Should "Pocahantus" lose her citizenship?

Oh, when we're talking about a vote, the vote is what matters. If we got rid of the electoral college, the only difference would be that everyone would have an equal vote for the first time in our history, and the representative makeup of the government would have to actually be at least somewhat closer to, ya know, ....representative of the people. The whole reason we have an electoral college was due to problems of the 18th century that no longer mean anything in the 21st century.

Conservative bootlickers seem to think big government knows better than the people, and the majority should be stuck with the preferences of the minority. It's a completely bent notion.

If we were simply a republic we wouldn't be voting on anything at all but congressmen. Any republic is simply some form or other of representative democracy. In the US we are technically a federation of states that is a fusion of democracy and republic...and a republic is just a specific spectrum of democracy.

I know, I know...you're probably conflating the names of American political parties with what the root concepts actually mean, blah blah.

Anyways...are there any other big democracies in the world that use an electoral college equivalent? Anyone know? (And I don't mean parliamentary systems where the executive is beholden to the legislature.)
