Here's my take on the U.S. having lost its international status as a democracy, which was long overdue.

How do you figure? Back when this was created it was all white guys and slaves. I don't think maintaining racial power is what it is about... Not much has changed in those 200 odd years, not sure why this would change. Framing everything as a racial issue isn't productive.
I actually strongly disagree. Today, the best way to get things changed is to frame things as racial. When the overall effect of the electoral college is that every white person gets 1 vote and every non-white gets 9/10 of a vote, clearly that is discriminatory. I think legally, the racial disparity provides the leverage needed to change it.
