Yeah no, wrong.

The electoral college was made for completely different reasons.

1.) the USA is a giantic land. The electoral collge was meant to represent a community that had (back then) no real means to communicate or aroganize

2.) The USA is a Republic, not a pure Democracy you stupid chink! Every state was supposed to have a word that counted for something. Not just the coastal regions and big cities.

There, I've explained why it's a horrible fucking idea.
A popular vote will only ever work in a homogeneous nation without an exploitable welfare state, and ONLY if that population has a willingness to contribute to the well being of their people and society at large, as well as a sense of extreme national pride.
We could call it Social Nationalism or something catchy like that.

Letting any tom dick and harry vote without enforcing any voter ID laws is also pretty undemocratic.

Having electronic voting machines with obscured closed source software is pretty undemocratic.

Having any sort of government where you vote for your representative instead of voting for each and every policy you actually support is pretty undemocratic. "One person one vote" right?

If only the states had all gained explicit autonomy. They should be respected as individual countries. There is no need for a federal government. States will naturally ally, and any aggressors will be vastly outnumbered. Funnily enough, what was supposed to protect the states has since become the most blatant violator of states' rights. It has indebted states to one another, enslaved them to federal policy and used them to meet its own political desires. It's just another EU that needs to be abolished.

DEMOCRACY IS SATANISM. It sews discord among the people where there should be unity. It gives power to the information manufacturers. It destroys nations, and should be only used in small communities (less than 50k people, ideally around 2k) and it should be direct (but even here it is not the preferred option). But it should never be used in a non-local environment. The natural warrior elite should rule with one man owning the whole land, giving out that land to people to live on and rule them rightly.

Presidential elections are determined by who wins the popular vote in each of the fifty states so in essense there are fifty elections.

The Electoral College works perfectly fine and people are free to change state election laws to award Electoral votes proportionally the way Maine and Nebraska currently do. Ironically, if that were to happen, Democrats would have more to lose since they are heavily dependent on high population blue states anchored by major cities to win. Start awarding Electoral votes proportionally and a lot of disenfranchised voters can finally have their voices heard in Presidential elections.

Democracy was a mistake. It's only use is to allow the plebeians a sense of self mastery and importance, and when the votes masses are elevated beyond that of those patricians who are primarily responsible for the well-being of the state, governance devolves into mere mob rule. However, the neither can the patricians nor the monarch be trusted with all power, as their machinations can be just as destructive as those of the rabble. Therefore, a balance of powers monarchic, oligarchic and democratic is the noblest and most tenacious form of governance.
Take the Spartan pill.

The idea some far right dudes get is that everybody in California are illegals, and that millions vote illegally when in reality if you look at the FBI reports its only a couple hundred that vote illegally on average per election and thats only because there data gets mixed up in the sense that all you really need is a passport to be able to vote. Many people who come here don't risk it though. The real blame goes to certain states and there individual voter laws, there is no singular law.

Learn what a state is, in the context of the UNITED STATES.
Our laws are different, and the only single set of laws that are uniform to us all is the Constitution, and even that goes to court routinely.
The less populous states refuse to turn over their self-determination to a handful of more populous states, thus we are a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC, not a pure democracy.

I come from one of the more populous commonwealths, and I wouldn't have it any other way. This is the only method that allows each state to have a meaningful voice in the country's governance.

The popular vote system allows 5 cities in 5 states to control the outcome of the other 45 states.

Why would a federation need complete democracy?

It's too big and diverse.

Democracy is only possible in uniform, small units. It's tied to information sharing speed and transport, unfortunately. I mean, I've genuinely never understood when people call for democracy of big federations. How would you ever figure a representative of Missisipi could legislate together with a representative of Vermont or whatever?

Ditto for the EU, how could my representative of Bulgaria legislate with the Danish representatives? Hell, we're closer to them than we are to the Dutch, even if we do a shitload of business with them. How could a representative of East Germany legislate together with one of Bavaria?

They don't represent the same people and that means you'd need everyone to have absolutely equal power, which would mean zero would ever happen since everyone would veto everything.

Ever make a descision which you believe is right, but superceedes the government's power? That's an act of anarchy, and directly contributes to the dissolution of the government, because the most effective way to weaken a system is to not participate. In this example a system of law.

You don't need to be elected. The most common way for a Republic to compose itself is to have elected officials (helps with the whole legitimacy thing).

And you don't understand that the election process of the president has nothing to do with whether it's a republic or not. A republic is a form of government with a chief executive that is not a monarch and a representative legislative body. If the president were elected by popular vote the US would still be a republic.

War is horrific , why do I aspire towards war you ask ?

Because then there are no laws.... just as in times of peace there never truly is law. Law must apply to all or to none in our country.

Sure there will be pain , sorrow, blood and death.... but why fear it when you can use it to your advantage ?

The only rules of war are :
1. You are dead and no longer matter.
2. You are alive without constraint or morality other than that of which resides in your own heart.

Take out (((them))) and their loved ones, end the blood line and prevent a Caste system from spawning like it is right this very moment. (Ch3ls3a C1int0n as an example)

It is only treason if we as a people do not instill a new government in the name of future generations not yet born. We do this, it is fully lawful and will be damned by the powerful.

We are a democratic republic. The overarching system is the republic. The way we elect our representatives is by democratic vote. The people vote on politicians, who then vote democratically on political issues. This has always been the case,

You do get "one person, one vote" when you are electing state and lower level officials, which is how it has always been. The electoral college is in place so that certain regions of the country can't affect other states as strongly. Imagine the entire U.S. having the politics of California or New York... no thank you.

Electoral college should be done away with desu, it gives unfair representation to smaller states. Also the way the system is now it makes being a republican in california an entirely pointless existence. If things weren't won by district and state then you would actually see far more republicans turn out in states like new york/california/washington.

What has slave representation got to do with the inherent Federal nature of the United States government and hence the implementation of the Electoral college?

Let me see if you retards will finally understand this.

A democracy is any form of government in which the people vote on policy, representatives, or a mix of both


A republic is a form of democracy, one in which the government is headed by an elected chief executive along with an elected legislative body.

Every republic is a democracy. The US is a republic, therefore it is also a democracy.
>>
>>136584189
A republic is a mob of politicians.

>>136584478
>Every republic is a democracy
That's not true.

Dictatorships are republics.
>>
>>136584859
That's just propaganda though. A republic has to have an elected body of representatives. North Korea calls themselves a republic but they never vote for anything.

The executive doesn't matter, he can either be elected or nominated by the legislature.
>>
>>136584859
Not true, dictatorships don't have a freely elected legislative body.

Because Monarchies can also have elected bodies of Representatives too you know...

>They vote for pre approved candidates and Kim Jong Un has the supreme power anyway. Their "elections" are a farce.
Kind of like the shitty two-party system we have now between Democrats and Republicans?
>>
>>136585297
A monarchy by definition can't be a republic. That would be a constitutional or semi-constitutionalnal monarchy, depending on what the monarch can or can't do. The UK is an example of the former, the German Empire is an example of the latter.
>>
>>136585131
>>136585036
A republic is a form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter" – not the private concern or property of the rulers – and where offices of state are elected or appointed, rather than inherited. It is a government where the head of state is not a monarch.
Election of individuals for a legislative body is known as "representative democracy".
Also, most dictatorships still hold elections even if they are one-party states.
>>
>>136585131
So its FREELY elected legislative body now is it?

What about the UK, or Norway, or Sweden, or the Netherlands? They're monarchies but they have a FREELY elected legislative body too.
>>
>>136585438
You can vote for plenty of other candidates. Other parties do exist. It's not really like North Korea, since they basically have 1 party anyway.

A republic is a form of government in which their is no monarchy or that positions of government are not legally passed on due to heredity.

>>
>>136585546
I didn't realize I had to spell out that elections have to be real.

What bout those countries? They fulfill one of the requirements for being a republic but not the other one I mentioned earlier. They are democracies but not republics.
>>
>>136585728
That's one of the conditions. It also needs an elected legislative body.
>>
>>136585543
A republic is a system of government where the power is held by an elected legislative body. Look up what it means.

Some dictatorships do hold "elections", but you can't really call them free or fair. Which is why they're not really republics since it's restricted to state approved view points. It's not real representation.
>>
>>136585745
I've given the full definition before. If you want to be specific, the executive of a republic cannot be a monarch or any other kind of inherited position.
>>
>>136585760
>elections in the UK aren't real
Now that's just rude, London may be a Muslim shithole but its not so bad they have to rig elections... yet.

>>
>>136586074
>no true Scotsman

No you're just talking bullshit. It goes without saying that elections can't be manipulated or tampered with. A vote has to be free and fair.

It's also obvious that a republic can't have a monarchy. I've said that 5 times before in this thread.
>>
>>136585887
"In American English, the definition of a republic can also refer specifically to a government in which elected individuals represent the citizen body, known elsewhere as a representative democracy (a democratic republic),[4] and exercise power according to the rule of law (a constitutional republic)."
Only burgers believe that a republic must be democratic
Also since when has elections being free been a requirement, if an election is held then the individual is elected and according to Americans that is definition of a republic.
>>
>>136586074
Are you fucked in the head? I never said they don't have real elections, I said they meet one of the conditions for being a republic (an elected legislative body) but not the other (not having a monarch as head of state).
>>
>>136585864
>It also needs an elected legislative body.
No It does not.
The only requirement to be a republic is to not pass offices of government by heredity. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing less.
>>
>>136585887
>A republic is a system of government where the power is held by an elected legislative body.
This is false. Canada is not a republic even while having a system of government where the power is held by an elected legislative body.
>>
>>136586265
Well, I learned American English. Pointless argument then.
>>
>>136586352
>A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/republic

Yeah yeah. Canada isn't republic because the queen is still the head of state. I neglected to mention that because I've said it like 6 times already.

To make this simpler, a monarchy is where sovereignty is vested within one person or family. Elective monarchies have existed in past, such as HRE, but they were still monarchies as sovereignty was vested within the monarchy.
Anything opposite to this is a republic. A republic does not need to be elected, as long as sovereignty is vested within either the people or nation.
>>
>>136586694
This is the definition I go by.
