Congress Moving Forward On Unconstitutional Take It Down Act

  • It's not a counterpoint, but emphasizes an even stronger point. Few Presidents win a majority of those eligible to vote. But to become President without also winning the majority of cast votes is unusual, and it's especially important to emphasize when such a President claims they have a mandate due to being "popular", imo.

  • And since it's mentioned in the article, there is a proposed path to having the popular vote decide the presidency that doesn't require a constitutional amendment, and IMO it's surprisingly further along than one might guess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

    • Trump reportedly talked with Israel PM Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal in Gaza, fearing that this could help Vice President Kamala Harris win the U.S. presidential election
