Yeah, but right now, the divide is red state vs blue state, not big state vs small state. Otherwise California and Texas would be on the same team.
Again, right now does not matter because smaller states in terms of population are red. It’s population. And you still don’t acknowledge that without the Great Compromise we wouldn’t have a USA.
In a popular vote snarareao, most people in the US don’t live in one of the 4 biggest states in the country. It’s possible to win the popular vote while not getting a single vote from California, Texas, New York, or Florida. I’m from CT, but I don’t feel like a CT resident; I feel like an American. It makes more sense to have the electoral college based on ethnicity (so the British ethnicity gets some electoral votes, the Italian ethnicity gets some electoral votes, the Indian ethnicity gets some electoral votes) than to have the things that get electoral votes be pieces of land on a map where people are well mixed up to an extent. But ideally, everyone’s vote should matter equally individually.
That makes zero sense lol. You still have yet to argue against the knowingly rejecting popular vote method.
I know why the elecoral college existed; I don’t see the point in it now. NYC voters have more in common with LA voters than they do upstate NY voters. The states don’t mean much anymore.
Again, it’s population.
What do you mean by economic considerations or religious ones? Christian’s make up the majority of every state in the country. Slavery was an issue when the states had way more autonomy; they have less autonomy now.
Oh my god. Dude you’re literally ignorant.
Biden won because mask mandates in 2020 were backed by 80% of the population and Trump didn’t support them. This caused some people to vote democrat. People also didn’t like Trump’s personality. Me, I like a guy that has the balls to brag about his net worth. But a lot of people got sick of Trump.
So Biden won cause of Trump, not his policies.
It’s just that my history knowledge isn’t the best, although I learned a fair amount of it in school. I learned about the electoral college and why we have it, even if I don’t agree with it now. If I was alive in 1800, I would have agreed, but not now when society is much more integrated.
And this is exactly the reason why the Founding Fathers wanted an Electoral College
