You can't read. I'm saying the popular vote is how the president SHOULD be decided and I'm asking in what way the electoral college is better. Your only suggestion so far holds about as much weight as an anti-tiger rock ("we're still a union so it's a good thing")
Nowhere did you explain why it's better and now you're continuing to dance around the point.
Quit the bullshit and answer this concisely:
Why is a system where citizens in a few states to have disproportional power better than one where individuals are equal?
And don't just vaguely gesture at the country again. Worse systems have lasted way longer so "see? It clearly works!" is not a valid argument.
"My anti-tiger rock works because I haven't been attacked by a tiger so it clearly provides stability. If I didn't have my anti-tiger rock, I would be killed by a tiger within a few years. No thank you."
You don't have any reasons why it's better, I guess. Surprising :)
Didn't answer the question and rambled about something else instead. No wonder you like Trump
