      New claim: the Electoral College was "designed" to overrule voters based on subjective judgments, even though it hasn't happened since 1788

      If you're calling for an Electoral College coup, at least admit the radicalism of the idea, rather than making bogus appeals to the Founders

          Founders wanted EC to ensure that there is no "tyranny of the majority" (pop vote), they'd never advocate EC flip flopping.

          False. Federalist No. 68 clearly mandates electors' discretion to veto a candidate chosen "by the process"

          It's only radical because we are electing an incredibly radical leader that doesn't know what he is doing.

          If the FF didn't want faithless electors, why have electors at all? Why not just award the winner of the state the EC votes?

          I'm torn. I sympathize with their argument, but how will any election be seen legitimate if results yanked like this in the future?

          @TalkNerdyToMe72 wasn't it the case back then that people literally voted for the electors themselves rather hiw they should vote?
