Suicide pact

Democracies commit suicide.  Here is a sure fire way to make sure that the US commits suicide.

There's a very good reason to keep things as they are.  Don't fall for the idea that there is anything more moral about a democracy.

Our system was designed to be federal in nature.  Also, it is a republic, not a democracy.  The following link discusses the proposed compact between the states that would grant their electoral votes to whoever won the most popular votes.

There is no provision that requires a popular vote for president.  The federal government cannot force that there be one.  No compact between states should be able to assume what the federal government cannot mandate.

I fear that this proposition may succeed.  Just one more nail in the coffin.
