It often boggles me as a European how many Americans are just 'satidfied' with the way your voting works, who wouldn't want to choose their leader directly?
I don't see why we need the Electoral College. It's easier to corrupt the few than it is to corrupt the many. Bush's second term is proof enough to that extent.
All normal dirtbag Americans are soon dead or in concentration camps. I'm sorry folks, but this is the sad reality. It's you choice to decide whether or not you believe this.
If we bog the process down with red tape the gov't can spend more money on nothing.
-It's all moot because "they" own both parties Like Don King managing both fighters in the ring doesn't matter who really wins King gets a cut either way. That's why it's always a choice between a douche and a turd.
So, the national convention determines the candidates for president and the Primaries/caucuses determine the candidates for the candidates for the president?
I propose that we introduce a measure called ratio-of-support (Against/For Ratio) behind every 'elector', 'delegate', 'district', 'state', etc. Such measure (or ratio) will represent the weight each of these intermediate stages have in forming the final outcome of the election process.
Apparently voters can never vote directly and their votes can get changed at intermediate stages by allocating them to the winner ('elector', 'delegate', etc.) of an intermediate stage. 'Winner takes all' should only happen at the very end of the election process.
give California to the blacks.  they need their own country and California is the largest economy in the US.  If their claim of racism is true they will make California the most powerful nation on Earth.  If they are naturally orientated to crime as many suggest California will look like Chicago or Detroit in a year.  This is the best way to solve the race problem in the US cause what we have done for 50 years is not working. Time for radical change before a race riot breaks out. Obama has really screwed the black race and put the black race back generations.  It is like 1950 for blacks in the US thanks to Obama.
"The Blacks" are not a monolithic body much like "The whites" are not all the same. People are made up of individuals. Skin color is just sunlight that u see reflected back to your eye..Cmon when are people going to think in the 21st century for God's sake!
Actually I prefer the Japanese governmental system because the premier has to make his job; otherwise, he has to resign. It prevents leaders to stay in power so long for doing nothing or doing awful things. He is chosen by the parliament, and he has to face the parliament every week to expose his views, plans and them debate it with other deputies. The term of lengthen is 4 years; but in order to stay on power he need to be approved by the people(what we call pools). If his popularity is less than 20% he will more likely to be forced to resign for obvious reasons and if his popularity is more than 50% he can stay as premier.
The problem with the US system is that it is not the people that chose the president. You chose representatives witch add up to a small number that can then be influenced by external forces. To many behind closed doors deals are made for my liking.
this is incomprehensible. So in your primaries, you go give your votes to some delegates who may or may not convey your vote to give their delegate vote to a candidate within a party. Then, during general elections, you go vote to compose your electoral college, who should convey the public vote? And what's up with superdelegates, where's the democracy in that? Oh yeah, and before you can even consider a candidate, you need a candidate with almost a billion for running a campaign. Such democracy. Much freedom. Wow.
Only official members of the Democratic and Republican Party can vote in closed primary and any U.S Citizen at age 18 and older can vote in that state and you forgot semi closed primary.
Natural born US citizen to run for president? Is Ted Cruz qualified? I personally don't think Obama doesn't qualify either. What I believe in does not matter. Neither does my Presidential election vote. People vote for president but it is the electoral college that decides who takes office.
I love how she says "Once the candidate is officially announced, he or SHE is inaugurated President…" Yeah, as if there ever was a female president LOL
This election process failed the American people and put a dangerous imbecile in the White House. Making our election process fair and easily accessible ( having plenty voting venues and not closing them down in key areas where it's harder where predominately democratic voters live), Ending "Cross Check" ( that destroys votes on account of finding similar names in different states), having it verifiable (with accountable paper ballots in every state) and New hack-proof voting machines (replacing the outdated machines that were proven to be hackable). Our elections would be the republicans worst nightmare.

Nice to see someone smart!

Yeeaahh… We is not that smart at times…..
And Thats why I don't vote.
vive sainte marie !!!

1st term too really.
5:55 popular vote is the only one that "should" count, but we know how that works out don't we?
If we bog the process down with red tape the gov't can spend more money on nothing.

I know. I saw the voting booths from back then.
Panama was under U.S. control at that time. And those people are idiots.
Well done – very clear information
If that bothers you, move to a Republican state.
So, the national convention determines the candidates for president and the Primaries/caucuses determine the candidates for the candidates for the president?
so how does the popular vote matter?
I propose that we introduce a measure called ratio-of-support (Against/For Ratio) behind every 'elector', 'delegate', 'district', 'state', etc. Such measure (or ratio) will represent the weight each of these intermediate stages have in forming the final outcome of the election process.

Thank you! You explained it clear, concise, and to the point 🙂
Sorry, money gets presidents into the white house. Our votes don't mean anything.
I still don't understand…
Stupidest way of choosing President
Does this "Natural born US citizen" not apply to Ted Cruz? The guy is even not born in the USA
what a scam
How the hell did the United States become the leader of the free world? Does anyone understand this?
give California to the blacks.  they need their own country and California is the largest economy in the US.  If their claim of racism is true they will make California the most powerful nation on Earth.  If they are naturally orientated to crime as many suggest California will look like Chicago or Detroit in a year.  This is the best way to solve the race problem in the US cause what we have done for 50 years is not working. Time for radical change before a race riot breaks out. Obama has really screwed the black race and put the black race back generations.  It is like 1950 for blacks in the US thanks to Obama.
I'm gonna run for President in 2043

your vote doesn't really matter when it comes down to it. Nice!!!

This is hacked

Basically a monkey in a room full of 3 year old is given a gun with one bullet, the father of whichever one dies gets elected. End of story
