THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
The Epitome of American Democracy

THE AUTO CHANNEL
Very many Democrats (not all, but very many) believe that the Electoral College (the process used by America to decide a Presidential election) is not democratic because it doesn't necessarily follow the overall nation-wide vote count (the popular-vote).
In fact, the Electoral College process is the ultimate democratic process because it follows the will of the individual STATES. Our country is the United STATES of America, not the Association of American Individuals.
The popular-vote within each State is used to determine who the State votes for. The number of an individual State's presidential votes follows its popular-vote Congressional representation. Consequently, the electoral college process gives fair weight to each individual's vote in the individual States, as well as the States themselves. This is Democracy in action!
In any event, while these "very many Democrats" hold that the sanctity of individual votes should be respected above all other concerns, the Democrat Party has agreed to nominate for President (and Vice President) a person who never received any votes in any popular-vote State primary race. Moreover, these two people running to be President and Vice President never competed in any of the popular-vote State primaries. She and he were appointed to the position, just as how China appoints it leader, and how the Soviet Union (now Russia) appoints its leader. In addition, to demonstrate the public's disfavor of the current Democrat Party Presidential candidate, when this person (Kamala Harris) did compete in the nominating process in 2020, she didn't win one popular-vote State primary. This is Totalitarianism in action; it is the hallmark of a Dictatorship.
The question is simple: Do you want to live in a Totalitarian Dictatorship or a true Democracy?
NOTE: Selecting a "Representative" to be the "spokesman" of any group is one of the most basic tenets of a democracy. For example, workers' Unions select a representative(s) to negotiate employment terms. The right to "unionize" and authorize a representative to legally speak on behalf of an entire union of individuals is deemed to be a precept of any democracy.
