The Electoral College Still Makes Sense Because We’re Not A Democracy

What appears to deprive the populace of its power to decide a president is the very mechanism that preserves its power. The Electoral College works that way because the United States isn’t a pure democracy.

My degree is in Political Science, I've worked in politics, I understand why we need the Electoral College. It is absolute lunacy to suggest getting rid of it. This author wrote four books about the EC. She should be listened to.

Barbra Streisand Rips Female Trump Voters | American Update

She is not happy......

As a professional woman, I think for myself and am not influenced by my husband's voting preferences. I was a Trump supporter way before my husband was, and pointed out to many friends how biased the media is. Read Trumponomics to get a perspective on who President Trump is as a human being and how intelligent he is. We live in America. We vote. We accept elections. I was not an Obama supporter but I never disrespected him or his administration. The hatred is out of line in this country.

"House Popular Vote" -- Democrats' Prepare to Accuse Republicans of Minority Rule | National Review

There’s no such thing — in the American system — as a “House popular vote.”

This idea of a House elected by popular vote, just like the idea of dismantling the electoral college, or electing a proportional Senate, ALL idea gaining popularity among nutty progressives (meaning: progressives), is yet more proof that the left doesn't understand the beauty of our complex system, and that they are willing to dismantle our entire Constitutional structure merely to gain and hold power. So you have two choices, they are ignorant, they are evil, or they are both.

Black Hats and White Hats

With elections upon us, a return to the Evil-Man Theory of Everything. American governance is complex – even its subcomponents are so complex that the well-meaning people who are handsomely paid to manage them throw up their hands in despair, e.g. IRS agents who freely admit that there are too many changes in the tax code – an average of more than one per day – for them to keep up with.

This is interesting. I think though that the "black hat" approach to politics has become the norm and is no longer just a feature of campaign season. However, the degree to which is is employed during the election cycle is probably more extreme that it has been in the recent past.
