Ralph Nader is a consumer advocate and the author of 'The Seventeen Solutions: Bold Ideas for Our American Future' (2012). His new book is, 'Wrecking America: How Trump's Lies and Lawbreaking Betray All' (2020, co-authored with Mark Green).
Over thirty years ago, Republican historian and political analyst, Kevin Phillips, remarked that the “Republicans go for the jugular while the Democrats go for the capillaries.” This serious disparity in political energy levels is rarely taken into account to explain election turnouts. The voluntary enfeebling of the Democratic Party started long ago.
Even more inexplicable was the Democratic Party’s refusal to strongly support the galvanizing political civic movement to cancel the Electoral College . This organizing effort has led so far to the passage of state laws handing the Electoral College vote to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote. The Democrats won the popular vote in 2000 and 2016 but lost the Electoral College vote to G.W. Bush and the surprised Donald Trump.
