"A constitutional republic is a form of government, where the head of state and other representatives are elected from a group of people."
No it's not
the EC is perfectly fine
notice the "group of people"
Which is what the EC is
as any elector can change their stance
which in a democracy they can't
Which is fine by me tbh
Obviously trump supporters are going to like the EC since it lets them win even if they are the minority lol
Not really
it's more of the fact that it's not a pure democracy
and the founding fathers created it
with good thoughts
If we change the way the president is elected, will there be chaos?
I guarentee you would say the same if Trump won the pop vote but lost
Will the country collapse?
Thats not the point
thats not how you justify removing something like the EC
The point is the EC prevents a democracy
which is true and good
The point of the EC is to prevent someone who is unqualified from becoming elected obviously that failed considering who won in 2016
Not really
Trump is damn qualified
As we've seen through his track record since Jan 2017
he did more than Obama could in 8 years
If we change the way the president is elected, we won't be a pure democracy
A pure democracy is when citizens vote on every law
We'd be a democracy
No'
And we wouldn't be a constitional republic
We would be a federal republic
The whole point is to be a constitutional republic
abolishing the EC stops that
The electors vote for what the population votes for
Lol
Nope
That makes 0 sense
they don't have to
They do
Whats so hard to understand
No they don't
