To be fair, no other democracy is even close to the size of the US. Most countries aren’t spread out enough for an electoral college to make a grain of sense.
And a coastal state with a huge population and no understanding of things people in a landlocked state 700 miles away shouldn’t get to have more of a say in who controls the country. Without the electoral college, pretty much every president would come from one of the same 5 states every time, and the rest of the country would always get placed on the back burner, because “they never win elections”.
Each state should have more of an equal say in who the president is.

Agreed, that’s why a 1-person, 1-vote system unlike the EC is a good idea!

Lol, what the FUCK gives you that idea? Why is it that EC supporters imagine states vote as a unified block if we end the EC? Are you literally incapable of understanding that different people in a state vote differently (an idiot), or are you purposefully pretending that you are (faking being an idiot, which is being a bigger idiot)

No. Coastal states are vastly more populated by a large margin. Texas, Florida, and California hold 1/3 of the entire population. A straight vote means that those will be the states that swing and win elections.

Because it’s a gimme that politicians from their home state do very well when running for a higher office. Democrats and Republicans will always nominate a candidate from a very populated state for this reason, because it’s always free votes. Surely you aren’t too dumb to have not noticed that?
Exactly, end the electoral college
Lol. No. I guess you are an idiot. The electoral college is literally in place to give states a more equal power in picking the president. That’s literally the reason it exists.

B-But… BIG country! BIG people. BIGLY BIG. It just won’t work. /s
Geography has nothing to do with it. If your state has more electoral votes per capita than mine, then my vote doesn’t count as much as yours.

You have a broken interpretation of things.

Yawn, more garbage arguments
Keep arguing for the system of minority rule while claiming you’re against exactly that, the rest of us will point and laugh at you as you deserve
Well, the UK. Although the UK is a constitutional Monarchy and the prime minister isn’t elected by popular vote, but by MPs
The UK? You have less land area than several of our individual states. You’re smaller than Colorado.
Canada right next for is larger than US lol
