This would require for the American left to put aside some of it's own infighting for a while and organize together. And it would have to be bipartisan as well, which means the Left coming to terms with some of its own hypocrisies and shortcomings. There are some people on the right, who believe in the objectives of social justice, but who simply believe it can be better achieved through less government interference. You or I might disagree with that, but that doesn't make them bad people. These people will have to be included in that discussion for anything to change on the Electoral College system.
I don't see how an election this close, in popular vote, can be called within 24 hours of election day's deadline. In WA state we can now track our ballots online. Rather than trusting the Post Office, I put my ballot, signed and sealed, in the ballot box at my county's administrative building, on Monday morning, and it still has not been counted, as of Wednesday morning. Despite Clinton winning here, I'm pissed off about that, and, yeah, let's get rid of the Electoral Collage!
The people that voted for Trump ARE the one's who are suffering. That's why this is being called "the forgotten man election". Forgotten by Obama, Clinton and self-absorbed-tweet-happy celebs.
Folks, lets get a grip of reality for a moment. There won't be a massive voter's regret. The delegates will not vote against their constituints. He will not be assassinated. He won't be imprisonated. Nobody will try an impeachment. There won't be a secession. There won't be massive protests, nor a coup nor a proletarian dictatorship takeover. The left will not florish over the disapointment with the democratic party and take the Congress in 2018. If he won the election by democrat indifference, white supremacism support, the rise of the alt-right, repression of black citizens and the many other factors we have bring up in this discussions, all of those factors will allow him to rule uncontested. He have the House, the Senate, 4 justices to appoint, and ~50% of the population; he will not disappear. Anyone who believes he will is just as wrong as people who thought he would lose votes for not rejecting the KKK support.
He still stands by that statement btw....was that supposed to interject some new spark into this thread? I don't understand the relevance.
That's not true at all. Democracies are not mob ruled, they are subjected to a constitution.
Almost all countries in the world have constitutions, whether they are republics, democratic, both or neither. Brazil is a constitutional democratic republic: the majority choose the leaders (we are democratic), ruling is not hereditary and we have a Constitution.
