    The only people who like the electoral college are people who lose the popular vote

        What is superior about it at all? That it gives disproportional voting power to a few states?

                I’m thinking you shouldn’t talk about the electoral college until you understand what it does because you’re dead wrong

                Power IS held by a few states…the swing states…that are made important because the electoral college gives them disproportionate votes. States aren’t people and where you live shouldn’t matter for the presidential election.

                [https://fairvote.org/archives/the_electoral_college-population_vs_electoral_votes/](A vote in Wyoming has the same “power” as 2 1/2 votes from Oregon). What about that sounds right to you?

                Ending slavery is not a conservative position by definition. Conservatism means continuing the system that is currently in place and accepted.

            I guess if you knew basically nothing about US history that would be a convincing statement.
