Direct voting in US presidential elections is not a good idea because it
would give too much votes to coastal city people who might elect idiot
liberals like Gavin Newsom or Zohran Mamdani.
Meanwhile the one we have elected the fried brain, talk show hose,
certified crazy person, himbo.
Avoiding that looks like an easy choice top me.
