    I know how the system works. I’m not disputing it. I’m saying the status quo is bad, not that it’s false.

    It’s not a popular vote. Never has been, and would be inappropriate to make it so. Basic civics.

    Pointing out it’s “basic civics” that that’s how it works currently, and using that to sneak in the huge claim that it’s also “basic civics” that a popular vote “would be inappropriate”. If that was intentional, it was clever.
