Just some history for you.

Hillary Clinton made an argument for dissolving the Electoral College in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night.

"I think it needs to be eliminated. I'd like to see us move beyond it, yes," Clinton said.

Clinton made the assertion while discussing her book, "What Happened," which recounts the turbulent 2016 US presidential election. Clinton lost the Electoral College to Donald Trump, who pulled in 306 votes to Clinton's 236 last November.

The Electoral College has 538 members who select the US president based on the popular vote in every state, as opposed to the national popular-vote tally, which is why a candidate who loses the popular vote can still win an election.

Clinton won the popular vote by nearly three million ballots, an achievement her supporters have frequently called up in protests during the first half-year of Trump's presidency. Clinton herself has touted it — most recently when she promoted the news website, Verrit, an outlet that calls itself "Media for the 65.8 million," a tagline that references Clinton's popular vote total.

The former Democratic candidate is not the first to suggest the Electoral College should be abolished. Al Gore, who won the popular vote in 2000, but still lost the election to George W. Bush, continued to support the current system, until Trump won in 2016.

Because some racist white men know more about what we want than we do? You think we don't know what a democracy would do? Only you and your racist filth know what is best for us?

One person, one vote. Its not that way because racist white men would never win. None of your excuses will change that fact.

Why the Electoral college

by Marc Schulman
The Electoral College was created for two reasons. The first purpose was to create a buffer between population and the selection of a President. The second as part of the structure of the government that gave extra power to the smaller states.
The first reason that the founders created the Electoral College is hard to understand today. The founding fathers were afraid of direct election to the Presidency. They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power. Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers:
It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations. It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief.
(See All of the Federalist 68)



its called history

No the subject matter is you telling me/us that we are too stupid to know what a democracy will do to us. And you only know the truth because your racist ancestors taught you want's best for us.

One person, one vote........that's the only way to truly have a democracy where the American people pick their leaders.
