@SuperDicq@icedquinn@lucy@kurimu Do you even know what gerrymandering is? Or that there is something called US Congress, with US House of Representatives, which is completely independently voted for, regardless of the system that POTUS election is based on? And for this chamber, you have 435 first-past-the-post voting districts and THESE districts (and the ones to state congresses, these exist too!) are gerrymandered.
@SuperDicq@icedquinn@kurimu@lucy Like, oh shit, if you want to say something about US politics, please first obsess about that for a while and learn everything you can about it in strange details, because it is quite annoying to describe such basics. Do your homework pls
@SuperDicq@icedquinn@kurimu@lucy And EC is simply a regressive proportionality mechanism, sure, the winner-takes-all approach in states should probably change (and that would eliminate the problem of swing states), but overall regressive proportionality of some kind is not uncommon in federal structures (US has it in EC and the Senate, EU has it in Council of the EU and the number of representatives each country has in EP, Germany has it in Bundesrat etc.)
@lain@SuperDicq@kurimu@lucy The point IMO could be that even if in a current geopolitical scenario Europe of 1000 Liechtensteins would not be realistically possible, the greater decentralization is. Ok, something something army and security, sure + basic freedoms guaranteed on the European/federal/national level etc., but for most of the issues the decentralized structure would simply comply more to the electorate.
@SuperDicq@icedquinn@lucy@kurimu Akshually, Electoral College doesn't enable gerrymandering, as it operates (mostly, Nebraska and Maine doesn't count that much) for the boundaries of states, which I'm pretty sure were not created to give any party an advantage (even if they ended up as such, but these are just changes in the electorate).
