I noticed Kos was talking about how the electoral college was designed to protect the Slave states and the interest of Slave owners and I was like right on.

So this raises an obvious question: Why do we still have the Electoral College? What’s the utility now?

Well, inertia is one reason. It's the system that we have. A constitutional amendment is a very difficult thing to accomplish. As a matter of public education, most people are not taught the slavery story. They're taught that the Electoral College was about, say, federalism and institutional checks.
They're not told that the Electoral College was not the framers’ finest hour.

James Madison was a slave owner himself.
if we’re going to be stuck in the minority then demonizing the status quo with as much vitriol as possible has no political consequences from what I can tell so I’m all in favor.
I’m in favor of abolishing the electoral college and I believe exposing it’s Slavery origins will help convince more Americans to turn against it.
