Lets get rid of primary elections when electing our president

[Angrboda]

You haven't presented any "idea at hand."  All you've basically said is that you believe that something other than individual interest should determine representation because you believe that.  You haven't given any real identification of what that something is, nor why you feel it should justify a different apportionment of representation than that dictated by individual interest.  You haven't explained dick, and I find the accusation that I'm spouting empty rhetoric to be ironic in the extreme.  You haven't justified your opinion by anything other than merely reasserting it.

There may be justifications for the electoral college, but so far you haven't presented any of them.  Either you do have such a justification in mind and are simply doing a shit job of representing it, or you yourself are engaging in empty rhetoric.  So stop with the ad hominem bullshit and get on with the argument, if you have one.

Your not giving me anything else to work with... so I'm done here.   I presented my case.... even if you cannot see it.   I still maintain however, that if you can't understand the reasoning behind the electoral college, that you can't really argue against it.

I wasn't arguing against the electoral college, so your criticism is a straw man argument. I was arguing that you haven't presented a valid justification for preferring representation on some other basis than individual self interest. And you've pretty much conceded that you don't. You presented no case. But by all means, quit the field if you feel incompetent to adequately explain yourself.
