The only people who like the electoral college are people who lose the popular vote

What is superior about it at all? That it gives disproportional voting power to a few states?

I’m thinking you shouldn’t talk about the electoral college until you understand what it does because you’re dead wrong
Power IS held by a few states…the swing states…that are made important because the electoral college gives them disproportionate votes. States aren’t people and where you live shouldn’t matter for the presidential election.
[https://fairvote.org/archives/the_electoral_college-population_vs_electoral_votes/](A vote in Wyoming has the same “power” as 2 1/2 votes from Oregon). What about that sounds right to you?

Diversity killed unity
Remember the articles of confederation.
Federalism has always been a tricky balance.
We are the United States, not United Citizens.

Ending slavery is not a conservative position by definition. Conservatism means continuing the system that is currently in place and accepted.
Not correct. Conservatism aims for the eternal. Our system is feudalism, which chattel slavery replaced.

By definition, the Radical Republicans were progressives.
Back then it had a lot more to do with industry than Communism.

Democrats were conservative back then.
I guess if you knew basically nothing about US history that would be a convincing statement.

Slavery sucked because it was diversity.
It was also cruel and pointless, since it was low quality labor.
The solution is ending diversity.
