Yes , but the popular vote makes more sense these days . Give a reason for not using popular vote instead of people just wanting it changed because they didn ' t like the results . <| sep |> Really enjoyed your reverse image search tip . <| sep |> Amen brotha , Amen ! <| sep |> Indeed , my little rant barely scratched the surface of the horror that the DeVos clan represents . Someone else replied that as Head of Education she doesn ' t wield much direct power , that she still has to go through congress . Unfortunately , her family has huge experience at political activism , incredibly deep pockets of their own , and a massive alreadyestablished network of other 1 % ers ready to tap for cash . Her family are considered right up there with the Kochs when it comes to having the social and financial muscle to bend congress to it ' s whims . With her actually installed in a cabinetlevel position , and all that organizational strength behind her , and with the way congress is utterly dependent on fundraising . I can ' t see any realistic defense being offered as she starts whittling public education down to the bone . Four years is plenty of time for someone like her to get an agenda well underway . It ' s a fucking nightmare moment for anyone with a stake in the education system .
