10. It's anti-democratic because it was intended to be anti-democratic.

There's very little that's democratic about the presidential election process. It was never meant to be democratic.

We don't even vote for the candidates, we vote for electors who represent us in the process. Except where prohibited by state law, they can even be faithless electors and ignore our will altogether.

Posts like this are great for likes on Twitter and recs here, but without real solutions, they're meaningless. Rah, rah, get rid of the EC.

Fine, how?
