CMV: the electoral college completely undermines democracy

I have thought that the electoral college is ridiculous for years, but after I have grown up watching it be used as a tactic to sway several American elections it has made me and lots of people in my generation not trust the American democracy. It absolutely should not exist and the only reason it still does is because it is just another tool corrupt Republican politicians are using to sway elections. And the worst part is that the only argument people have for it is that it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t actually affect elections which we have all seen to majorly wrong.

Thats the purpose of it. The founders were trying to guard against the tyranny of the majority. Also to ensure that small states would still have a say in the conduct of the national government.  There are many elements of our constitution that are designed to restrain pure majority rule, mainly by establishing a Federal government only empowered with specific, limited, enumerated powers.

Pure democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting over what to have for dinner.
