RE: DIVIDED WE FALL - OUR FAILURE AS CITIZENS, AS MANIFESTED BY THE ELECTION - PLUS A FEW THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER AS WE MOVE FORWARD FROM HERE
Actually this is because our republic has a wieghted d system where each state puts forth electorate representatives. This gives rural areas an equal voice in the selection. But that is back when it was not rigged. I think we have not had a legitimate election for quite some time
Anything to maintain the illusion of democracy
the population of South Dakota is 750000. so without the electoral college we would not have any say a all in the presidential election. that is why the founding fathers wrote it into the constitution. one more point, this is a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy. as Ben franklin pointed out a democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
Understood. Funny that in the news we always hear North Americans talking about their wonderful democracy and how they want to spread it all over the Muslim World. Reminiscent of the slogan 'Make the World England' from my own country's despicable past
Yes it is part of the programming that most people here believe that's why the. Sudden outcry. . I myself am philosophically an anarchist. I still vote on issues and try to exercise my voice locally. I think the current fiasco is a play to install a police state in America because too many of us are waking up to the system of control that is manipulating us. That doctrine of spreading democracy you speak of can be found in the Project for A New American Century. This document was signed by both parties in the 90s and continues to be the roadmap for the empire builders. But we are just the machine carrying out the agenda of those in the shadows. Many from your neck of the world .
Thanks for the conversation! I love STEEMIT ! Connecting the world!
