Fuck the Electoral College

Ok now i can understand the necessity of its existence for as long as its been used up to... well... about 10 years ago, see now and days we live in a world of mass communication and massive data exchange and we are even having presidential debates where candidates are answering questions from Youtube, see this tells me that now someone like me can have my voice heard a lot more then ever before, but i still see many problems in the way we elect presidents... The most prominent of them being the fact we still have the electoral college now i understand when there wasn't mass media instant results of voting and all this nice modern technology that yes we needed to send someone from our state to vote for a president for us, it was a fair thing to do, but now that we are able to get real time voting results we need to cut the crap and remove the electoral college all together, Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election because thousands of peoples votes were disenfranchised because even though he should have gotten the votes he didn't. I'm personally sick of seeing the peoples voice trumped by political Bullshit. Think about it, if we were to remove the electoral college when we vote for our president that means EVERY vote would matter not just if your out numbered in a state then it doest, you me and everyone else would be important, and presidential hopefuls wouldn't just go to the states with the most electoral votes they would have to be liked by the majority of the country, the people would finally be the most important thing in the candidates minds making them need to work even better to become or stay president. I feel we need to modernize our old methods of government as our new technologies and ideals come forth. We became the greatest nation in the world because we were progressive but i think we came to a point where we think we are perfect and don't need to change because we are "America" well I'm here to tell you that's how we got ahead but after that we stopped getting even farther ahead, and now everyone else is catching up and we need to get back to the idea of how can we become better how can we improve so that we can keep our title of the greatest nation in the world, and i honestly believe that if we were to remove this unnecessary system to our election methods we will allow ourselves to become more progressive and a better nation because more people would want to be involved if they feel that their vote actually matters, and the more involvement the more new ideas come into view the more progressive we become as a nation and I believe that is the most important.
