Al Gore calls for an end to the Electoral College (interstate, brainwash)

[Grandpa Pipes]

The end of the Electoral College is way past due. People are brainwashed into believing their vote counts in the POTUS election and IT DOES NOT!

We need to change that.............

I think its antiquated and stupid. Sort of like states who still have frigging caucuses.

Mob rule WIN!

It's a topic worth discussing.

Unfortunately, the only time it really ever comes up is when someone wants to cry about the rules they agreed to which caused them to lose.

It's like a bunch of college football fans crying about how there should be a playoff system, but only after they didn't get the bid they felt they deserved.

Wierd how you never heard much about this in 2008?
