A popular vote would only serve to further polarize the elections.  It's a bad idea.

Try an approval vote.

No one was criticizing the founding fathers and their gospel. There's no way to make sure people do their part.  If someone can acknowledge they dont know enough about politics they should learn or not vote.  People still have the right to choose
 to make poor decisions.  I would urge them not to.


And again, I urge YOU to eat a dick, for trying to urge people into NOT doing the ONE SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS ACT they'll do in the next four years, whether they do so stupidly or not.  It doesn't even hurt the republic when stupid people vote, because the distribution of stupidity is pretty even between parties, so they cancel each other out.

How about you both fuck off, and we just follow the constitution?

Because the electoral college is a malfunctioning relic.

Okay, so let's change the constitution.  By the way, we can pretend that 50,000,000 screaming religious nuts aren't waiting for us to try, so they can get THEIR thumb in, too.

UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

You're a smart guy, Felix, but sometimes you can't see the monkeys.

You're a smart guy, Felix, but sometimes you can't see the monkeys.

What can I say?  I live in a good neighborhood.  They're such better actors after a few years of college.

Also, theoretically if Approval Voting could get amended in without undue pork, it'd fix a lot of problems.  

Especially with restricted approval voting (vote for a minimum of two or similar), which would strengthen the system against decisive voting interest strategies.
