The Electoral College lessens the chance of voting fraud affecting the outcome of a national vote

[Video] Victor Davis Hanson By Victor Davis Hanson -- Tribune Media Services

Democrats are waging war against traditions and the Constitution.

Several of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates favored the abolishment of the Electoral College. Or, as once-confident candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren put it, “I plan to be the last American president to be elected by the Electoral College.”

Furor over the Electoral College among the left arose from the 2000 and 2016 elections. Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, respectively, won the popular votes. But, like three earlier presidents, they lost the Electoral College voting — and with it the presidency.

Freedom, liberty and Western Civilization itself are under attack by Democrats.

“Freedom, liberty and Western Civilization itself are under attack by Democrats.”

So very true.

Yes... And they have been since the whole “popular election of Senators” thing over a hundred years ago...

"Why do two Wyoming senators each represent about 290,000 voters while each California senator represents 20 million?"

Uh...

...if you have to ask, you're part of the problem.

"there is an ongoing effort to dream up ways to create more, and apparently liberal, senators — to change the rules rather than the hearts and minds of the voters.

Never forget the immortal words of Theodore Roosevelt...

"If you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."

...And that's exactly what the Democrats have in mind for the American people.

The Democrats are the vassals of powerful overlords. Don't forget this:

"The left is apparently afraid of a second Donald Trump presidential term that might allow him four or five Supreme Court picks over eight years in office. The effect of such appointments could be mitigated by expanding the court to 12 or more justices, along with altering the rules for selecting them."

Yet another reason for massive voter fraud to sabotage the election. Trump has a talent for beating them at their own game.

No shit, for like the past 60 years or more. It's slowly coming to a head though.

“If you’ve got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.”
____________________________________________

Today’s would-be totalitarians are doing all they can to remove all male gonads, everywhere.

It has served to create a good portion of healthy young males who will not even allow them to get that close.

They’ve emasculated their own base while attempting to clamp down on the rest of the population.

The progs are totally schizoid and, because of that, they try to have everything both ways, at once.

Teddy was correct within his own time-frame. Today, the progs have a problem. And it is themselves.

Since the Jacobin era in 18th Century France, the Left has been engaged in a compulsion drive war on reality. It is impossible to understand the full picture without that realization.
