vote
The system is f***ing dumb zero excuse especially in countries like UK and Australia conservative governments had found great success winning elections with helping hand
I would also advocate for mandatory voting also but that will never happen in USA

If Texas flipped this election, people would still be calling for the electoral college to go. It’s stupid regardless.

Nope still bullshit system
I want it to be fair and competitive republicans for year have done everything to f*** over elections with closing polling stations in Democrat areas and gerrymandering some of most ridiculous areas.
No electoral college possibly means no war on terror and no Iraq invasion. No electoral college means no Trump and the bullshit that came along with him.
not american so how would y’all even implement that like who’s call would it have to be for the conversation to be taken seriously?
