    You are implying I'm arguing that it doesn't take 38 states. Address what I actually say, and not what you make up and pretend I say. Then I wont' have to keep calling you on it.

    I correctly declare arguments made up and attributed to me as strawmen. Don't want them called out? don't make them.

    Huh? How would you not know that it takes 38 states to amend the constitution? Everyone knows that.

    Good luck getting 38 states to eliminate the electoral college.

    That is not true. Longshot provided many arguments against your claim that it is "un-American" to go against the popular vote in Presidential elections. He made no assertion on anything you might be claiming. He just provided his own opinion as to why it is not "un-American".

    it is demonstrably true.
    and I've addressed actual replies to my arguments. I point out the strawmen that he also throws up.

    fun fact. I've never claimed it doesn't. You can stop making strawmen now. You've slayed the **** out of this one.

    I doubt these anti-EC folks will get 38 states to agree with them.

    The legislature in Colorado is now being run by corrupt idiots, all the way to the most corrupt of all the governor. Unfortunately for this once beautiful state so many brain dead Californians moved in here that they did everything they could to escape the idiocy of their own state, (100% due to democrat policies) then vote for the same moronic people that destroyed California so now we are a blue state.

    My hope is that they end up running one of the far left socialist candidates for president, and as it should it scares the **** out of independents and Trump ends up winning the popular, vote. Then Colorado would have given their electoral votes to the democrat but since the democrats voted to give them to the winner of the popular vote then Trump will get all the democrats votes from Colorado. Now that is what we call justice.

    Then do it again. There is no excuse for being lazy in such a discussion.

    I don't need to do it again. There is no excuse for you being lazy and searching any of the dozens of other threads on this topic.

    Then cite the other threads where it has supposedly been explained on the part of yourself precisely how the electoral college is outdated and no longer needed in the united states.

    no. I have no need or onus to continuously refute the same arguments over and over and over again. You are free to search the dozens of other threads if you wish. Or don't. The facts don't change either way.

    Then do not introduce topics of discussion if there is no actual desire on the part of yourself to discuss the matter when it is brought up.

    I will of course introduce topics of discussion, and post how I wish. I couldn't care less what your opinion is.

    Disregarding the established forum rules is not a wise course of action to engage in.
