This debate exemplified organization headings pretty well.
Valid points, but personally I disagree. Good topic though.
Why do you think that?
LOL the EC favors Democrats
It's, for this reason, I don't support elected Heads of State and prefer our British Westminster system.
Under our current means of electing presidents, whoever wins the majority of support gets an entire term to themselves. If the Democrats get 60% of the vote +- 5 percentage points, then they are always going to win the white house, even though many people don't support them. Under the pie chart method, if you win 60% of the votes, your representative gets to be in office for 60% of a term. This way, democracy doesn't become tyranny of the majority, since every party can get representation. I predict the Dems or the GOP will reliably win elections in the future, so both left leaning and right leaning people need representation in government.
Pie chard method?
If we get rid of the electoral college, we need the pie chart method too to elect our presidents.
okay
Presuming my opponent raises that issue in R1, I will address it in R2.
Protects the rural people
Why not?
no no way absolutely no way
It's undemocratic!
no it should not
