Oh hell no. The Electoral College is essential. It guarantees a balance between the federal government and the states.
Democracy unrestricted is basically mob rule. The majority is not always right. That's why the U.S. is a republic and a representative democracy.
You opponents of the Electoral College would eventually give way to a national vote on all important issues. That's democracy al la dictatorship of the proletariat. Frankly, the public is stupid. That's why we need elected officials with some knowledge to make the final decision.
And the Electoral College has rarely gone against majority vote anyway. It's more important to keep the symbolism of federalism and representative democracy. And Trump being elected over Hillary in 2016 was a fair price to pay.

Gaslight lol. What is it with you and that term? The first time I heard it in terms of trolling was Bongo. Are you Bongo?
But the people always decide, even if the majority doesn't win. Dogs don't vote.
Dude, how many times have there been or will there ever be a tie in the Electoral College?

CNN said Trump's attorneys quit. Sky News Australia says Trump fired them. The truth is likely somewhere in between. Trump really doesn't need to defend at all. The Reps will acquit him regardless.
If you don't follow the alternative media you are uninformed.
If you follow the mainstream media you are misinformed.
