General Discussion

As a new poster here, you have not had an opportunity to know what I have posted about the current regime and how to push back and preserve democracy.

Trump's instructions to the USPS have no bearing on whether the EC should be abolished.

You knew that you would not get much agreement when you started this thread. You said as much in your OP. So it appears to me that the purpose of the OP is to try to persuade people to embrace the EC, but your posts are not very persuasive. They are all over the place on presidential powers, with at least one claim that is factually not true and others that are irrelevant.

Your perspective on preserving the EC would go over well as talking points on a RW site where people are confident that they have a solid red state bloc on presidential elections, which they fear losing if the EC is abolished. But a basic principal of democracy that I support is that every individual vote matters and should be counted.

I live in a blue state which is blue only because of a huge blue city and another not as large city that is blue. The majority of rural areas, small towns, and villages in the rest of the state are red. Those RW voters can choose reprentarives for themselves, but their presidential votes are nullified by the state's blue cities. Without the EC, those votes would matter. It works both ways for both major parties.

Without the EC, presidential candidates would have to address the needs and wishes of people across the country instead of focusing on a few "swing states."

No EC is a win-win for everyone.
