He's out front, outright, pandering to his base on exactly what so many demo-socialists have been wanting since 2016. other candidates have been jumping on board, but keep in mind, he is leading the way by discussing issues like this and his opponents are being forced to jump on-board and form opinions. Pete is controlling the narrative.
Removing the electoral college sounds so great to so many. I know it's been misused since before I was born, by lobbyists, but removing the electoral college puts far too much control into the hands of a few major cities which will have their votes pre-counted before election day and the states would ignore smaller towns that take longer to count. not to mention how easily perception management tactics have shown that far too many Americans are uninformed voters, out number informed voters, and they base their choice of who they will vote for from some soundbite that comedy central will recycle.
All very true, however, I truly believe with all that is about to go down, (supposedly), this political BS game will be exposed. We will Never be so complacent again!
