imma be honest, i've had it explained to be a million times, but i still do not understand the modern point of the electoral college... WHY WOULDNT POPULAR VOTE WORK???? its just adding up the total votes...

Now it just causes swing states to go crazy if you look at where a president visits on their tour, they don’t visit the small states. They don’t visit California, Texas, or NY either. They visit Florida, Penn, South Carolina

oh yea, they completely focus on the swing states, which makes sense given the system but i fear that the system doesn't fucking make sense

“ they won’t care about a small states” they literally never did in the first place, 96% of campaign funding went to 12 states
