Read: https://www.factcheck.org/2019/03/misleading-post-on-electoral-college/  MobiusTruth: The electoral college is how the *States* elect the leader of the executive branch of the Federal government. it has to do with our being a republic (a representative democracy) rather than a pure democracy. The former has long been known to encourage compromise. The latter has long been known to be more vulnerable to factions and discord. The "Federalist Papers" are an interesting read. MollieCue in reply to aphrodisiaciix: Hello Ap, its intended agenda it's merely stating facts in regards to the actual population, I watch certain individuals in political chats consistently downgrade California cities, why do so many people want to live here the answer is obvious our state is great!  gintpack: Molly--looking at this i wonder what is the electoral college number of all those states vs California? That is one of the reasons I believe it is time do do away with it. MollieCue: Exactly, I live in Orange County California we have 3.2 million in retrospective to Los Angeles 13.2 million California from a hole at close to 40 million should realistically have four senators |
