Classmate Critique

  I chose to critique my classmate Quintin Buxton's, "Don't be so hard on your big brother, he tries" in this editorial he asks a simple question that many of us have asked before, whether it be in class or elsewhere. Why is it that who we vote for doesn't necessarily win even if they have the majority? This very perplexing question is not even necessarily a theory, we have seen it happen on more than one occasion just as Mr. Buxton explains, the only thing I would have liked to see here is maybe going into some detail about these past debacles. 

      Overall I like the short and sweet style in which the editorial is written. While he is not over complicating things by adding big words or over explaining the system of the electoral college, I can't help but feel that there should be at least a small mention about the electoral college with that being the main issue here. This is most definitely a "Hot" topic that any one of us could be asking at any point; the truth is that "we" as the American people should know more about this process with the Electoral College and all of its intricacies. I agree with Mr. Buxton's argument that we most definitely deserve more answers regarding this issue and answers that actually give us valuable information to further expand our understanding of this complex system.
