Illogic. It haunts me.

Taken from feminist.

Our current voting system should be illegal because the people should be democratically voting for their president. The president should be decided by the popular vote.

While I completely agree that our current system is fucked up, I certainly do not agree that "our system that doesn't use a popular vote should be discarded because we should use the popular vote". That doesn't make any sense. (It also doesn't explain why we should use the popular vote in elections, which would be nice)

Edit: I give up. It's no use expecting logic from somebody who thinks that it's a feminist issue because she herself posted it in a feminist forum. Wha-?

The reasons for abolishing the electoral collage are the same reasons for abolishing, or at least reforming, the Senate. Therefore, it is unlikely to happen.

Well, how the hell could it be "illegal" ?! In general, the constitution, is, by definition, constitutional.
"should be illegal"...

She didn't say it IS unconstitutional, merely that it SHOULD BE. I see no contradiction there.
