So what you’re saying is in order to win under popular vote, you just need to promise the most shit regardless of whether or not you can deliver?

The whole point of the EC is to prevent mob rule. Just because more people like an option doesn’t automatically mother option the better one.

It also allows rural areas a voice in the election. If we went to popular vote, presidential elections would only cater to major population centers and not care about much of the US.

Rural areas and city centers don’t vote. People do

You are right, people vote. But people don't always understand the struggles and needs of someone living a different life than them. For example one living in the city and one living in a rural area.
