Electoral College Is a Spoof

Electoral College is proof
Many have grown long in the tooth.
Some votes do not count.
Hurt feelings soon mount.
Democracy is our big spoof.

G'day Caren … I often wonder about what democracy stands for these days. The word basically means the rich and powerful have total control of the people - thank you Caren - Lindsay

I so agree. I hate the electoral college, and while I am at it, I hate that candidates are allowed to be funded by organizations that they "owe" things to. It's always about the conglomerations, never the people being served.

So many self-serving people only voting for their own greedy advantages. Such a ridiculous farce! The men and women who are sent overseas to fight usually have no vote at all, as we are not a democracy. The big lie!

Right on, Caren! As it stands, it's too much power in too few hands! The basic definition of DEMOcracy demos in Greek) and it means "PEOPLE power"! Your few lines are concise and to the point. Keep it up. / M
