I honestly don’t understand why we talk about eliminating the Electoral College when it literally requires some states to vote in favor of giving up their own power. In what economy of incentives is this even possible?
It doesn’t require the handful of swing states to be onboard. It just requires the heavy hitters which are largely marginalized by the electoral college and some of the smaller deep left or right states which are also made pretty irrelevant in terms of campaigning even if they get a bit more influence
The politics in Germany better remain under control. If the fucking AfD took power, all of our neighbors, with exception the fucking Austrians and Swiss, would invade our asses.
For those who disagree, simply read about Spain, Italy, Germany, and Japan during the 1930’s. Furthermore, the Electoral College should be shut down.

Nee nee UNS passiert das nicht. Wir haben das unter Kontrolle.

And still even there you can see the right in rise of power. But yes. Germany is under scrutiny.
I just posted that as popular last words before things go sideways with a hint of sarcasm.
