Please check out this Dennis Prager University video that explains why the founding fathers came up with the electoral college and why it is still a viable/good (though not perfect) system. https://www.prageru.com/courses/political-science/popular-vote-vs-electoral-college . You argue that the electoral college is unfair because candidates spend an inordinate amount of resources on swing states, but if we did away with the electoral college, candidates would then focus on just the big cities while ignoring the rest of the country - no system is perfect. I don’t know what you have against Justice Gorsuch, someone who will uphold the constitution and not legislate from the bench. Regarding the Muslim ban, I believe that the ban was only for five Muslim countries where we have no hope of doing reasonable vetting. So it was not really a Muslim ban as there are a lot more than 5 Muslim countries. Also, I believe that President Obama temporarily banned immigrants from these same five countries. One thing you might want to stop is propensity for name calling. In my opinion, immediately labeling those who disagree with you as racist, sexist, homophobic, … ,or just plain idiotic is a sign intellectual weakness.
