“I pledge elegance to the flag and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands”. Doesn’t seem too complicated.

Got it.

Paradoxically, if the electoral college were to disappear, we would not be heading toward a dictatorship—that *would be* a dictatorship.

I’m thinking we need to answer this question now. These states, and maybe NJ is one, have formed a cislition of states who are in opposition to the EC. Maybe Trump’s admin could ask the USSC if it is Constitutional. Granted they will likely ignore it but it my stop it now. Perhaps individuals in states that are in one have standing to sue,?

Then she also wants the Senate abolished. Smart woman. /s
Considering the electoral college is proportional based on population, where did she get the bs that NJ counts for one fifth compared to Wyoming?
Because the democrats have NJ in the bag, she’s really trying to disenfranchise Wyoming.

As I understand it, the popular compact is unconstitutional, because states cannot enter agreements with each other.

That filthy word “democracy” means a violent mob rule bullying anyone who is in a statistical minority on any issue.

It’s a terrible thing.

In the nonfiction memoir book and later the 1951 movie I Was A Communist For the FBI (about undercover agent Matt Cvetic working as an American Communist) one of the Commies said: “Be sure to use the word ‘democracy’ as often as possible. It helps to undermine resistance as we take over their country.” Was used by union agitators, school board members and various local leaders who were secretly Communist subversives. One scene showed a college protest with No Room For Fascists Here on placards.

Scrapping the electoal college IS democracy of centalized power.

Scrpping the electoral college is NOT a republic of representation.

So, 250 years of practice one east coast governor declares it null and void. Where are the men in New Jersey who should be running for Governor?

“Democracy” is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
