I'm content to rest on the American experience as validation for the American system. But if you argue that the American system is a uniquely bad form of government, you should look at what other democracies - less durable than our own - have done.
I remember the Obama & Clinton presidencies, & to some extent Carter. They were not characterized by widespread conservative agitation to change the rules by which presidents are elected.
Not to mention if it were a valid point (which it’s not) it would give more power to the most anti democratic system this country has ever produced.
Multiple unsupported arguments in there. 7 is particularly atrocious as it is exactly the opposite of true. The largest states elect their governors by simple popular vote, and somehow that seems to work just fine. 8x larger pop (CA vs US) doesn't change the rationale.
The only ones of these that are not completely, insultingly stupid or false are 5, which is fine, 8, which has nothing to do with the electoral college even if it's true, 9, which is present in both systems, and 10, which would actually be a good thing.
God forbid we vote for people who we actually support instead of getting shoehorned into binary choices of voting for the least bad party every single damn election.
