Both came to power in something closer to the Electoral college than the popular vote.Nope. Neither did Stalin who is the other best-known totalitarian leader.
How many voters are in those metro areas? How many actually vote for dems or repubs?Wrong. With popular vote a specifically advantaged minority in a couple of metro areas would rule.
Really? Over 60 million people voted republican. Do you really think the popular vote for president would kill the republican party? If so it is hardly worth saving.Yup, by hook or by crook. Y'all could just throw milkshakes and bricks at legislators who oppose the Nat'l Popular Vote Compact. Anything to assure one-party rule. WOOT WOOT! Way to preserve democracy and fight totalitarianism.
When in the history of the world has a dictator gained power by benefit of a national popular vote?It is called totalitarianism, popular all over the world. I'm used to it but don't have to like it.
Not even close. Don't confuse totalitarian with authoritarian. Hitler governed by the will of his people.As if Hitler wasn’t the prototype for totalitarianism.
I was mimicking your wording; it's really minorities. Blacks, Hispanics, and penthouse liberals in the NYC region and greater LA -- all of whom vote overwhelmingly for one party -- would decide the presidency in every election.How?
Hitler did not win the popular vote to gain power.Not even close. Don't confuse totalitarian with authoritarian. Hitler governed by the will of his people.
Bullshit. That amounts to less than five million voters.I was mimicking your wording; it's really minorities. Blacks, Hispanics, and penthouse liberals in the NYC region and greater LA -- all of whom vote overwhelmingly for one party -- would decide the presidency in every election.
Still Blacks being allowed to vote??? Scary for the white nationalists typesBullshit. That amounts to less than five million voters.
But it's BECOMING a thing.There isn't one election in this country, there are 50 elections. Adding the results of those elections together and declaring them the winner is like going to the point differential between NFL teams and declaring the largest point spread the winner.
1) Everyone knows who is winning their State and by how much. People do and don't show up to vote based on how the election in their State is doing, not on how the national election is going. So there is no logical basis to say that Hillary won some sort of fake point spread battle and that means anything. Many millions of Republicans in California, New York, Illinois, etc. have no incentive to show up for example.
2) The founders were right that small States should have some level of protection from big ones. Big ones today are mostly socialist. They are malevolent to small States. All the more reason they should have more protection
3) Every State has slightly different voting rules, machines, processes, requirements. Again, to claim you can add point spreads together and draw a conclusion is ridiculous. That California can register millions of illegal aliens and allow them to vote while other States don't doesn't make us more "democratic"
4) We aren't a Democracy, we are a Republic. The Feds were to just provide for a national defense and a few other things. There is no reason to have a "Democracy" for a limited function government. The States should control it. And most government should be local. Local government should be democratic
Quite a few times, really. One of the most famous modern dictators, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, was popularly elected. So was Juan Peron. Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro.When in the history of the world has a dictator gained power by benefit of a national popular vote?
Hitler governed by terror and by the support of a mob that was never a majority.Not even close. Don't confuse totalitarian with authoritarian. Hitler governed by the will of his people.
Not unless a LOT of the Americans who don’t fit that description agreed.I was mimicking your wording; it's really minorities. Blacks, Hispanics, and penthouse liberals in the NYC region and greater LA -- all of whom vote overwhelmingly for one party -- would decide the presidency in every election.
But it's BECOMING a thing.

Maybe look this stuff up before you cry and look stupid.Bullshit. That amounts to less than five million voters.
It isn't meaningless. Nor is it forced.You know this is meaningless, right ?
An interstate compact does not have the authority to tell a state to change its election law. A Constitutional amendment would, but an interstate compact does not.”
I'm going to have to question Maduro ,being elected fair and squareQuite a few times, really. One of the most famous modern dictators, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, was popularly elected. So was Juan Peron. Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro.
