Al Gore won he populas vote. By a narrow margine, but he did win none the less. The problem here is the Electorial College needs to be manidated (Which its currently not). Just because a constituents electorial district says to vote for X, that Collegue can vote for whomever he/she pleases. This is why it needs to be mandated.
As for Americans need to stand up and take action. Well we did in November. Now it’s up to the Congress to make our voices heard. This is how a Republic works, we vote for our reps and they “Supposed” to stand up for our ideals. Unfortunetly, seems like this does not happen 100% of the time. Under certain Admin’s it dont happen at all.
