Winner takes all is cheating, to me, because it robs the minority vote of its representation. Because all electoral college votes are tallied at the end and that total is used to determine the winner. Popular vote system would just eliminate redundancy and increase trust and transparency.

Unregulated capitalism and crony capitalism is pretty much armed robbery. It might work if regulated and taxed, but a system where basics aren't afforded to people who can't pay is extremely toxic. We tried it before, and it was a disaster. The Gilded Age we are returning to.

Yep. It shrinks the 10% making it more the top 5% over time, with the middle class completely disappearing into simply "rich or poor" until eventually you're at serfdom levels with mass homelessness. We see that happening with the income gap.

I have a question. If we're trying get rid of the electoral college which is being abused in winner-take-all schemes, and the "delegate" system is an antiquated piece of history like the college is, why not just make it easier with a popular vote? In both cases? (talking ideals, not practicality)

You've made pretty extreme attacks against me thus far and I haven't reciprocated. Optics, transparency, and sentiment. All things currently plaguing low D sentiment in polling.

It raised questions and caused confusion. Later, in 2024, threatening to call an open convention made the optics worse. The point is that people are holding their breaths for another cyclical repeat rather than drastic change, and hope is at a pretty low point with party sentiment at a low.

I don't think it's that simple but I do think it raises questions, hence they improved by making changes. I just hope there isn't a repeat. They aren't legally required to uphold their own rules because the partisan apparatus are private corps in both RNC and DNC. Is our pressure enough? We'll see.
