  is fascism conceived by the framers of the constitution to fix the problems of other election methods.
  
  Not sure if you meant that as a question, or a statement.
  Either way, good catch. I agree the founders absolutely were fascists.
  I hadn't thought that way before due to the American "education" I received.
  Jews and Blacks suffered at the hands of Nazis and the founding fathers, respectively.  I guess if the Nazis had won WWII after using Jews as slave labor before liquidating them they'd probably see Germany as justified or at least seeing it as a different time, just like we see U.S. history nowadays.  Germany even based their eugenics on pre-existing American programs.
  Then there's the American genocides of indigenous people.  Yup, America is pretty damn fascist.
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. >
  
  And Bush lost the popular vote in 2000, he won in 2004 because of the “rally round the flag effect” of 9/11 and the Iraq and Afghan wars. >
  
  They’ve won it once (2004) since 1988. That’s 7 losses in 8 elections. Yet a Republican has still managed to hold the Oval Office for 12 of those 32 years. >
  
  We don’t elect presidents by popular vote. The sooner democrats stop beating that dead horse and broaden their appeal back to the working class all over the country the better off we will all be. They’d rather play silly diversity games while packing their donors pockets and openly mocking everyone who lives in an area with less than 50,000 people. >
  
  The point of this post is that it's a shame we don't elect by popular vote. 
  And wow, silly diversity games. They get elected by a variety of people, how is that bad? >
  
  They pin their hopes on certain groups to guarantee a win, while ignoring or throwing others under the bus.
  The middle class white worker was the base of the Dem party not that long ago.  Dems stopped campaigning and even blame them for every problem, and are shocked they vote for the other side. >
  
  The Democrats have decreased their focus on the white middle class and have largely diversified. I don't see what's wrong with that. They're not blaming the white middle class for anything. >
  
  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.
