Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.

Shitposting in other comms please!
I would so badly like to see this. tbh until this election, I didn't realize how much of a bugbear maintaining the electoral college was for chuds (I knew about Trump losing the popular vote in 2016 but didn't think republicans thought about it that much) and it was funny seeing people who ostensibly hate "government red tape" suddenly inventing the flimsiest, most tenuous reasons for why we need to keep doing this convoluted bullcrap. "rUsSiA DoEsN'T HaVe aN ElEcToRaL CoLlEgE SyStEm aNd iT'S A DiCtAtOrShIp" yeah I think there's more to their problems than that lol
It would be incredibly funny if the right-wing immigration into Texas and Florida shifted the electoral college towards Democrat's favor.
Other funny possibilities: Harris wins two turns, Thomas, Alito and Roberts retire or die from the supreme court, and the Democrats secure a durable supermajority on the court. Republicans proceed to have a meltdown about how we need to reform all these shitty, undemocratic systems. Democrats already worship institutions, so it's easy to imagine Lin Manuel Miranda writing bars about the wisdom of the founding fathers.
