Comments by "SmallSpoonBrigade" (@SmallSpoonBrigade) on "SCOTUS rules against 'electors' who sought discretion to vote for any candidate" video.
There already is, Biden was not lawfully nominated. He was nominated because the Democratic establishment chose to rig the election in his favor. He's not somebody that the voters want and his policies are horribly unpopular, but the party was able to rig the election in his favor by closing polling places and insisting on having elections, even when they couldn't be held safely.

@jaredholt4582 You make that sound like it's a bad thing. That's how Democracy works, if you don't have enough voters to support your cause, then you need to make a more compelling case as to why they should support you. The actual distribution of votes shouldn't matter in nationwide or statewide elections. Those smaller states get their own Representatives and Senators. And in most states, there's more than one set of policy proposals that the voters are in favor of. It's not like all of the Representatives of NY or CA just vote in lock step on every issue any more than it would be for all the TX and FL Representatives to do so. Here in WA we've had the rural counties whining about that sort of thing for decades, because they don't have the votes to elect a Senator or Governor of their liking. They regularly try to secede from the state in order to get their own Senators. But, the fact is that it would be undemocratic for them to get their say without running better GOP candidates that can effectively win the support of the people at large.

Which is grossly unconstitutional. The point of having electors is that they can vote however they like. The only reason why they get allocated based upon votes rather than at random is that they're more likely to advocate for that candidate at the convention. It was never intended for them to be forced to vote for a particular candidate. This ruling, is just another case of the court ignoring the constitution to do what they want. It's also another step back from Democracy. Really, the system should be abolished as it's grossly undemocratic to have non-elected officials have the final say in who the President is.
