The reason the Electoral College doesnt suck is that it keeps the top 20 urban areas frim selecting our President each election. You argue that swing states get all the attention but think how bad it would be if the only places that mattered were NYC, Chic, LA, SF, Hou, Atl, Philly, Mia, and Boston...


And the opposing argument is that the places where more Americans live should help decide elections because that’s where more Americans have decided to live, work, and raise families.

So you're saying the New Orleans school system should have sayso on how the Winnsboro school system is run because New Orleans knows more about school systems because of their population?

They do help decided them you tard. It's not like the EC is split equally.

And the people there have a hive mind mentality.

Does the beliefs, wants, and demands of someone residing in Manhattan match someone in Tennessee? San Francisco match someone in Alabama? Do they have the same life experiences? The same surroundings? How many people in San Francisco have held a hunting rifle? How many in Mississippi hasn’t?

People in Coastal California and the northeast coast want to rule based on their location. That doesn’t work in the central and south US. We should live like people gathered in Boston and Chicago think?

A permanent rule from the urban population centers who know nothing of what other states’ needs, norms, and wants entail is a recipe for conflict. People in the Midwest and South will not take the constant finger pointing from the east and west coasts constantly for very long.
