I think this more than most issues, if it became reality, could spilt the union up.

In 2016 I wonder how many NY's didn't vote because of the electoral system and how it swings NY?

This is theater, nothing more.
The asshat knows 38 states aren't buying what he's peddling.

This is a show, intended only to prolong a propaganda talking point and incite clickbait traffic. Princess Nancy Pee will never get 100% of her blue donkey caucus AND over the 55 Republicans needed to abandon the American People to advance any bill that recommends amending the Constitution. Even after that, Chucky Cheese will never garner the full herd of blue donkeys AND get 22 Republican Senators to desert the American people and then get approval from 38 states. It ain't gonna happen. Ever.

Gunny's right. What's scary is that the dems will try to increase the amount of SC justices when/if they get back in power in the senate, effectively swinging the court's balance away from constitutionality. Screenshot this.
We are in a political war at this point.

Holding the Senate is our only wild card... provided RINO's don't fuck that up.

That’s what I was thinking - the end of the Union.

Don’t you need way more than a simple majority to change large things like this. It requires 3/4 state approval and that won’t happen anytime soon or ever.
True, but scary that it even has that level of intent.

I think it was a mistake to move to direct election of Senators as well. Senators are there to represent states, not voters. Representatives are their for “the people.”

BINGO!
When I was younger, I couldn't understand why senators were not always directly elected. But, later on, I understood that in the federal government, the House of Representatives was intended to represent "the people" and the Senate was intended to represent the states (since senators were elected by state legislatures).
In effect, the 17th amendment (supported by Progressives) removed states' representation in the federal government. That left us with situations where state legislatures and governors are against policies but the same state's senators support a policy (or vise versa). Before the 17th amendment, such senators would have been recalled by their respective states.

Anyone hear of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact? Basically, it's an agreement between states that they will award their electoral votes to whomever wins the nationwide popular vote. It only comes into effect once the compact has enough electoral votes to decide the election (currently they're at 189/270). New York is already a member, BTW.
Now, I'm totally against this for many reasons, but can you imagine if they got enough votes for this to take place, and a Republican won the popular vote? My guess is we'd see some "emergency" legislation pass overnight to break out of the compact...

Hey democrats, protest that you oppose the electoral college and just don't vote.

This is so sad. It just proves beyond question that many, many citizens have no idea about the proper functioning of our government. Listening to Mayor Buttgig give his speech over the weekend just made my stomach churn. It was so disingenuous and pandering. Yet, he got all sorts of applause for the comments. Is it really that easy? God I hope not.

The political divide seems to be greater today than any other recent time in history (that Im aware of). And its pretty crazy how far apart things have become. I attribute this more towards the left going waaaaayyyyyyy left and acting like spoiled brats that will stop at nothing to get their way. I hope the moderate Americans wake up and vote out the lunatic lefties.
Under Article II of the Constitution, we elect by Electorates. Your little bill, means nothing. You sir are an idiot!
