38. The majority of the people should rule this country.

If the majority of Americans live in California and New York, then we in California and New York should decide who is president.

To do anything else is to subjugate those of us in California and New York to the will of the minority who live in other states.

But of course, the majority of the people do not live in California and/or New York.

When the United States was first formed, we were a nation of states.

We have become a nation of people, of individuals.

We individuals who live in California and New York (Texas and Florida, etc.) should as individuals have the same right to choose our president as those who live as individuals in Montana, Vermont or Kansas. Same right.

I cannot even call the current individual in the White House "my president." He did not win my vote. But more important he lost by a huge margin of votes in my state, California. He does not represent me or my state. He does not represent my nation. He represents the electoral college and a minority of Americans.

That is the sad but true truth.

The majority of individuals living in this country should choose the president. One person, one vote.

That is what is fair.

The Senate can still represent the states and represent those living in less populated areas. Senators serve six-year terms. They have more power in that sense than even the president.

We should do away with the electoral college.

We gave women the vote. We gave former slaves the right to vote.

We should do away with the electoral college.

Doing away with the electoral college will encourage more people to vote. Those who live in states we call "red" or "blue" and who dissent from the majority of voters in their state will be more likely to vote because their vote will count even if they vote for the party that is not the majority in their state.

So doing away with the electoral college will be good for all Americans. It will make our elections more inclusive, encourage voting and insure that the president is truly elected by the majority of Americans.

Right now, the man who sits in the White House was elected by a minority of
Americans. That's as he would say, "sad."

Makes a joke of our country.
