Whats in a name? A Democracy? Or a Constitutional Republic? PLEASE let’s start calling our form of Government what it actually is. Why? Well how do you change a thing? One way is to continually call it something it is not! I have noticed many seem to have come to hold the belief that we have a democracy and the majority rules! Which seems to be a part of the woke etc… and it also seems to fuel the removal of the electoral college in some states, which if I recall correctly was to prevent the majority from ruling over the minority . Seems our education system is doing it’s best to misrepresent our form of government? Their efforts SEEM to be paying off… perhaps it’s part of a plan of the extreme left all along? Have had some discussions on this subject online and many are adamant about democracy and majority rule! Our founders were aware of what a democracy is, a claim is that Benjamin Franklin said, it is 2 wolves and one sheep voting on what’s for lunch. When asked what form of government we have it is reported he said a Republic if you can keep it. I have a suggestion. Start calling it what it really is in all interviews and messages to the media and people at large. Perhaps even have the announcements made by our President and in a strongly worded press release. AND bring back civics in our system of education!!! Right now students are being fed mis or dis information concerning our form of government in the absence of civics. Maybe even threaten to make it a required pass fail class in order to vote??? Ya I know the left would go insane. And I doubt it would ever pass congress… but putting it out there might create a jolt of learning? A quick second thought, why not start requiring states to implement a electoral college type system by counties to perhaps prevent or reduce 1 or 2 large population cities from ruling over an entire state to misery of the lower population areas?
My buddy goes ballistic whenever I or others call our country a "Democracy." It gets on my damn nerves because we all know it's a Constitutional Republic based on Democracy but, since he is correct, I can't tell him to shut up. Maybe his approach is correct because it has changed our behavior, at least around him. Yes, I think we should call it what it is and the same for the 'Gulf of America'...but remember, old habits die hard so don't fly off the handle like my buddy but do correct them. As far as an electoral State college, in theory it sounds good but then again so does communism... so I would need more time and thought about it, but it does seem to work well at the Country level so...
It may be a constitutional republic but we run it like a democracy. So it's a democracy heading off the cliff. Don't worry .. this slide is going to take a few more decades before it's communist OR we go back to a constitutional republic after the uprising that our children will witness and maybe even start.
not really... look carefully... our form of government is actually based on Biblical principals mostly found in the old testament... the 3 branch's and such... if ya care to check will require some reading and studying...

I did read your link but didn't find anything referencing or relevant to State electoral college. Maybe I missed it? I don't think it's a bad idea, it's a good one actually and I can think of a lot of reasons to say it is necessary...
true... it isn't there... the state electoral college is an idea that may be good for our nation??? but getting a state to do it is problematic and the left is pushing us toward an actual democracy so they would fight it hard!
