It ' s a subversion of Democracy , but it is an implementation of the Constitution . It is the Electoral College itself , which is part of our Constitution and therefore the law of the land , which is and was an intentional subversion of Democracy because the founders feared a pure direct Democracy and the threat of mob rule . it would actually have two positive effects 1 . avoid a Trump presidency 2 . rally everyone to get rid of the Electoral College systemOf course , I ' m for it because Trump is a disaster , but it would probably be worth 4 years of Trump hypothetically , if the situation was reversed to get rid of the EC once and for all . Actually implementing the principles of the Constitution as written in order to enact needed systemic change is a worthy reason for the electors to vote against the electorate .
