I don't think Russia was ever a direct democracy in terms of voting either, and I don't think if they voted for "delegates" or an electoral collage they would have been any less communist under anyone from Lenin and Stalin through our new buddy Putin. I agree with vic an jj in #79.

The electoral college (sp) is supposed to save us from letting the emotions of the day get in the way of the long term good of the future. It is based on one person one vote is great to an extent, but the masses cannot be fully trusted and we need the adults to protect us. It failed and is failing. Something insidious has been happening for decades and it is manifesting in front of us.

I don't know, being press secretary for Trump seems horrific to me. Know you are an Aethiest so consider this absolutly hypothetical. Victor dies and goes to hell. He finds out he has to be Trumps press secretary for eternity. What could be more horrific? Rescuing sick little dogs that **** and piss on your floors daily? Having to read philosophy by Tail continuously? Being the preacher for Evangelical Christians for eternity? Finding out there is a God? You know a dislexic friend of mine had that experience recently and did that shake him up. I asked him what happened, he said he heard the BARK!
