I want to live in a democracy (I’ve lived in two other countries that are, but not the United States).
I just signed a petition to Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate: Amend the Constitution to abolish the Electoral College. Hold presidential elections based on the popular vote.
I don’t feel that European-Americans, aka white people, who choose to live in forsaken parts of the country where they think they can be entitled to 1.5 votes each should be rewarded for choosing there. Don’t get me wrong, living in fly-over country is just fine and that’s their prerogative, but they cannot expect a reward of their votes to count for more than one person. The result of the electoral college has ONLY been proven to be — and by design, it is — to give white people (especially with means) more than one vote per person. This is why I oppose undemocratic methods of voting for the leader of the free world and this is how the PREDATOR in chief was elected.
