I am just starting to research this. We all know the narratives. Democrats say it was all a completely normal and fair election. Republicans claim it was rigged and stolen. At this point I’m leaning toward the ‘rigged’ concept, which could be as simple as jerrymandered redistricting or as nefarious as fraudulent ballots. Not sure.

So far all I have is some diagrams I have been drawing to try and figure things out. Those are below. More to come soon, I hope.

Just starting to collect my thoughts here. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with elections for awhile now. Time to explore this more and write it all out.

Rousseau already observed that this form of government is more accurately an ‘elective aristocracy’ because in practice the people are not in power at all. Instead we’re allowed to decide who holds power over us. It’s also important to realise this model was originally designed to exclude society’s rank and file. Take the American Constitution: historians agree it ‘was intrinsically an aristocratic document designed to check the democratic tendencies of the period’. It was never the American Founding Fathers’ intention for the general populace to play an active role in politics.
