Was i ever defending the Electoral College? I'm not a fan of it - at all. I've just been arguing against amending the Constitution.
Earlier in this thread:
Ted King
Can anyone provide a good argument for retaining the Electoral College?
How about: it's worked for 235 years, and all in all, that's a pretty good record.
Sure looks like an argument for retaining the Electoral College in direct response to the question about providing a good argument for retaining it. When I said I thought you were kidding, you said you weren't. Then you switched to arguing that it wasn't worth trying to change it. Then you brought up that there is another way to do it without doing a Constitutional amendment, a method you argued - in the old thread you linked to - that won't ever happen. Perhaps all that had something to do with why I had a problem keeping track of what you were trying to do in this thread.
