Have you ever noticed it is almost universally the leftists who float this idea and support it?
If it were the other way around they would be singing how ingenious this system is...indeed, that’s exactly what they were saying in 2000 when suggesting Bush might win the popular vote but lose the election - I remember hearing Gore say that personally when asked what he thought about winning the election but losing the popular vote (which, in reality, doesn’t exist in any official capacity).
Of course.
Ben Franklin — in my opinion the great genius of the founders — actually anticipated this when he gave his famous answer "A Republic madam, if you can keep it."
A Republic, with multiple "laboratories of democracy," is anathema to liberals who want to control the search for truth because they don't trust that truth will suit their designs.
You can see it in our present political life. Which political party lives on lies, and which party fears them?
Which party elevates its best liars to high office, and which one isolates them and curtails their power?
