“Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Enact laws guaranteeing the presidency to whomever receives the most popular votes in all 50 states.”


Hey, dopey, laws alone won’t do that - you have to amend the Constitution in order to do that.

Oh, and BTW, we do NOT want a pure democracy - then 50% +1 voters can legally enslave the other 50% - 1 voters, or do anything else that they want. The Founders gave us an Electoral College for the same reason that they gave us 2 Senators for each state in Congress - to preserve the rights of the smaller states vs. the bigger ones. In fact, Electoral College representation is EXACTLY tied to the number of Representatives + the number of Senators. Let’s NOT change that, you idiot. Otherwise, states like CA, NY and IL will decide most elections, not the entire country.

Why is she saying "the most popular votes in all 50 states"?

Why is she disfranchising the voters in the District of Columbia? Is it because Washington, DC, is 51% black?

Must be racism.
