Downey: And you know why the electoral college really works is because it forces both political parties to try to court moderate voters in swing states. Blow: 48 of the 50 states have a winner take all electoral college system, there is no reason to go into a state... show more

Every 4 years the GOP relies on a DEI program.

I have never once had someone defend the electoral college without relying on either A) Claiming without evidence it prevents mob rule B) Saying "the founders know best" C) Admitting they think it helps Republicans/rural voters and that's good

Sure! I'll just easily sell my house, hire a moving...wait... THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE FUCKING PROBLEM!

My love for Mr. .@CharlesMBlow is profound. .@CNN_NewsNight .@abbydphillip & all the platforms should keep him on. He brings facts with levity - so needed in these times. 💙🔥

That Downey lady sitting there seething while Ana Navarro was cackling is such a visual. 😁

@CharlesMBlow being fresh out of Fs and just flambéing these goofs is so gratifying

Downey is a clown. If there are no electoral college, presidential candidates would more likely court all states because it’s the individual vote that matters.

Important Civics Update for the kids in the back: The founders would never have agreed to the Electoral College under present circumstances. It was hotly debated when the population spread between largest & smallest state was 12:1 TODAY IT IS 68:1 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Charles Blow OWNS every argument (and sounds so damned sophisticated and elegant when he’s doing it)! ❤️

The electoral college is the ultimate DEI.

Downey forgot the Republican Charles Blow Rule: keep talking faster and louder until the commercial break or @CharlesMBlow corrects you with facts and common sense and wins the argument. So click through on his name and Follow. I do. 😇

Half the Senate reps 22 million people

She’s. Not bright. At all.

Fuck that bitch... JFC. #ItsACult #ItNeverEnds

The Electoral College was setup to support slavery. Three-fifths of population couldn’t vote but was counted as voters which gave the slave states a higher proportion of congressional seats. The Supreme Court just reinstated this rule in a different form.

He calls bs every time with these lunatics Republicans coming on tv trying to rationalize the buffoonery of Republican policies and politics! What the actual f—? If you are a Republican and support Trump and his insanity, you need to be in a padded room!

She’s not the sharpest tool. The dumbest advice ever!

She is so dumb!

Well, good. Electoral college isn’t about moderate voters, it’s about state rights.

This is such a precious argument. We heard it from folks whose states were rabid anti-Roe. “You don’t like it? Just move.” Most people, even those not squeezing pennies until the copper (!) melts, don’t have the luxury of relocating in a blink. For those most affected by (cont)

Hilliary is right it is an abomination All votes should hold equal weight

@MalcolmNance The current Electoral college is stupid for the reason Charles names. The Presidential race should be determined by popular vote only.

It’s insane to me that Nebraska of all places is the one(?) state that does the logical thing and distributes its electoral college votes proportionally. Hopefully the National Popular Vote Compact will effectively nullify it soon.

Nonsense, the EC centers the election around 7 or 8 swing states, the other states are totally irrelevant.

Even Ana is cracking up laughing at this lady who can't summon a facts if it was placed right in front of her

Wait. What?🤣🤣🤣🤣

Huh?

@carolinedowney_ is hard to listen to and harder still to look at.

His energy is hilarious

Typical white woman response when she doesn’t have a real response.

Downy is correct. Swing states are the key.

Sorry, Charles, that is an idiotic argument. There are certain states that have been red for years. You still have to try to change their minds.

Downey's point is silly
