Democrats Call For Abolishing Popular Vote

In the wake of their crushing defeat in the 2024 presidential election, Democrats have begun to call for abolishing the popular vote.

"Look, it's 2024 and I think it's time to let go of this antiquated and undemocratic idea of a ‘popular vote,'" said U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "Our democracy is simply too fragile to just award the Presidency to whoever wins the most votes. We must come up with an alternative, like maybe a college of electors."

Democrats warned that the counting up the number of votes to see who received more was textbook fascism. "Democracy cannot survive in a system where you add up votes, because people could vote for fascists. Voting is how democracy dies," explained Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. "Voting is how we got Trump, and now our country is dead, again. It's time to protect democracy by eliminating voting altogether."

"What About That National Popular Vote Interstate Compact"

This seems like a good time to try it out.

See, here is the thing, and there is no way to explain this to Leftists:

If Trump (Conservative ideas) wins, even Leftists will benefit from it.

If Harris (Leftist ideas) wins, everyone, even Leftists who vote for her, will suffer.

In the case of things like the asinine National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, we even have to protect them from themselves!

What about that compact 20 plus states signed promising to deliver their electoral college votes to the popular vote winner?

Are California and New York now going to cast their votes for Trump?
