Comment on Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College
PizzaMan@lemmy.world 1 year agoWhat other position is elected nationally?
The level at which the election runs is not what I am getting at.
We only do popular votes at the state level.
And they don’t destroy our country despite our states having a rural/urban divide. So our federal elections should be no different.

The level makes a difference. We are a combination of states.
Popular vote for the president would destroy our country. It’s not going to happen unless we are ready for the nation to break up. The smaller states will leave.

No it doesn’t. If a popular vote would destroy this country because of the imbalance between rural/urban areas, then it would have already done so on a state level.
