Especially if it conflicts repeatedly in the same direction.

When that direction is to thwart the will of cities like Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, LA, Chicago, and New York, I'm all for it. When those being disenfranchised are the leftists who think crimes against property should be de-emphasized and those who try to defend their property are liable for arrest for assault, I say good! If those being left behind are these cities where illegals are given up to $1,500 dollars per month while American citizens get zilch, then fuck 'em.

Eliminating the Electoral College would mean the candidates that pander to the far left would always win. If that is going to happen, let it happen after I'm dead and gone.
