Petition to abolish the Electoral College

[Angrboda]

That may as well be, but since we're not proposing that the minority inflict tyranny, but rather, that they use what tools we've created to prevent it even when the majority demands it...what's the problem?

The mechanism isn't broken, it's doing exactly what it's meant to do.  The People are broken - and because of this, they're going to use anything to get what they want.  I want to point out, again, that republics and the ec are the final barrier to every moment in history...and there have been many, in which The People decide to go all in on horrid shit.

That's true whether they're the majority or the minority. People don't become wise saints by being in the minority. Quite the contrary, tyrannies of the minority have always been the worst kind. You can see this playing itself out today where a voting minority, right-wing GOP supporters, are engaged in all sorts of destructive and anti-democratic acts, not because they are the majority, but actually because they are the minority.

Spare me the emotion shit - there's nothing wrong with emotions, lol.  It's a concern trolling argument when it's leveraged by people who have emotions and don't like what the other side is doing.

You don't like what the other side is doing, you think that you are the majority.  You aren't....but you are joined in this apprehension by the other guys past and present, who resent any way that a minority can stymy their desires - and this is why they set to souring the ec in the first place.  They knew that if they didn't control it, it could eradicate them even if they managed to completely suppress the vote and present as a (presumably false)majority.

...that's what happened to hitlery in 2016.  A statistical minority convinced that the majority got it wrong went the other way with it.  They've smartly taken the one thing that can do them in, and used it against the people who would rightly do them in.  They do this with everything, and the left keeps stepping on it like so many rakes.  They took civil rights so they could prosecute colleges for not picking up enough whites.

Spare me the bullshit. The reason we discount propaganda is because it's contrary to reason. Like the saying that if they had evidence, they wouldn't need faith, if you had reasons and justification, you wouldn't be appealing to emotion. So spare me your crack-addled views on human nature.
