  1. CozaGames I love it when people bring up the popular vote when talking about US Presidential elections. It's like when you're playing chess with someone and they say "I would have won if the horsey piece could move straight and the Queen could jump her own pieces." It's not how the game is played, so it's completely irrelevant.

  2. Dilip Tien Care to expand on that? What "we" are you referring to? We, the People? As in the opening line of the US Constitution? The document that outlines the election process used to elect the President? That "we" or is there another "we" to which you assume I'm referring?

  3. That Guy According to what, exactly? It has been this way for over two centuries, specifically because it is outlined that way in the Constitution. It's not like we've decided to ignore the framework of our election process and do it this way instead. This is the way it works in the US. It's one of the many reasons why I laugh when people call this a democracy. It isn't. It's a Constitutional republic with some democratic features. You might want it to be different but that's not to say that it should necessarily be different. But if you have a good case for changing it, I'd be happy to read it.
