History of the electoral college READ....

[Pat Mustard]

1) The electoral college is still mob rule by vote, it's just that some people's votes are worth more than others.

2) "Mob rule" by vote would have elected Clinton this time around.

I completely understand the electoral college. I understand it enough to know it's a horrible system to elect a national president. People can rant about how smaller states need more say, but why? The people from those smaller states make up a fraction of the US population, and you are voting for a president of the entire nation, not just that state. If you want to fairly represent the entire nation, there's a simple way to do that: popular vote.

For one thing, the people in those less densely populated states control much of our food supply and other natural resources. Giving them less of a say than they already have is likely to inspire them to take other measures to get us to listen to them. We're already conspiring to take away one of the few civic tools they have to get our attention, in order to avoid having to take them into consideration. Would it really kill us to try to address their economic concerns?

So you'd be ok with an open dictatorship then?

Oh and if you want to secure your food supply, shop as directly from the source that you can and pay a fair price.
