The Sanctitiy of the Electoral College is Still Under Attack!
The lefties focus on the EC just like they do the filibuster. They hate it until they need it!
I had gotten into a heated discussion with a Canadian on a social media platform regarding the Electoral College election system in our country. He was of the idea that the popular vote should win…or in Canada speak, mob rule. Now, in his defense he said he was really trying to understand our system, and asked why flyover country in the USA should have more say in our elections than NY, Cali or any other heavily populated state. As several others joined in, it became quite clear that their opinion of the EC is negative merely because it works counter to the democrat wishes of winning. Simply put, it hurts them because it levels the playing field. And democrats hate level playing fields, especially when they can’t win based on ideas or policy.
Democrats always bitch about the rules and laws that have served us well for hundreds of years because those rules and laws do exactly what the Founders intended. In the case of the Electoral College, the idea was to avoid the mob rule scenario of going with the popular vote, as they do in a democracy. In a Constitutional Republic, you can’t allow the most liberal and highly populated states of Cali and NY to force the other 48 states to live under their liberal ideals just because you won the popular vote. And every election cycle, democrats scream about how their candidate won the popular vote but didn’t get enough EC votes to win. Our Founding Fathers were trully brilliant and knew exactly what they were doing!
After the 2016 election, the Electoral College came under heavy attack for this very reason, and the far left continues attacking it to this day. They want to do away with it completely and just go with the popular vote, which is a great idea for politicians who are dealing with a society that has been dumbed down politically by our education system. Ask most young adults to give the first three words of the preamble to the Constitution, and they’ll ask you what the Constitution is.
But attitudes are changing. People are really starting to see what the new democrat party is all about. To put it bluntly, communism is not what JFK had in mind when he said “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Now, many life long democrats don’t like being affiliated with a party that looks more like the Soviet Pulitburo of the 1950s and 60s. Many dont want to be affiliate with a party that condoned the violence that was suffered in the summer of 2020. They also didn’t vote for record levels of deliberate inflation and are just as tired of the COVID bullshit as anyone else. Don’t believe me…look at their poll numbers. It’s these things, among others that have democrats either switching parties or voting Republican. Because of this, the Electoral College will eventually make more sense to democrats, because the popular vote is going to disappear for them soon. For now, democrat hatred for the Electoral College is on par for their hatred of the filibuster. But eventually they will need them both.
