True. But remember – until 1913 they were to be APPOINTED by the states, not voted upon by the populous at large. That is just over half the time our country has existed since the Bill of Rights was ratified on Dec 15, 1791.
ps … in your list of things that “tanked the economy”, I note your failed to mention the fuel ‘crisis’ brought on by Biden closing down the Keystone XL pipeline Project – which, along with other anti-fuel stances, effectively took us from being energy independent and a net SUPPLIER of oil – to a very DEPENDENT nation in under 3 years. Blame THAT on Trump.
I would think the first thing to do here is to agree on terms. To me, ‘cancel culture’ is NOT reducing the size of a bloated bureaucracy because of their politics – but because their job is just fluff. Not to THEM, maybe, but to the Federal Budget, very much so. Especially when it has been demonstrated that they can’t DO that job. The left’s take on ‘cancel culture’ has been, “I don’t like what you say, so I’m going to cancel your livelihood, your program, your podcast, your VOICE.” Let’s discuss terminology first, THEN move on to the (de)merits of your other points.
Boy, are you going to be surprised (and embarrassed) when the canceling and censorship STOPS under DT, the economy and employment get back on track, prices drop, and America becomes energy self-sufficient once again. And I did check – it IS ‘embarrassed’ not ‘himBAREassed’, thought that might fit as well.
Really? From the secure https site thru www`archives`gov/electoral-college/history === "The Founding Fathers established the Electoral College in the Constitution, in part, as a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. However, the term ‘electoral college’ does not appear in the Constitution. Article II of the Constitution and the 12th Amendment refer to ‘electors,’ but not to the ‘electoral college.’
“Since the Electoral College process is part of the original design of the U.S. Constitution it would be necessary to pass a Constitutional amendment to change this system.”
When the ‘popular vote’ of Cali, New York City and Chicago pretty much outweigh the rest of the country, then it’s a situation that needs to be addressed. Fortunately for America, Trump appears to have won both the Electoral College AND the popular vote this time around.
