Bernie Sanders, 'heartsick' Bill de Blasio pretty sure America shouldn't be a constitutional republic anymore

What a coincidence that on the same day the Electoral College made Donald Trump the next president, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders both declared that the Electoral College either has to be changed or done away with completely.

As an elector, de Blasio found himself inside the belly of the beast Monday, and the process made him “heartsick.” Then again, he takes it personally when New Yorkers patronize Chick-fil-A against his wishes, too.

Just cast Electoral College vote. Heartsick. This is NOT what democracy looks like. One person, one vote is only fair way. Abolish the EC!

Ha, ha. Another snowflake "heartsick". Man up.

Wow, that’s a lot of likes for a suggestion to scrap the Electoral College entirely. But if one person, one vote — a pure democracy — is the only fair way, we’d better do away with the Senate and the House of Representatives too, for starters, and just put everything to a direct vote of the people. That should work. For now, though, the United States is not a direct democracy.

correct. It isn't and it's a good thing with the U.S being a "republic" and all. You knew that though. ????

True however this country isn't a democracy. It's a representative republic. Maybe you can you borrow Mr. Khan's constitution

It shouldn’t be that tough for the mayor of New York City to grasp — he seemed OK with the system until now. Then again, so did President Obama up until last week, when the constitutional scholar told the press that the Electoral College is nothing more than a “carryover” from the nation’s founding.

sorry commie Under #ElectoralCollege system, voters elected a national president, not California’s choice for president.

Speaking of socialists and superdelegates, Sen. Bernie Sanders, who won quite a few states of his own but was kneecapped by the Democratic National Committee, suddenly agrees that something’s wrong with the American electoral system.

Trump received 2.5 million fewer votes than Clinton, yet he'll soon be president. Clearly, in a democratic society, this shouldn't happen.

We need to change the electoral college.

— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) December 19, 2016

Yeah, maybe Sanders should set his sights a little lower to start, like fixing that superdelegate problem in the Democratic Party.

Maybe you should work on that superdelegate system first of that party you don't actually belong to. https://t.co/v3dMIbGTUC

@SenSanders the electoral college is too expensive. We need free electoral college. And we will pay for it by taxing the rich!
