Liberals want to convert the electoral college to an elementary school popularity contest.
Heck, lets just do away with voting and use “likes” on Instagram.

In the late 19th century as pressure was building for what evolved as the 17th Amendment, one Senator predicted a push for popular presidential elections as a direct consequence.

Should progs get their way and do away with the EC, they will next push for letting the people vote directly, nationwide internet referenda, for national laws. We’ll become an Athens of 400+ million people and suffer the same consequences.
