Again, it is typical of the misunderstanding of “a nation” that the Left employs to denigrate the institutions that try to help keep us a federal constitutional republic.
Their tool is to employ various forms of some majority of the national “popular vote” as a stand in for “the nation”. It is not and never can be a stand in for the nation.
A nation is not merely an accounting of the numbers of people within it.
A nation is the villages, towns, cities, counties and states within it - the places people live and have most of their life cast within - not merely it’s “national” popular vote.
Both the electoral college and the senate help to hold the nation together, help prevent it from splitting apart, by preventing clear majorities of the places in the country from being overwhelmed by a tyranny of any mere majority “popular vote”.
It is an error manufactured by the left, out of its hatred for the nation that we are, that it bemoans the inability to impose mass universal agreement on any and every possible policy, nationwide, with states, and even their counties, cities, towns and villages NOT beholden to rules from Washington D.C. for everything.
When they bemoan that not enough can be accomplished, as a nation, what they really mean is not enough of their agenda. For the sheeple though, using the Left’s handmaiden, the media, that issue is always written as if the things the Left cannot get done are necessities the nation cannot do without.
It’s all a lie.
Their goal is power and control.
They will destroy any and every American institution and tradition go gain both.
