- extraduder_ire 3y agoThis is different still. It's more like how the US president's cabinet is unelected. I was referring mainly to the European Commission, and a common criticism I hear about it. The electoral collage does follow a process that is election, even if there's one (or more) layer of abstraction between that and initial ballots.
- 9dev 3y agoNot that I share GPs opinion, but the US president really isn’t elected by the people. The winner takes it all is a strategy suitable for the 1700‘s, but not today. It may be what it is, but it certainly isn’t democratic.
