Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and one Democrat representative
0:05
and I don't believe it's just him. He's hatched a plan to basically crush the Constitution
0:13
so that Democrats never lose another election. Before we get started please make sure you like

Representative Jamie Raskin is at it again and before I get to what he said this time
0:46
I want to tell you what he said a few weeks ago maybe a month ago when talking in another
0:51
interview he basically said if the American people choose to elect former president Donald Trump to
0:57
the office of president of the United States again then it's up to Congress to reject that
1:03
vote not count the votes and get a different president. So what he wants to happen if you vote
1:10
for Trump and Trump wins he wants to say forget tens of millions of votes just get rid of them
1:18
because we the elite few in Washington D.C. we don't want this president. Now I think he would
1:24
fail and fail miserably but and the reason he'd fail miserably is I think you're gonna have
1:30
representatives like Nancy Pelosi who would say that's a bridge too far so I don't even think
1:36
you'd get a lot of Democrats except for the extremes on board with that and I don't think
1:41
you'd get a lot of Democrats except for the extremes on board with his newest proposal. See
1:46
his newest proposal is the thing that keeps us a republic and not a direct democracy
1:52
and a lot of horrible things in this country would have happened if we had a direct democracy. You'd
1:56
probably still have slavery if we had a direct democracy because it's majority rules. So I mean
2:03
these people got to watch what they're wishing for some of the things like gay marriage and all
2:08
these liberal causes that are only for fringe people and when I say fringe I mean a minority
2:12
of people not that there's anything wrong with them but that all these things that they pushed
2:16
that were for a minority of people would probably be rejected by the majority. So direct democracy
2:24
is really mob rule you don't want that but he wants to get rid of the electoral college folks
2:30
totally gut the constitution totally stop what makes us a representative republic. The problem
2:36
is that Democrats in the media say the word democracy so many times that your kids your
2:41
grandkids maybe even you believe we are a democracy we're not a direct democracy
2:46
we are a constitutional republic and that's been lost in all this. So I think you know get civics
2:53
back in school and get people like Jamie Raskin out of Washington DC. I want you to watch what
2:59
he says here and then let me know what you think in the comments. We passed the nation's first
3:04
national popular vote interstate compact we initiated that we're now more than two-thirds
3:09
of the way there because it's 2024 how about it's time we start electing the president the way we
3:16
elect mayors and representatives and senators and governors whoever gets the most votes wins right
3:22
rather than a convoluted antique obsolete system from the 18th century which these days can get
3:29
you killed as nearly it did on January the 6th 2021. I mean we were meeting there just because
3:35
of the formalities of the 12th amendment which say that you've got to have a joint session to
3:40
count the electoral college votes sent in by the governors under the certificates of ascertainment
3:45
but we knew who had won the election everybody knew who had won the election but we're still
3:49
going through these 18th century rituals and that's what gave you know Donald Trump the
3:56
opportunity to convoke the mob come here we'll be wild and then tell them to go and fight and
4:01
fight like hell or they wouldn't have a country anymore that you know so look we've had five
4:10
popular vote losers in American history become president twice in this century alone in 2000 and
4:16
2016 and I think the vast majority of American people think we should be electing the president
4:22
just by having an election and seeing who gets the most votes rather than this convoluted rickety
4:27
system where it all comes down to a handful of states six or seven states instead of everybody's
4:33
vote counting equally everywhere in the country
