you wanna do away with the electoral college, you gotta wipe out 231 years of U.S. history AND remake the constitution.

hey there !@#$%!:
i'm not trying to say we should wipe out 231 years of US history, remake the constitution, or rally for overthrowing the government. i just think that the electoral college is an outdated means to an end. if the popular vote directly counted then i think that the 2 party conglomerate would start having to actually listen to us. it seems like something that the government could do. i don't think that we should live in a direct democracy, obviously nothing would ever get done at all... there are plenty of archaic things in this country that need to adapt to how people live today. i think something as important as the office of prez ought to be taken from a actual popular vote. that's all.
i'm sick of the politics now.
