Hamilton wrote, "Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence" of the men in the Electoral College who would put "the whole Union..." first.
It took 240 years, but Hamilton's optimism and hope for America has nearly been defeated. It took 50 years and the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars by a massive rightwing Billionaire donor and media network, but they are on the edge of success.
Every American who cares about our democratic republican form of government must push to end the Electoral College before 2024. Whether by constitutional amendment, by law, or by the National Popular Vote interstate compact, this is vital.
Similarly, Americans who care about the ideals of our nation must also fight the election of those pro-oligarchy Republicans who are today plotting to take over swing state legislatures, and pass federal election law updates to make it harder for rightwing billionaires to buy their seats for them.
