The electoral college takes away the right of the American people to choose their president by placing it in a arcane system that has chosen the loser of the popular vote twice in the last 20 years.

We are not a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Federal Republic. The Electoral College ensures that heavily populated states do not override the will of the less populated states. You would feel differently about the popular vote if you lives in those less populated states.

A Constitutional Federal Republic is a form of democracy. Saying that it isn't is like saying a sub isn't a sandwich.

That's false. In a democracy, whatever on earth the people vote for happens. They vote to send Jews to gas chambers or political opposition to gulags, it happens. In a Constitutional Federal Republic, sovereign and independent states rule their own affairs and can nullify any unconstitutional or abusive federal legislation. The federal government only has carefully enumerated and listed powers that the States delegated to it, and if the people vote for it to assume undelegated powers, screw how they voted. In a Constitutional Federal Republic, liberty is protected. In a democracy, the mob quickly swallows it up. The reason America is dying is because we have become far too democratic. We need more order, aristocracy, federalism, in our politics.
