Without the Electoral College, Republicans Would Never Win the Presidency again.


 

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Fact: if the Electoral College, a rule which allows the states to choose our president, preventing the will of the people, and preventing the promise of “every vote must count,” did not exist, not a single Republican would have defiled our White House since 1993.

There Can Be no Argument: The People Should Choose Who Leads Them

Our Founding Fathers believed that presidents must be chosen by the people. However, smaller, less populated states whined about “representation,” and the Electoral College was created, ending another right of the people, and the inevitable creation of “red and blue states.”

From 1992 through 2020, Democrats have won the popular vote, with a single exception. After 9/11 and the reelection bid of George W. Bush in 2004, John Kerry lost the Electoral College by three million votes, 62,028,285 to 59,028,109. However, like 2000, the 2004 election was controversial. A plethora of false information about John Kerry flooded the airways.

The Insurrection on January 6, 2021, might not have happened if the Electoral College did no exist.

Two Democrats Were Cheated Although They Were the People’s Choice

In 2000 Al Gore won the popular vote. However, a violation of the spirit of the Constitution allowed a biased Supreme Court to halt a recount in Florida and handed a victory to George W. Bush, who became the second worst president in history.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by three million ballots. Interference by Donald Trump’s mentor and handler, Vladimir Putin, handed an illegitimate win in the Electoral College to the man who became the worst president in history.

Regardless of the Corruption by Republicans, Vote

I beg of you, do not allow these facts to lessen your resolve to vote in November. Remember, the people stood up en masse in 2020 to evict Donald Trump from the White House. We, the people, the real Americans have the power to do the right thing.

Take Our Country Back from Trump’s Fascist Supporters

America must take back its freedoms and its rights, and only voters can accomplish this task. Stand up to the most corrupt and incompetent government in the world. Send them a message: “we will not be intimidated nor will we allow an obese, old, fascist to return to the White House and continue his efforts to void the Constitution.

I Want You to Think About the Reasons for, and the Reality of Domestic Terrorism

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   From FBI Director Christopher Wray: “Domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people.” Everyone remembers the name Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995 where 168 innocents were murdered, 19 of them small children. The media reported stories about Ted Kaczynski, dubbed “The Unabomber,” for 17 years, beginning in 1978. However, domestic terrorism is much more common in our country than reported by the media. Large events receive the headlines, but mass shootings continue to happen more frequently than the number of days on the calendar. After the cowardly attacks on 9/11, Republican politicians misdirected the facts related to domestic terrorism and focused their attacks on all Muslims, insinuating that they were all enemies of the United States. The truth is that the greatest danger lies within our own people, and it is related to uncontrolled gun violence and the greed of those involved in their manufacture and sales

One Very Serious and Critical Question: Why Do Republicans Hate America?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is an irrefutable fact that today’s pseudo-Republicans hate the principles of our Founding Fathers, and have no interest in the future of the American People. Studies prove that they are opposed to every issue favored by the majority. The leader of their party is a lifelong criminal, a sexual predator, a fascist, the biggest traitor in American history, and the worst American president by far. I couldn’t make this s**t up. The truth is that the real Republican Party began to implode in 1981. Trump and his followers completed its demise in 2017, and it will never return. The ideals and principles of the former Grand Old Party are dead and forgotten. Today’s group has moved so far to the right they have embraced the ideas of fascism. Human rights, liberty and justice for all, and the ideals of understanding and compassion have long been forgotten. Money is their only god, and support from the wealthiest five percent of our nation’s people is priority number o

Why my Wife Wants to Move to Canada

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I continue to claim that after four years of an illegitimate Trump presidency, the United States is one election away from becoming a fascist regime. A Republican win by any of their unqualified men or women in 2024 would signal the end of my America. Our neighbor to the north is already making preparations for the time when our government surrenders 330 million people to a dictator. [Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has been considering a "game plan" for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year's presidential election.] If I haven’t reported enough information to create an atmosphere of fear over the last 10 years, my efforts have failed. Maybe the fact that Canada is taking steps to thwart the effect of an autocratic society to its south will awaken some of the uninformed. Here’s the way I see it, tell me if I’m wrong. About 30-40 percent of all Americans c
