Quote by: Chancellor  The Constitution sets forth how Presidents and Senators are elected
and it is not the popular vote.
Besides, most Americans are just too damned stupid to be
trusted with the vote (the founding fathers seemed to be
ahead of their time on that one). |
Oh, yes. A bunch of aristocratic slaveowners are so advanced beyond my judgment! What was I thinking?
Again, nothing you have said here is a good reason. There are innumerable things that conflict with the Constitution, including my personal view that all elections and politicians are fraudulent. But your argument would have the convenient effect of shutting me out of the discussion. That might be appropriate in fascist, self-congarulatory circles, but it's not appropriate for a reasoned discourse.
Now, I'm not one to make predictions, but I will say "letting the parties do whatever the hell they want" is a formula for stupidity and dictatorship. That's what authoritarians argue to maintain their systems of rule, and it happens all over the political spectrum.
Here's a question: Why vote for those who would make us leave power in their hands? That's a lousy deal if I've ever heard one.
