Most in the US are already pretty tired of it. I don't expect it to last another 50 years, but good luck trying to change it now. It still requires a constitutional amendment, and right now, we're fighting with a party that has half the votes and wants to drag us into a corporatocracy.

Let's solve that fucking problem first before we move on to constitutional amendments!

Half the electoral votes. The last 2 times they won the popular vote was 2004 and 1984.
