Welcome to RightSighted, political news
with a conservative edge. And today we're
going to be discussing the Electoral
College. The "outdated" system that is
"unfair" and gave the election to someone
who didn't win the popular vote. Now
looking at the electoral college, if we
were a direct democracy,
it wouldn't be fair, it wouldn't be in
place. That's the first thing that has to
be realized. The United States is not a
direct democracy we haven't been since
the beginning. The electoral college was
put in place, it is mentioned in the
Constitution, it is in the Federalist
Papers and it was put in place by our
founding fathers. It is making
our country a representative democracy
it works the same way as the House of
Representatives. You know, each state gets
an amount of electors depending on
their population. Same as they would get
representatives in the house depending
on their population. And those equal, those
correlate obviously. So California has 55
elector same as they have 55
representatives Texas 38 electors 38
representatives and so on
now the electoral college has been
challenged for being unfair and
undemocratic and I don't know if there's
any challenges of unconstitutionality
probably which means that people are
learning history because its
constitutional if you look at you know
the the electoral college does something
that this one vote one voice thing
wouldn't do the Electoral College make
sure that all places
despite being an urban city or not get a
say in the election make sure one state
because of its large populace doesn't
determine an election taking California
out of the equation in this election
would have made Trump won the popular
vote we can't let one state determine
the election it's that's a democratic
that is oligarchic all over you know
it's each state gets the amount of
Representatives depending on the their
electorates depending upon their
population which makes it fair
each state has a say prominently because
they carry a large they carry depending
on how big they are they carrying more
weight in the electoral system every
state is important and just because this
you know if people are now using this as
to say my vote doesn't count because my
States just going to go one way or the
other states can change the way they
vote always and your vote does count
your vote counts to change that state
you could be one of 200 people that
swing a state or you could be the one
vote that swings estate extra over you
know obviously that it's not impossible
it's not you you know you can be part of
a large group of people that swings
estate because you said something and
your vote counts because of that you
know if you look at past elections you
know like oh my States this color will
never change
look at the election of the electoral
victory of Ronald Reagan against Walter
Mondale and jimmy carter and reagan one
typically blue states he won California
he won just he swept the board with
electoral votes and you know it's your
state can change because of the way you
vote
your vote is important now this video is
not about your vote
I'm not going to continue on that look
out for a later video on voting and why
the people have a voice and have a say
even without this being a direct
democracy the Electoral College is put
in place for fairness for it you know it
is very to make sure that the tyranny of
the masses doesn't work we are built
upon the tyranny of the you know the
tyranny and the masses being ignored
because the tyranny of the masses what
gives us a voter suppression and whatnot
it is put in place so that urban urban
areas and rural areas have an equal say
in the election
hence why you have to win the rust belt
and you know who won the Rust Belt Obama
and then Trump so this whole it's unfair
she didn't appeal to the right people
she only appeal to the earth Hillary
Clinton only appear to the urban city
voters and she didn't energize her voter
base so
her winning the popular vote is because
she appealed the big cities with
pandering to the public and so on
she didn't appeal to the people who are
blue-collar who you know she didn't
appeal to people in the rest about the
agrarian society she appealed to the
urban society and that was it she you
know it's it's not gonna that doesn't
help you determine an election I mean
look at the places that won't read this
election michigan michigan want red
because of its industrials and it in
Detroit look at Detroit failed policies
there in Detroit are what's won that
election that state to trump and hillary
clinton didn't order to organize the
didn't energized black voters she didn't
i've said this before she had energized
black voters Michigan would have been
hers for the taking but she didn't she
you know Michigan want red because of
that industrialization because of the
lack of energizing the black voters for
her and pennsylvania pennsylvania
alright because of its huge industry
wrote warned scheduling warrendale
Pennsylvania is a huge 10 and aluminum
producer you know it's it's one of these
places that you know whenever you have
something that made a metal it's usually
from warrendale Pennsylvania if it's
made in the u.s. Pennsylvania is a huge
industry place for metals and so on and
that was something that Trump was
fighting for and that was something
Hillary was fighting against even though
she claims she wasn't all these places
that voted for Trump voted for Trump and
swung the vote because they had more of
a say you know they had to say they
weren't dictated by people in cities who
don't work these jobs people in cities
these these are mostly Millennials you
know in this in the cities are
progressive Millennials liberal
Millennials because the millennial
generation is one of the biggest
progressive generations and liberal
generations and soon that will change
with the incoming of Generation X
another thing i'll discuss later on
there is the Electoral College is fair
it is constitutional and come November
night a December sorry December 19
Donald Trump will still be our president
elect because you're not going to
convince 37 people to go against the
will you want to talk about something
undemocratic that's undemocratic you're
going to convince 37 people to go
against the will of the other people all
the ones who vote followed in in for
improve themselves an oligarchy and just
throw the presidency to someone else
depending upon Congress that's
unpresidential that's undemocratic and
that is not the way our society is and
you know if you really if the Democrats
really want to challenge the electoral
college they should have done it back in
two thousand they should push that
agenda through 2000 and by this point
Hillary Clinton might be our president
elect which is terrifying to think about
but Al Gore lost the popular won the
popular vote lost the election there and
because that generation was different it
was a generation with less entitlement
sure they were mad and that's fine but
they didn't write they didn't send death
threats to the electoral the
electorate's the delegates they got over
it which is something that this
generation of Liberal voters needs to do
and not to mention forty-nine percent of
the population didn't of eligible voters
in this election didn't vote which means
half of these people sending death
threats the electorate's protesting the
undemocratic miss of the electoral
college didn't vote so before you go on
with your rampaging and tirade vote make
your decision
give yourself a voice because at this
point you don't have one
and honestly it is time to get over
yourself you are not a winner
you lost get over it and in four years
I hope you lose again i do unless I will
be voting for Donald Trump in 2020
unless something drastic happens we set
the Republican set for eight years and
watched Obama when and we didn't care we
were not happy about it but we didn't
care
the point now is you don't hope the
president the next president of the
United States fails because that is
hoping for your country to fall into
ruin and is not going to be pretty
support your president fall behind your
president you support your president
you don't have to necessarily agree with
that necessarily agree with their
policies but accept the fact is your
president
