A world that moves faster is absolutely the original intent of the EC which is more essential now than ever before.
Rule by a demagogue is the primary weakness of a democracy and it's a pretty bad one at that.
- kuschku 7y agoThat's already what congress is for, the US system just gives too much power to the president, while having it a directly elected position, so it has to have this complicated system which is entirely broken. Parliamentary Democracies have fared much better in recent times.
- RyanAF7 7y agoYes, thats what congress is for in the legislative branch. In the executive branch the EC provides that function. You're forgetting that we are Constitutionally allowed 1 congress rep per 30k. Right now it's at 1 per 790k. Thats already demagogue territory. Also, forgetting the 17th Amendment and the original intent of Senators. You have a very narrow way of rationalizing the destruction of an actual bulwark against tyranny.
