. The United States is a republic governed by states. That’s why a popular vote is an incredibly stupid idea as it conflicts with our form of government.

No. You vote for your state stuff and you vote for your federal government, these are separate things and the votes should be counted equally, equality is a necessity to a good version of democracy.

I like how you act like you really believe these things and that they make sense.

How many ammendments to the Constitution are there, and why?

Do you prefer voting for somebody that promises to do what a large diverse group of people want or voting on issues directly?

The framing of that article that the writers of the Constitution established some genius system in the Electoral College is a fantasy at odds with the historical reality. The Electoral College was born of compromise and a simple lack of technology to conduct a national popular vote. The writers themselves saw it as barely justifiable even when they wrote it, and it’s certainly completely unjustifiable today. The only people still fighting for it are those who want to impose tyranny even when they can’t win the majority of the vote.
