Chris Hayes called the Electoral College “a wildly dangerous institution that undermines democracy'

MSNBC host Chris Hayes fumed over new poll results showing former President Trump as the favorite to win the Electoral College and therefore the presidency in November.

On his X account Friday, the "All in With Chris Hayes" anchor blasted recent poll results from famed pollster Nate Silver showing that Harris would most likely beat Trump in the national popular vote if the election were held today, though Trump would win the Electoral College.

"It’s clear as day the Electoral College is, to quote the great Justice Jackson a national suicide pact," Hayes posted.

If not for Fox News and Breitbart, I’d never know what they were saying over at irrelevant MSDNC.

America was founded as a representative republic. A federation of various separate and distinct nation states. I do not want to live in a democracy with an all powerful central government. Nor would any sane person if they truly understood the ramifications.

Democracy is a suicide pact everywhere it’s been tried.

Agreed. Imagine how much better NY senators would be if the state reps from outside of NYC had an equal say in who would represent their entire state, and not just NYC.

The electoral college model is the ONLY thing keeping ANY value in my vote.

”Democracy is a suicide pact everywhere it’s been tried.”

They just needed the right people, like Kamala and Whats-his-face.

Republicans might do better without the electoral college, I’d like to see some sort of a realistic study. Thee have to be huge numbers of Republicans and conservatives iun NY and KKKalifornicatia who do not bother to vote noww yet who would be likely to vote if it meant anything.

That’s a good point you make but the electoral college is about the last remnant of federalism we still have.

Electoral College should be at the county level, not the state level.

>> a wildly dangerous institution that undermines democracy

Unlike the DNC and legacy media that fabricated a Russian colluson hoax to undermine an elected government or selected a presidential candidate that did not get a single primary vote.
