The Democratic party helped every other down trodden group in America except those in need in middle America
Voter ignorance spurred on/exploited by unscrupulous politicians is why there are only 2 choices- the EC has nothing to do with it outside of representative voting, which is the foundation of our republic and was determined by people a lot smarter than anyone I've met in my 72 years on this earth, to be the best alternative vs a democracy, which is what those clamoring for doing away with desire- have you ever noticed the politicians and talking heads and print reporters always call us a democracy? Why do you think that is? We're a representative republic- I believe it is an intentional tool trying to desensitize the not too bright and actually create a democracy which is no more than mob rule- Individual rights take enough of a beating from our current situation- to make us a true democracy you van kiss your individual rights good bye- they will be restricted into non existence- sooner rather than later-That keeps the Duopoly in place and ensures that no 3P will ever be viable.
a sample:
The Electoral College was created for two reasons. The first purpose was to create a buffer between the population and the selection of a President. The second as part of the structure of the government that gave extra power to the smaller states.
The first reason that the founders created the Electoral College is hard to understand today. The founding fathers were afraid of direct election to the Presidency. They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power. Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers:
It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations. It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief.
Why the Electoral College
Today? It's no different than yesterday and all the excuses in the world won't change that- yes, EVERY POTUS has over reached his authority- which brings us full circle, doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is crazy- left, right, left, right, left, right- and make no mistake, democracy will be no different in that regard- the same destination just a different rate of descent- hitting a brick wall at 100mph will kill you as easily as hitting it at 110mph- your political affiliation won't mean a thing- so, people ask; what can we do? My response is live your life to the best of your ability, beat them at their own game and leave your space a little better than you found it- Individual effort creates the Greater Good, naturally- it will not be legislated or mandated- simply because rules can and will be broken- see the ass clowns in the District of Criminals for evidence-
The Electoral College was created for two reasons. The first purpose was to create a buffer between the population and the selection of a President. The second as part of the structure of the government that gave extra power to the smaller states.
Would you please explain Trump supporters so I understand them.Then you clearly don't know or understand Trump supporters at all you are simply repeating the media driven narrative put out about them.I am saying the Democrats support those in need; inner city, immigrants, minorities etc. But the Trump supporters are as in need as the groups the Democrats support. They need to help them also,So your insulting Trump supporters while saying at the same time we must not insult them and laugh at them. I have no doubt the Trump supporters see the major flaw here I doubt you do.
I think the Trump supporters do not like to admit they are in the same situation as the inner city and immigrant communities.
Could you please unbrainwash me? Tell me where my statement is off base and what I should know that the media is not providing.The Democratic party helped every other down trodden group in America except those in need in middle America

People, people, people, come down to earth with the rest of us. Trump’s success is his ability to lie and cheat; regardless of who he harms in the process.
The American public took these lies in hook, line and sinker believing he was the savior who would save us all.
Now that the public is beginning to realize Trump is nothing more than a pathological lying cheat his days in the White House are quickly coming to an end.
Good riddance to the stinking rubbish

And? If you continue on the same path, chances are really good that you'll remain on the same path- so don't complain when the path gets rocky, or uphill, or leads downhill faster than you like- the destination will remain unchanged, even slightly.That's all very well but when the strongarming of the System pushes each and every one of them to the shadows and voters are faced with the stark reality that one side of the entrenched Duopoly or the other is going to get ALL of the votes of their state due to that stinking system, a vote for any of these fake alternatives amounts to a futile protest with all the resounding impact of the proverbial tree that falls in the forest with no one there to hear it.
Everyone knows their names ---- Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Evan McMullin, Ralph Nader, etc etc. How many electoral votes did any of them get? One fewer than Faith Spotted Eagle.
Anti-Trumpsters need to try and understand Trump supporters; especially the Democratic party.
Anti-Trumpsters tend to see Trump supporters a under educated, under employed jokes who believe all of Trump's lies because they are too lazy to gain the skills required by a 21st century economy.
The Democratic party ignored a large swath of middle America. Many of these people lost their job because their skills no longer are in demand in the 21st century.
The Democratic party gave much attention to people in the inner city who are under-educated and under-employed. The Democratic party gave much attention to immigrants, both legal and illegal, who are under-educated and under-employed.
That opened the door for Trump to come in and take advantage of the ignored group in middle America. No one else was giving them attention. They were ripe to be conned and they have been conned by the best.
The Democratic party must come up with real solutions for the ignored group in middle America. They need to try and understand them and not just laugh at them.
