    No one voted for them, they are not representatives. They are vote carriers.

    Sullying the actual work representatives do by calling glorified vote carriers the same thing is an insult to the word representative.

      They represent the state in the actual election of the President. “Faithless electors” are a thing, at least as a theoretical concept.

      It’s not insulting to use words for what they mean. I am so very confused by your underlying hostility here.
