Those founding fathers were radical mofos but they covered alot of inequities and compromised the big/small state thing pretty well.
It's too bad the concept isn't taught in high school civics courses any more so people aren't such dumbfucks about the whole rationale behind the electoral college.
It's an outdated model that the Founders themselves changed multiple times. It wasn't some grand design.
We (?) live in a republic.

Which is why we elect people to represent us...like a president. The US being a republic has nothing to do with the system we use for elections. Christ.PurpleThrobber said:

Although, given the power the president has, if we want to maintain a republican form of government, perhaps he should not be elected directly by the people?UWhuskytskeet said:

As I said in another thread, electing the president via electoral college is not much different than a parliament electing a PM. It is not necessarily better to move towards an election by popular vote. -
We let women AND natives vote now? Fuck me.Swaye said:Haven't read that yet, but I assume Trump won because Hillary is such a fucking terrible candidate. This time yesterday I was getting to the polling place to vote, and I voted for Trump, but I more voted against Hillary than for Trump. Hell I voted for Rubio in the primary. I'm a dumbshit. Good thing I finally got to be a winner at the end. Anyway, I am still not a fan of Trump (hope he makes me a fan over the 4 years), and while he is kind of buffoonish, Hillary is a fucking criminal enterprise and has been for 30 years. How Democrats could not see what an absolute disaster she was is amazing.

I woke up the day I voted.
And I contemplated voting Hillary.
Couldn't do it.
The SCOTUS is too important.
And I am sick of voting for fuckers who continue to fuck things up.
