Deconstructing Politics in America

Electoral College Vs Popular Vote In this blog I will be talking about the sharing my opinion on the electoral college and the popular vote. If you don't know what these two things are, the electoral college is a system based on the population of the state in which is decided how many votes they are allowed. If a candidate is able to receive 270 votes from the Electoral College they are elected president automatically. The popular vote is the people's vote, if you are in favor of a candidate, you will place a vote for that candidate and they will all be counted and the candidate with the most votes wins the popular vote. In my opinion I believe in more of the popular vote because I feel like we are educated enough to make a good decision as a nation. The Electoral College was made for uneducated people in the 1804 when not a lot of people had the privilege of being educated. Times have changed and most people had some sort of education growing up, we can't be living

Today I will be analyzing two political groups and their beliefs on the environment.  On the Liberal Side we have the Sierra Club: Sierra Club believes in protecting the national parks and having peaceful protest to expose environmental problems. Artifact: The point of view of this artifact is to advocate for people going green. As you can see the interest group is pretty open about their issue holding up signs in public saying, "Protect Our Environment. Protect Our Democracy." Also during this protest they wanted to show how the green movement isn't just for hippie white people but it has a diverse culture. This will lead to more people joining the movement and interest group because this will allow people to think that they will be brought in and not left out.  Biases and Limitations:  - There aren't really any biases towards any side because they are very open with their issue and don't have any facts or talk about their side or the other side
