The presidential election is not a national contest, and the most popular candidate doesn’t always win. Instead, a handful of swing voters in a handful of swing states decides for everyone
The popular vote movement is a ploy to destroy us. It is an attack on our form of government, a Republic, that any freedom loving individual can recognize.
They tryto turn us into a democracy, where majority rules, where 51 beats 49, it is where anything can be enacted by a simple vote, I.e., lock downs, masking, slavery, anything. That is why the dems allow us us to be overrun with untested, illegal forgieners (the dem party fights in court to give them voting rights).
This is an example of the Hate America crowd uses the media. A very muddled collection of false assumptions, substituting facts with false naritives, projected motovations, name calling, demeaning any who dissagree with your thimblerigging dialectic.
To wit,
We are a Democracy.
False, We are a Republic.
The Electoral College is unfair and only a popular vote is fair.
This does not explain why something is fair. This takes some enlightenment and a little history and English grammar.
"United States of America"
That is the name of this, our country.
What does that tell us?
Let's break it down.
"States" being the defined noun,
"United" an adjective defining the noun, and
"of America" a propsitional phrase, used as a modifier of the noun "States".
In otherwords the States united to form a "democratic republic". The states existed before the Union.
Independent States, with the required Republican form of government, each State having unique commerce and issues needing to be addressed and each having "equal" representation in the new government in the form of two (2) elected Senators (initially appointed prior to 17th Amendment and 2 Electors 12th Admendent). Hence the term "States Rights".
Each State had a fair and equal voice on the make up of the Federal government. The States represented the people who in turn selected by popular vote those to represent them in the Federal government.
To remove the Electoral College and go to a popular vote is contrary to everything this country was founded on, and fought over, it demeans its very name and is demeaning to all those live in and who died to make this country what it is, a place of opportunity. It is why the rest of the world wants to come here.
Don't keep trying to break that which is not broken.
Anthony Fox's view have a smidgin of merit. US democracy is subservient to a constitution designed to favour the rich and powerful. For me the huge power of the unevenly elected senate is a huge anti-democratic problem which does not seem to get much public attention .
