  The electoral college has always been a danger to the people. It wasn't set up for the people. It was set up for the plutocrats. 
  America is a plutocracy and it's weird people are just now looking into that.
context: Meanwhile Republican states are changing rules to be more like the electoral college, requiring a majority of counties or districts to pass ballot measures instead of a majority of people. >
  
  It's been a danger since 1824 when John Quincy Adams beat Andrew Jackson despite losing the popular vote.
  And especially recently. A republican president hasn't won the popular vote since 2004. >
  
  It's always been a danger to democracy.
  It was invented to disenfranchise the people.
  So rich assholes have all the power.  Just like all other times in history.  You're either connected or you are fucked. >
  
  Making sure the president has both sufficient popular support to govern and that his popular support is sufficiently distributed throughout the country to enable him to govern effectively: is fascism conceived by the framers of the constitution to fix the problems of other election methods. But actually was meant to disenfranchise modern day democrats. Big. Brain. Moves.
