DNC chairman thinks the Electoral is not written in the U.S. Constitution

Word came out of the mouth and through these teeth evolved to hold prey from wiggling free for a oneway trip through the mouse-pie hole.

Apologies. Got that wrong again. Words came through these teeth in the mouth of Tom Perez.

Chairman of the Democrat National Committee. I wonder if Tom Perez knows the first world has professional people called dentists. That mouth can be fixed even if the mind producing the words that fly through them cannot.

Good Lord. A fiery, easily cranked up man possessed of a deeply addled mind.

Why does DNC do this? There's something wrong with this man. Hired, no doubt, for his viciousness and not for his intellect. Do they work their way up like slashing gladiators, or what? Just like Debbie Wasserface. Tom Perez delivering a lecture to law students at Indiana University Law School told them, "The Electoral College is not a creation of the Constitution. It doesn't have to be there." 

And the right side blogs go nuts.

He's almost right. 

The Electoral College was not created by the founders. It was invented much earlier than that. It was actually created in ancient times because elites through history never did trust the popular vote.  

And if you were a youth just learning, then presently almost everything you'll encounter  online will mislead you. In college your professors will affect your opinion. Check it out. [history electoral college] Without even specifying the United States. See, unlike Tom Perez, the framers were familiar with history. They chose the electoral college type of elections because they didn't trust the popular vote either. Our framers were themselves elitists. But that doesn't stop anti-electoral college writers from misleading their readers in other ways. Original elitism is not part of their argument. Their immense biases and their aggravation at losing elections allow them to distort, since their own minds are distorted. Since Hillary lost to Trump via Electoral College and Gore lost to Bush via electoral college liberals are hyped up about eliminating electoral college from our Constitution. But Tom Perez is even dumber than that. They just cannot let it through their thick skulls that their regional populations superior in number cannot rule supreme over the whole nation. And that's the way we want it. So they wildly pull out all the stops to change minds to fit their conceits and have things their way. 

Let's pull just one from search results just see how they talk.

* Washington Post writer George C Edwards III, ewww, the third, how patriarchal. He must have a deadly serious mind. Come on. Only very serious people give their sons the same name through generations. Even as a IIIrd guy with the same name and an obviously serious mind George Edwards will contradict fact, and in explaining contradict himself. The party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow, the party that resisted civil rights until they they realized they can use civil rights for delivering lagniappes and keep their modern day analog to slaves on their analog political plantation are constantly thinking in terms of slavery even today. They're nothing if not slave-minded. Even as they insist on importing more slave labor and have them them beholden to their Party plantation. Watch how George Edwards perverts delicate forming minds. 

Myth 1. The framers created the electoral college to protect small states.

The delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention had a variety of reasons for settling on the electoral college format, but protecting smaller states was not among them. Some delegates feared direct democracy, but that was only one factor in the debate. 

Remember what the country looked like in 1787: The important division was between states that relied on slavery and those that didn’t, not between large and small states. A direct election for president did not sit well with most delegates from the slave states, which had large populations but far fewer eligible voters. They gravitated toward the electoral college as a compromise because it was based on population. The convention had agreed to count each slave as three-fifths of a person for the purpose of calculating each state’s allotment of seats in Congress. For Virginia, which had the largest population among the original 13 states, that meant more clout in choosing the president. 

The electoral college distorts the political process by providing a huge incentive to visit competitive states, especially large ones with hefty numbers of electoral votes. That’s why Obama and Romney have spent so much time this year in states like Ohio and Florida. In the 2008 general election, Obama and John McCain personally campaigned in only five of the 29 smallest states. 

The framers protected the interests of smaller states by creating the Senate, which gives each state two votes regardless of population. There is no need for additional protection. Do we really want a presidency responsive to parochial interests in a system already prone to gridlock? The framers didn’t. 

He's saying the South didn't trust the majority of their popular voters, since they were slaves and that's true. Neither did the northern aristocratic framers trust their popular voters either, since they were farmers and craftsmen. And the division between large and small states was as important to the framers as slavery, but not as important to George Edwards the third who dwells in the world darkened by slavery and abides there and needs to have you there too.

They gravitated toward the Electoral College because it was based on population. And? George, if your candidate has widespread national support and not mere concentrated crackpot regional support then you're right back to dealing with the popular vote. You just said the Electoral college is based on the popular vote. You are chasing your tail.

George says, "the framers protected the interests of smaller states by creating the Senate, there is no need for additional protection." If the president were chosen by the Senate then that would make sense. But the president is not chosen by the Senate so it doesn't. Face it, George, your candidate must appeal to the entire country and not your precious enclaves and your states importing slave labor contrary to U.S. national laws. You're dead wrong in your discussion.

George's highly debatable myth 2 through 5. He's agitating, he's a crackpot, he's not worth the time or trouble to dispute.

2) The electoral college ensures that the winner has broad support.

That's broader support than the loser, George. No one expects you and your buds to be happy.

3) The electoral college preserves stability in our political system by discouraging third parties.

Pffft. See George Washington's farewell address.

4)  In direct elections, candidates would campaign only in large cities.

Yes they would. There's be no point in doing otherwise, and George knows it.

5) Electors must vote for the candidate who wins their state.

They do if they want to keep their heads on their necks.

You know, this whole exercise is aggravating. Reading pages and pages and pages of disgruntled unhappy liberal writers perverting precious minds to their silly stupid malevolent partisan wrenched positions just isn't cutting it. Sometimes the internet is not a good place.
