California is leaning Romney right now! oh man, didn't see that.
[QUOTE=Darkest_97;38349395]I essentially knew how the electoral college worked, then I saw this by the same guy and realized how entirely broken it is: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wC42HgLA4k&feature=relmfu[/media][/QUOTE] It's an old video but it really isn't totally broken But it def could use some revising The problem is he is basically calling for the government to be a direct democracy which is a terrible idea when you have a place like america, which is a huge ass country with just about every environmental climate in the world on it and massively different lifestyles of people between states. The problem with "everyone vote being equal" is because that would mean the only places that matter politically would basically be california and the east coast. It also has issues of a large majoirty of people being severely politically ill-informed (aka: see what people say at Romney rallies). He assumes the only reason the electorial college exissted was because of travel issues back in the old days, but this simply isn't true. It stems from the general concept of a republic, which at its very base is a system where officals are elected into office, and these officials are people who are very politically informed (as per their job), and as such they are the people that make the actual decisions. If these choices are not in favor of the populace, then the elected offical will findthemselves either impeached or not elected on their next term. This is exactly what the US does, and what the Electorial College is based around. It has problems that need fixed with it (such as, "winner takes all" mentality, which is also a direct result of why there are no more than 2 major parties in the US), but a pure democracy is certainly not a good soultion to the problem
