From CNN, “A federal appeals court has found it was unconstitutional for Colorado to block an elector from voting for a candidate other than the winner of the state’s popular vote in 2016, which was Hillary Clinton, in a ruling that likely tees up more major court action about the Electoral College in advance of the 2020 presidential election.” If American morons haven’t figured it out yet, then allow me to make things clear: America is not a democracy. It is the illusion of democracy. It is the illusion of a representative republic. Since the nation’s inception, it has always been intended to be a government elected by and for white privileged (i.e., landed) men. Every change since then has been a failed and feckless attempt to overcome this original ideal. The Electoral College is the perfect embodiment of such archaic vestiges from 18th-century beliefs. The Electoral College has remained relatively unchanged and mostly unchallenged for hundreds of years even though it allows the minority of voters to elect the most powerful man on the planet, quite literally subverting the will of the majority. Makes complete and total sense. Of course, the original intent of the Electoral College was to override the popular vote just in case the “masses” picked the wrong person, but in modern-day practice it has insulated bad choices by the minority from being reversed. That is to say when the popular vote elects one person then the Electoral College ensures the minority’s pick is preserved. Welcome to stupid America! It’s all an illusion; it always has been!
