Madison would be ashamed.

From Federalist #10

"The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States. A religious sect may degenerate into a political faction in a part of the Confederacy; but the variety of sects dispersed over the entire face of it must secure the national councils against any danger from that source. A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it; in the same proportion as such a malady is more likely to taint a particular county or district, than an entire State."

Are you an elector? Then why are you voting for President?

Madison and others knew that democracy inevitably turns into grand, organized theft, and tried to curb it by making the Union a republic. But democracy turned out to be much more insidious than they ever imagined. States quickly starting choosing "slates" of electors via popular vote, and that was enough to let "the influence of factions" run rampant.
