Nice try at EC apologetics but using bad information doesn't make your case better.

quote: wealth taxes are counterproductive, money does not decide elections and the problem is not the lack of K-12 funding but how inefficiently the funds are spent.

Actually so-called wealth taxes are NOT counterproductive. We had a large middle class and growing economy for thirty years following WW2 to 1980s with high marginal taxes on wealthy Americans. Since then, the taxes on wealth have flattened or disappeared and income inequality has skyrocketed and middle class and working class wages have flattened.

There may be allocation issues in education BUT the data is clear in state after state that legislators have refused to properly fund schools! [1]

You are correct- the founders did not want democracy. That alone should SPEAK FOR ITSELF. The president was NOT a replica of a monarch in the early Republic. The Founders considered Congress, especially the House, as the pre-eminent branch

Your entire argument usies freighted terminology such as "Pleasing the majority means: aligning with mediocrity,".

We have only TWO options - allow the manjority of even 51% to make decisions OR allow a minority of 49% and often less to BLOCK legislation or elect a president.

Why should a minority of citizens from rural states be the determiners for presidential elections? We don't elect senators by some state level EC system.
