So while country might be ready EC ain't.

If she picks up just two swing states, the EC won’t have a say in the matter. Picking her VP from any swing state would be a help.

I defer to your expertise.

I’m no expert, I just find the clown that is USian politics fascinating.

Well I only know that EC fucked up things in the past with Gore and later Clinton.

My wife suggested Larry Hogan, Republican Governor of Maryland.  Very moderate. Against Project 2025.  Hates Trump.

I think it's fucking brilliant.

You left out Adams, Hayes, and Harrison.

They didn’t ’fuck things up’. They were following Constitutional law. Outdated law, to be sure, but barring an amendment, they had no choice.

American presidents are not elected by popular vote. Never have been.

I didn't particularly cared above three mentioned by you. Also not being American I don't care all that much for how exactly system works - I simply see president "winning" elections despite losing popular vote as a parody and proof of failure of the system. In my view it is popular vote that reigns supreme.

It's the 21st century.

They better be ready, or shut the fuck up.

America is ready. Some aren't, and some will never be. After 2016 I wasn't sure we'd ever be ready in my lifetime. Then 2020 came around, and I had hopes for Elizabeth Warren, but it never materialized. I was a bit heartbroken that I'd probably be approaching my mid 40's by the time we had a chance at a female President. And now here we are. I'm ready to do this! And I'll drag along anyone I need to.
