The US is a federal republic governed by _representative democracy_, so
this is they way it is /supposed/ to work it would seem.
US citizens need to be more active in choosing the state Senators &
Representatives that allow them electoral votes, and more careful about
what types of people are choosing the actual electors. In the end
though, these electors /are/ free to vote as they wish in many states,
regardless of what The People voted for. :(
So I could feel fine that it is working as designed... It's of course
flawed, but it possibly beats a "Mob Rules" popular vote majority that a
direct democracy provides, especially for a diverse nation of former
immigrants like the U.S.
Hell who knows... this is all OT anyway.
