my opinion is that the electoral college needs changing, and gerrymandering needs to be fixed.
It’s a good start, but this assumes that the majority tends to be right, and while it is true that a minority in control of all the levers of power makes most of the country unhappy, it is also possible that this minority could be in the right. What worries me is that with the erosion of good journalism and education, a con man like Trump could easily get the majority of the votes in an election. If that happens a fair and democratic system would work against us.
I guess I’m saying that good journalism and healthy discourse is just as important as a fair and free voting process.
