Voters Around The World Are Mad As Hell | 538 Politics Podcast 

There is no feasibility of replacing the electoral college for the same reason. One party thinks they benefit from it and if the other party starts to benefit from it the opinions will trade.

You would need a supermajority in the congress to replace the electoral college which would make it difficult even if there were bipartisan support for it

I agree! We need rank choice voting and a direct popular vote

The issue there, in my opinion, is that those experts are disproportionately powerful and intersect with groups who, frankly, don't need any more power in society. In my city, the police department was thinking of only hiring people who had university education, but, so I hear, for systemic reasons, they found that not enough indigenous people have university degrees to allow for representation, which would result in indigenous people being policed by largely non-indigenous officers. Contrary to how you say it, not only do experts not always know "how things should be run", there often isn't some objective best way for things to be run. In reality, society is a massive discussion and compromise of interests, and if primarily rich, white, urbanites who make up most "experts" are allowed a monopoly on political power, then poor people, POC, and rural people are left subject to the will of powerful, oppressive systems. Just because people are smart, doesn't mean they're good, or care about those with less than they have. Moreover, a lot of experts frankly aren't that expert. If we listened to economists 20 years ago, we'd hear that minimum wages were always bad. Listen now and they're good. I come for an economics background, but to be honest, a lot of economics is more guess work than economists let on. That is to say, doctors who their shit. Economists don't, they're still figuring it out. Moreover, how we define experts is highly problematic. Published research is not reliable for being accurate in many purportedly scientific fields (citation: Why Most Published Research Findings Are False (2005, PLOS Medicine)). As a result, it's questionable if "experts" are as expert as they claim.

Trump.

If I had my way, someone else, but the American political system ensures there are no other choices.

Trump 24!

After looking at Project 2025 - Biden

Yeah, I don't think they are going to shut down polls over your comment 😂😂

@@gikigill788 That's okay. They'll still be useless and I'll still tell them so.
