I'm pretty sure it was originally intended as a last line of defense against populists and demagogues because Hamilton loving hated the unwashed masses and also democracy

Azathoth posted:The Founding Fathers absolutely were wary of direct democracy. It's why it wasn't until the 20th century that Senators are actually elected by popular vote, instead of by state legislatures (and are elected for six year terms), why we have the electoral college instead of just the popular vote count, why we don't have a parliamentary system like the UK. They wanted to make sure that the opinion of the popular rabble was considered, but not too much. The founding fathers were a bunch of slave owning 1 percenters, who didn't believe in direct democracy

I didn't bother looking up the details of the French electoral system because they are due for a new republic any day now and we'll just have to learn the new system.

So Melenchon has put out a statement that was basically "I will not vote Le Pen and I call on you to not make this terrible mistake", which I'm sure still has anglo media holding their breaths and ready to blame France Insoumise rather than the actually likely guilty party, namely the roughly 30-50% of Republican voters who are probably going to give Le Pen most of her runoff bump. Also he's definitely calling on people to focus on the legislatives.
