Should the electoral college be abolished?
Understand politics before making decisions that effect everybody
The whole "bigger states/bigger cities will decide elections" is not true whatsoever. It doesn't even make sense when you read into it. The people in those cities and states are what matters. Changing to a popular vote system (including stuff like ranked voting, what Australia does) will lead to people actually feeling as if their vote matters. If politicians have issues with it, they just need to adopt more popular policies that align with the views of their voter base, ya know, the people who put you in charge and the ones that you're governing. Land shouldn't vote, people should.

YOU DON'T CARE SQUAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE! All YOU CARE ABOUT IS MAINTAINING YOUR LEFTIST HOLD ON POWER TO USURP OUR LIBERTIES AND DESTROY OUR RIGHTS!

I understand your concern about protecting individual liberties and rights. A specific example that comes to mind is concerns about the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms. Some people worry that a shift in power could lead to stricter gun control laws, impacting their rights. How do you think a popular vote system would affect the balance of power and the protection of our rights?

It would make the cities infect the entire electoral system and destroy representation for farmers and small-town folks.

I do not want my right to be usurped as you were saying
@9F24W729mos9MO
I agree that my vote will actually be counted!
