The problem with the electoral college system started with the direct election of senators.

Well, it actually started when we lost the War of Northern Aggression and became an occupied territory forced back into the Union by conquest; this changed the "United States", plural, into a single State. The election of the chief executive thus becomes more important than the election of Representatives and state legislators.

This is why ignorant Americans who can't even name their legislators, representatives, and senators, wind up deciding the presidency. Meanwhile, those people they can't even name run amok.

The best response yet, seen on opencarry.org:

"Blame me for wasting my vote? Try blaming the GOP for wasting a nomination!"
