    Brian Beutler Retweeted Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE POISON*

    TIL that the founders created the electoral college for race-neutral reasons pertaining to their desire to block a vulgar populist like Hillary Clinton from defeating a cerebral republican like Donald Trump.https://twitter.com/EsotericCD/status/1108013393921929216 …

    Brian Beutler added,

    Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE POISON*Verified account @EsotericCD
    No, the electoral college exists to counteract the will of a vulgar popular vote, which the Founders, who read their Greek history, knew was the cause of the destruction of Athens. Same with the Senate. Pure democracy is an evil, not a virtue. https://twitter.com/jerkass27/status/1108012834280083456 …

        And man, those virtuous founders really hit the nail on the head on the whole slavery issue.

        “The destruction of Athens” is a giveaway that this tool has no idea what he’s talking about.

        Considering up to that point Athens was the only style Democracy that the Founders had to go by it is entirely accurate.

        Imagine actually using the word "vulgar", specifically, to defend the institution responsible for Trump getting elected

        The idea that people apply 18th century logic to 21st century problems is mind boggling to me.

        Considering the Bill of Rights was written in the 18th Century, which of those do you not support?
