Democracy is for the States, not the Republic. They need to start teaching civics instead of gender studies i school again.

This is the kind of thing Snopes does. They will change the argument to suit the conclusion they want.

This is stupid because the opportunity to nominate anyone is random.

I am guessing Jon has not read the Constitution.

They really don't understand the Constitution. If they did, they would not complain about the electoral college. Anyone who wants to abolish the EC is a brainwashed imbecile and should forfeit their right to vote, because they are stupid. Ok maybe not the last part, but whatever.

The scary thing is that, not only do they not understand it, but they don’t respect it and see it as a hurdle in enact their will on everyone in “flyover” country.

These are the same people who want to change law through the courts because they cannot win enough votes to do it the way the Constitution intended.

LOL...sure hope they don't have expectations of Biden winning the popular vote

Four of the five conservative justices on the Supreme Court were appointed by presidents who LOST the popular vote.

God-willing soon to be five out of six. Thank God for the electoral college. Now if only some of those "conservative" justices would consistently make conservative decisions, that'd be great.

Omg I’ve seen people whine about this too. They don’t understand the true purpose of the electoral college.

Guess this ass hat can't read the Constitution. He spends all his time talking about it and ripping it, maybe he should spend and afternoon and actually read it. The language is clear. Appoint, confirm, game.

If the presidential election was decided on the popular vote, campaigns would use different strategies than they do to win the electoral college.

People forget it's called the United States of America, not the United People of America. We have the system we do for a reason, to make sure each state is being represented as a whole. The state.

Yes Jon, because a democracy would be your 2000 square miles of people controlling the people who live in the rest of the 3.7 million square miles.

The states have democracy. Those states are federated. Pretty simple.
