no. its self evident that scrapping the electoral college will change campaign tactics. why should an honest observation be an argument to scrap it?
why should pols only have to visit new york city, chicago, miami & LA in order to be elected? would the agenda of the federal government naturally be biased towards urban issues? that was the whole problem in 1790, & it remains to this day.
if you want a government for the city folk, instead of the whole people, & revert to direct democracy, the thing our founding fathers were avoiding, on purpose, for sound reasons...maybe people should review why the founding fathers had a problem with mob rule...
liberals sound regressive when they want to scrap the electoral vote. too busy sitting in victimhood class & not enough history class.
next time try to appeal to the other side. dont just campaign in cities & black colleges. donald did it, got the reagan dems back. now you libs gotta get the center back. good luck with all that PoC extremism running amok in your party.
