This 'Moderate' Democrat Is Also on Board With Abolishing the Electoral College

Town Hall ^ | 17 August 2026 | Amy Curtis

There are no "moderate" Democrats these days.

Well, no, that's not fair. John Fetterman is the last moderate and sane Democrat, and rumors keep floating that Fetterman might distance himself from the crazies in his party. But the rest of the Democrats are a lost cause. Supposed moderate Democrat Andy Beshear is the latest to call for the abolition of the Electoral College

"So a 'Fix the Darn Government' Constitutional amendment, it is time," Beshear said. "It should outlaw partisan redistricting and enshrine part of the Voting Rights Act right there in the Constitution. It should create term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court. No more gaming those appointments. It should also overturn Citizens United and I think call for direct elections of the President and Vice President."

That's an abolition of the Electoral College, but Beshear doesn't say that explicitly because it would be terribly unpopular in his home state of Kentucky.

"That could actually make things work," he continued, "a big idea that would, yes, change government but in a way enshrine in the Constitution where people know it's going to get better."

What he means by "get better" is "my party is the only one that wins elections."

"Yeah, I've said it a number of times," Beshear replied. "And it's because in Kentucky, we will never see a candidate for President or Vice President unless they're from here. Why? Because people just expect that it'll go one way or another. It's the idea that someone would get elected not just knowing about seven states but having to earn votes all over the United States. I certainly think it's time."

Huh? Without the Electoral College Kentucky is irrelevant.

I’m not really interested in what you think of the electoral college. If there’s any attempt to change it, we’re done. Finished. You’ve dissolved the union, because that was the foundation of it. So if you want to start and lose another, Civil War, you democrats can go for it. I

A moderate Democrat is akin to a moderate Muslim. Bad neighbor.

[cyclotic]

And there’s absolutely no such thing as a Christian Democrat. Those two things are mutually incompatible.

Lead in 15 million more illegals and they will win every time. Especially without voter ID. If Democrats win, it’s a safe bet they would do all those things in addition to changing our courts to where they control that branch of government too.

The governor’s son has never had to work for anything in his life. If not for his daddy being governor of Kentucky, we would never heard of this clown.

[Gnome1949]

A “moderate Democrat” is like a moderate rattlesnake.

[Gay State Conservative]

It will require a constitutional amendment. Thirty eight state legislatures.

[Carl Vehse]

"There are no "moderate" Democrats these days.",

There are only lying, perverted, murdering, traitorous Demonicrats.

[Tom Tetroxide]

He’d fit right in with the moderate beheaders!

[Vaduz]

Yes with a lot more poison.

[Da Coyote]

They really do want a civil war. Keep it up, Dorkbamaholes. Why don’t they realize that all that they have to do is move to a Muslim country and they can get - pre installed - all the third world crap, intolerance, and misery that they thoroughly deserve? And they can get it without aggravating those of us who actually contribute to society?

[butlerweave]

This would only work if they have millions of Illegals/noncitizens voting for them

[pawpawrick]

The myth of the moderate democrat was dispelled with the Obamacare vote.

[Bernard]

Some people just don’t get the whole idea of “a perfect union”. Andy seems to be one of them.

[antidemoncrat]

Kentucky and all the Red States?

[Hyman Roth]

And there’s absolutely no such thing as a Christian Democrat.

What about Talarico in TX? /s

[chopperk]

Without the college dems have a small chance of winning a few seats. They are very unscrupulous and will jack the system for a few votes because they cannot will any other way. They don’t mind destroying America so voters in large cities can control the Country. What a devious tangled web they weave.
