I Believe That the Electoral College Is An Antiquated Concept

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/the-electoral-college-was-explicitly-designed-to-protect-slavery/

Forget antiquated the damn thing is immoral and an injustice. It's whole purpose was to keep the slave owners in power. Slavery = Immoral. Therefore the Electoral college = Immoral.

The framers were not perfect and one thing I'm tired of is being expected to write of them and speak of them politically as if I find no fault in them.

It caused that. Donald Trump is now the president. The Framers were wrong.

@hiddeninahollowsound: it failed. the electors are supposed to step in when the populace are too stupid for their own good. but electors are so afraid of upsetting people that they follow the electoral votes.
