Deciding which Candidate to vote for, for President? Don't bother.

***I had this on my Facebook page, but no one saw it. Per FB algorithms, the post was too long, and included a link. So I decided to post this here. Educating oneself, is paramount to our existence. This is something I wish more people knew about.

​The Electoral College is the Government's answer to our
fought-for-right-to-vote.


We can vote our Congress members in/out of office, still. We still might be able to pass a Bill (unlikely), but we CANNOT vote our President in. This has been true since the beginning of our Country's existence. The Electoral College is supposed to be made up of each state's elected representatives that are supposed to vote for that state's winner (the person we voted the most votes for).
​
BUT in the current model used (which has been in effect since the 1800's when political parties started to evolve), this is not LAW. The representatives can even be someone the "State" (not necessarily the voters, but possibly a group of politicians and/or lobbyists) chooses just for the event, and they can vote however they want.
Meaning they don't have to vote for the State's majority leader.

DID YOU READ THAT?

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE is made up of 538(+/-) individuals that we may or may not have chosen to speak for us, and this group of 538(=/-) individuals has the power to vote the next President in,
regardless of who the majority leader is.

Did you so easily forget the Bush/Gore election of 2000?
Imagine where we might've been if Bush hadn't been elected in. Instead of an Oil tycoon's son of little wit, with a greedy spending habit and taste for war, would Global Warming/Environmental issues been addressed? Would the economy have collapsed? Would 9/11 really have happened? Obviously none of us know the answer to the "what if" questions. I certainly don't, but I also don't forget easily a lesson learned. Gore won the election by majority. Period. Proven documented FACT. But the Electoral College chose Bush. The Electoral College decided for themselves who would be President, because obviously us U.S. citizens didn't really know who we wanted.

If we continue to use a system that our Founding Fathers put in place because they were convinced the majority of the then 13 colonies, would be uneducated about the Presidential Candidates, and would end up voting for their State's "Son," thereby there'd be no winner, then we are collectively repeating ourselves every four years. We are telling our Government that we are too ignorant to know what we want, and we are incapable of deciding who should lead us and represent us to the world. And if that is the case, and we continue to accept this flawed process, then we have willingly silenced ourselves. We have no right to complain about that which we do nothing to change. To do so, would be to live as a nation of hypocrites (which unfortunately is not so far from the world's perception of us).

You want to choose our President? Let's get rid of the Electoral College and establish a new voting system. One that really represents the People. You want to talk about who died for our right to vote, but then turn a blind eye to this corruption? Educate yourselves, or shut up. Don't talk Change, Be Change.  ‪#‎donttalkchangebechange‬ ‪#‎getridoftheElectoralCollege‬‪#‎wearenotignorant‬ ‪#‎newvotingsystem‬

    Hello!

    I’m T.B. Cooper, and I’m very excited to share my life with you. In between living on Pinterest, voicing political views of Equality (on Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr), running an atypical farm in the Southern Nevada Desert, spiritually guiding & advising & fixing lives, and schooling my kids plus a bunch of others' kids (...that I'm not sure how they got here); you’ll find me fighting for desk space with my cats, attempting to keep their hair out of my tea, plugging my nose 'cause my bulldog likes to sleep & fart next to me, trying to actually do some work that makes ME happy…

    I'm a woman of many traits and talents, some are better than others. In this Blog you'll find a little bit of everything. And I DO mean EVERYTHING!

    Want to know more about me? Visit my About Page or we can talk (I'd love to hear from you), just head over to my Contact Page.
