(5,275 posts)Supposedly we have a one person one vote standard but the Electoral College blows that up.
Just think if we operated as a true Democracy no Dubya no Trump......hence no mob whipped up to storm the Capital. No Iraq War. Likely we would have mostly vanquished Covid.
The Electoral College has cost us dearly lately.
