@catlynne333 "ethnic cleansing" is a euphemism. Call it genocide.

Its corrupt as hell, anti-democratic and there isn't a blue argument for keeping it. Popular voting would kill the GOP in one cycle.

Walz says the Electoral College ‘needs to go’

His comments are a painful reminder for Democrats of 2016, when Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes but fell short of the 270 votes she needed in the Electoral College and lost to Donald Trump.

@Bix I am only surprised they aren't made in Russia.
