The New York Times is calling for an end to the Electoral College.
Americans would prefer by overwhelming majorities to elect a president using a popular vote system, the newspaper’s editorial board said in a piece published Monday.

I second the call for the end of the NY Times.
Yep, time to end the New York Times.

The Electoral College calls for the end of the New York Times. Goes both ways, yes?
More #fakenews by little Becky Dumbass. The last poll I saw, 60% of Americans said we need the electoral college. This b*tch is a liar.
I call the question and a unanimous acceptance of hte motion
Oh sure. So the crooked political hacks who run a half- dozen cities can decide who gets to be president - -and who doesn’t get even a chance. No way. Our republic’s Founders were pretty smart people
your request will happen a hell of a lot sooner than their will!

“Americans would prefer by overwhelming majorities to elect a president using a popular vote system”
IDIOTS!
Of course the overwhelming majority (found in a few big cities) would like absolute power.
That’s exactly why the Electoral College was created.

No one asked me. I didn’t get to vote! What happened to one man one vote?
End the NYT for sure-— but keep the crossword puzzles! They’re still worthwhile
The NY Times pisses on rural America again.
Does anyone in a million years believe the Slimes would advocate for this if Trump had won the popular vote and Clinton the EC?
