No
democratic socialist would agree with this reactionary intrigue to deny
the presidency to Donald Trump. To be sure, the Elector College is a
mockery of popular democracy. Using it to oust Trump before Inauguration
Day would strongly legitimize this elitist political mechanism for
checking and " balancing " the popular vote.
In all probability Putin influenced the election the same way powerful foreign leaders have always influenced American elections: through partisan journalists, honest or bribed. Stalin ordered the American Communist Party to support Roosevelt -after Hitler turned against " Mother Russia ".
One prominent Democrat, Clay Pell of Rhode Island ,would like to see the Electoral College turn down Republican Donald Trump.
But
how ironic ! " Socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders defeated the
Hillary Clinton machine in Rhode Island in the April primary. But the
state delegation voted for Hillary- not Bernie - at the Democratic
National Convention.
It is the capitalist two party system that has betrayed democracy in America- not Russia's Vladimir Putin. Our plutocracy is NOT on a higher moral level than Putin's rich oligarchy.
But Putin was right about Hawk Hillary : she was the face of World War III.
