First of all, abolishing the Electoral College wouldn't mean we become mob rule.
The very definition of Democracy is "mob rule". The USA is not a Democracy. The USA is a Federated Republic.
We would still have checks and balances.
What "checks and balances"? Liberals wish to do away with the Constitution. It gets in the way of their Marxist pipe dream. This is NOT an all inclusive list by any means, but merely offers up a few examples:
** They reject the limits on the legislative powers of Congress. (thus rejecting Article I)
** They reject the executive powers of the President if they happen to not like the President, and they reject the Electoral College. They reject the proper method and reasoning for removing a President from office. They reject the enumerated duties of a President, especially the duties of preserving/defending/protecting the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article II)
** They reject the scope and role of SCOTUS and other inferior courts. They believe that SCOTUS are the sole interpreters of the US Constitution. They believe that SCOTUS are oligarchs. (thus rejecting Article III)
** They reject the Republican form of government that is guaranteed to the States. They reject protecting the States from invasions and domestic violence (especially when relating to immigration). (thus rejecting Article IV)
** They reject the formal amendment process, and instead regularly misuse the court system as a "work-around" to that. They wish to transform the USA into the SOA (Socialist Oligarchy of America). (thus rejecting Article V)
** They reject legislating in pursuance of the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article VI)
** They reject that the States (collectively) are the owners of the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article VII)
** They also reject many of the Amendments to the Constitution, and actively fight against people's inherent rights (such as the right to have and express an opinion, freedom of religion, right to keep and bear arms, due process, etc...)
So, as you can see, liberals reject the whole works. It gets in their way. They hate the document.
Yes, the people would theoretically have control over the government, but that's how it should be.
No, they WOULD have control over the government. Democracy, by definition, is mob rule.
That's how America was established.
WRONG. America has never been a Democracy. It has always been a Federated Republic.
Secondly, if you want to go by the Founding Fathers, they also thought that the only people who should be allowed to vote are white men who own land. Should we go back to that?
I'd be fine with going back to landowners. Either that, or bring back the poll tax, or require a political/history test be passed, or install some other similar voting requirement(s). I also think that the voting age should be raised from 18 up to 25 (the same age requirement for becoming a House member), and that there should be a requirement that the voter has been a U.S. resident for seven years, again, the same requirement for becoming a House member).
Finally, if you don't believe in "one person, one vote" then why have elections at all?
Why would you want just any ol' politically inept freeloading moron (or illegal immigrant) to be able to vote in elections?
Why not just have an oligarchy that chooses the president?
Why bother "choosing a President" if the Oligarchy has power over him anyway?? But yes, this is what liberals want. They want the USA to become a Socialist Oligarchy, the "SOA"...
The point of democratic elections are to hold the government accountable.
Then why do you want to do away with them and implement fascism by oligarchy?
You xust be a professionally trained witness in crixinal trials!!!
