There was a sudden about face this year from republicans for, oh, let's say "unknown reasons". A sudden hypocritical turn, it seems.
Hypocrisy and it's variants is your variant word, isn't it?
Of-fucking-course it rose. Left support for it dwindled sharply because you lost! Underestimate my white vote.
And we all know the major support base for its repeal is Democrat.
There has been a slight uptick in democratic support for abolition. That tends to happen when people see something fundamentally unfair happen.
However, your original claim is false:
I find it quite hilarious that only Democrats and leftists want to abolish the Electoral College.
Republicans used to support it as well. Until this year. Dramatically. For "unknown reasons". SAD!
You're trying to project that hypocrisy on to us - but we've supported abolition for years. SAD!
