This is going to come up more and more.

The Democrats are committed (as per their name) to a universal franchise democracy. As they should be, since under such a system they would never lose.

The Constitution, on the other hand, had anti-democratic bones - the Senate, the Electoral College, the Supreme and inferior courts, and to some degree the Presidency.

Since the 1990s, the leftist majority has grown significantly. I’ve been looking at numbers recently. Just as a single example, states with two Democrat Senators (48) have 40 million more people than states with two Republican Senators (51).

In states won by Hillary, Trump got 22 million votes, but in states won by Trump, with much narrower margins, Hillary got 32 million votes.

So, the Left in the US has a majority somewhere between 20 million and 40 million people. They are being held in check by the Constitution, but they don’t like it.

Of course, our problem is bigger than that, since many Republicans also believe in “democracy”. I do not believe in “democracy”, I detest it, so I have no problem with keeping the anti-democratic Constitution in place.

I wonder how many are real people and not fake or deceased voters? I also wonder how many are actually citizens legal to vote? The dims are the party that doesn't just cheat some, they have nearly perfected it.
